In our area, you should contact Sgt. Forstahoff, at the Department of Public Safety District Office, on Villa Maria, at (713) 846 -0012 or (713) 846 -3731. Once the Department of Public Safety has been notified, the chain of events are as follows: 1. The Department of Public Safety contacts the Governor. 2. The Governor personally contacts the State Adjutant General. 3. The State Adjutant General contacts the Texas National Guard units through his chain of command. Coordination is the key to the success of any operation. Once assistance has been requested through the DPS, the local civilian authorities should contact the local Guard unit. Here in Bryan /College Station, L Troop 3/163 Armored Cav is the unit which you should notify. The Armory is located on 25th St. The phone number there is (713) 822 -1600. Captain Tillman's home phone number is (713) 823 -0559. What can the Guard do? If you should need to call on the National Guard, you would probably like to know what you can expect from us. In the event of a disaster or -2- disturbance, the guard is capable of performing the following: 1. Missions of immediate necessity that require immediate action to prevent undue human suffering, loss of life and /or damage to property. 2. Law enforcement and security.
