    UNCLASSIFIED !1fKaro I 01t;i~ Commission Sensitive MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD Event: Interviews at Otis Air National Guard Base (Otis ANGB) ® Type of event: Interview with Brigadier General Donald J. Quenneville Date: January 7, 2004 Special Access Issues: None Prepared by: Geoffrey Brown Team Number: 8 Location: 1020d Fighter Wing, Otis Air National Guard Base, Massachusetts Air National Guard Participants - Non-Commission: Andrew Huddleston (Dep Ch, Plans, Integration & Transformation Div, AF/XOHP, 703 696-0024, Fax: 703 588-0636) Participants - Commission: John Fanner, John Azzarello, Geoffrey Brown Background: Quenneville has been in the military for 33 years. Eight years of which was active duty. He came to the 1020d Fighter Wing in 1978, and last year became the commander of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. Please see the attached biography for further details. Alert Site Mission: Quenneville recalled that in 1972 NORAD's Air Defense mission included fifteen or sixteen alert sites. Between 1972 and 2001 the number of sites declined due to the perception of the Cold War threat. Most of those bases were at the maritime borders in 2001, as opposed to the northern alert sites that were active in the Cold War, and meant to respond to an attack from over the North Pole and Canadian airspace. Quenneville explained that the alert site mission was relatively constant through its changes. He noted that the mission at Otis ANGB was mostly focused on responding to Russian Bear (a type of aircraft with the capacity to carry air-to-surface missiles) activity. When the Russians developed the Bear H model- that has the capability of launching a cruise missile - Otis had a high priority on shadowing those aircraft; but as the Russian defense capability declined with the worsening of the Russian economy, the number of alert sites declined.
