I did some clerk typist duties in the Army in 75. I had a manual typewriter. An IBM would have been nice.. but I don't think they made it down into the trenches.

And the National Guard gets equipment AFTER it gets to the trenches! ;)

I'm sure that's true, but equipment varied. As I said earlier, the headquarters office for my USAF Detachment at Ft. George Meade had three of the IBM Executive typewriters. They were available for requisition. I'm sure they were there because the officer in charge liked pretty type to post on the detachment bulletin board. He requisitioned them and got them. Not every office had the same stuff.
