The Guard test: no Indiana National Guard unit is stationed in New Carlisle

Item 3 — the named Guard lineage carried to the present unit — tested, boundary size

The test was run against the Indiana National Guard's own published community record, and the answer for this town is none. The Military Department of Indiana's "Indiana National Guard in Your Community" record — the state's own armory, readiness, recruiting and unit-support listing, read whole — contains no New Carlisle entry of any kind: no armory, no recruiting station, no readiness or support office. A text search of the full record for "New Carlisle" returns nothing. The county's Guard presence in that same record is South Bend's, and it is named: "Your armory in South Bend," 1901 S. Kemble Avenue, South Bend, IN 46613; a South Bend fitness performance center at the same Kemble Avenue address; the battalion coach line "South Bend — 2-151 IN," tying the station to the 2nd Battalion, 151st Infantry Regiment; and an Army National Guard recruiting station at 1901 South Bend Kemble Avenue, with a second county recruiting station at 1023 West Edison Road, Mishawaka. The published unit structure agrees: Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 151st Infantry Regiment is in South Bend, with a Detachment 4, Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 163rd Field Artillery Regiment in South Bend in support. The named Guard lineage for this county therefore runs to a present unit seated in South Bend — the headquarters company of the 2-151st Infantry — and Olive Township's share of it is the share Wars & Military Service already prints: township men served in county-raised formations; no Guard formation has its home station on this ground. The lineage is carried to the present unit at boundary size, and the boundary is the finding.
