I would assume that the Texas Guard did. We had Selectrics all over the 48th
Aromored HQ here in the Georgia Guard back in '66 and the Texas Guard had a
lot more budget that we did.

We only had Royal electrics at my office so whenever I needed to type up a
really nice letter I would run down to the Guard Hq and use one of their
Selectrics. I used a Times Roman ball too. Got yelled at by the Sgt once
for not changing back to the san sertif ball he used for his reports.

Hehehe.....Selectrics do the TH in superscript (if you have the right
ball) which foils at least half their premise. Can't remember exactly
but I seem to remember the better models did have variable spacing
(kerning) of the text (my memory only, not guaranteed). I believe that
was one of the selling points to pay the big bucks for a selectric
rather than the other brand.

1. Were Selectrics common in military offices at that time?
2. Are there any other documents from that same office at the same
time to compare?

I believe at this time..the answer to both, is no.
