  • ADC and Antibomber Defense, 1946-1972
    Obtained and posted by AltGov2: www.altgov2.org ADC HISTORICAL STUDY NO. 39 THE AEROSPACE DEFENSE COMMAND AND ANTIBOMBER DEFENSE 194& -1972 ADCHO 73-8-17 FOREWORD" The resources made available to the Aerospace Defense Command (and the predecessor Air Defense Command) for defense against the manned bomber have ebbed and flowed with changes in national military policy. It is often difficult to outline the shape of national policy, however, in a dynamic society like that of the United States. Who makes national policy? Nobody, really. The armed forces make recommenda­ tions, but these are rarely accepted, in total, by the political administration that makes the final pbrposals to Congress. The changes introduced at the top executive level are variously motivated. The world political climate must be considered, as must various political realities within the country. Cost is always a factor and a determination must be made as to the allocation of funds for defense as opposed to allocations to other government concerns. The personalities, prejudices and predilections of the men who occupy high political office invariably affect proposals to Congress. The disposition of these proposals, of course, is in the hands of Congress. While the executive branch of the government is pushect' and pulled in various directions, Congress is probably subject to heavier pressures. Here, again, the nature of the men who occupy responsible positions within the Congress often affect the decisions of Congress. ·National policy, then, is the product of many minds and is shaped by many diverse interests. The present work is a recapitulation and summarization of three earlier monographs on this subject covering the periods 1946-1950 (ADC Historical Study No.

The site initially had AN/FPS-3 and 5 radars. In 1957 an AN/FPS-6 replaced the AN/FPS-5 height-finder radar. Another height-finder radar came in 1958 along with an AN/FPS-20 search radar that replaced the AN/FPS-3. During 1959 Charleston joined the SAGE system. In 1963 the site became the first in the nation to receive an AN/FPS-27. This radar subsequently was upgraded to become an ANFPS-27A. The 765th was deactivated in September 1979.

  • The Ground Observer Corps Public Relations and the Cold War in the 1950S
    The Ground Observer Corps Clymer The Ground Observer Corps Public Relations and the Cold War in the 1950s ✣ Kenton Clymer Ground Observer Corps, Hurray! Protects our Nation every day. Protects our ºag, Red, White and Blue, They protect everyone, even you. Always on guard with Watchful eyes, Never tiring they search the skies. From now to eternity we shall be free, America’s guarded by the G. O. C. Tony Parinelli, Leominster, MA1 This article examines the development and demise of one of the least studied elements of U.S. homeland defense efforts in the 1950s: the Ground Ob- server Corps (GOC). In an earlier article I explored the origins of the GOC.2 Here I focus on the development of the organization in the mid-1950s until its deactivation in 1959, showing that the GOC never came close to achieving its goals for recruitment and effectiveness. Despite the grave shortcomings of the GOC, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) continued to support the organization, evidently because the GOC served the public relations interests of the Air Force, U.S. air defense, and, more generally, the Cold War policies of the United States. The lack of widespread public support for the GOC provides some credence to the contrarian view about the overwhelming fear of an im- minent Soviet nuclear strike on the United States that is commonly said to have characterized U.S. society in the 1950s.3 1.

After tours of duty as aide-de-camp to the commanding general at Barksdale Field, La., and Brooks and Biggs fields, Texas, he was sent to Tokyo, Japan, where he served, from December 1946 until June 1949, as a personnel officer in the Pacific Air Command and the Far East Air Forces. Next assigned as a B-36 crewmember with the 11th Bombardment Wing, Carswell Air Force Base, Texas, he began his long association with Strategic Air Command. From December 1950 to August 1954, he served as a personnel officer at SAC headquarters, Offutt Air Force Base, Neb. At Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark., from May 1955 to July 1959, he served as a B-47 aircraft commander, chief of plans, and director of operations for the 70th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing; and director of operations, 825th Air Division.

You now have a program. We designed this Historical Handbook of National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Leaders as a useful reference work for anyone who needs fundamental information on the leaders of the NGA. We have included those colleagues over the years who directed the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) and the component agencies and services that came together to initiate NGA-NIMA history in 1996. The NGA History Program Staff did not celebrate these individuals in this setting, although in reading any of these short biographies you will quickly realize that we have much to celebrate. Rather, this practical book is designed to permit anyone to reach back for leadership information to satisfy any personal or professional requirement from analysis, to heritage, to speechwriting, to retirement ceremonies, to report composition, and on into an endless array of possible tasks that need support in this way. We also intend to use this book to inform the public, especially young people and students, about the nature of the people who brought NGA to its present state of expertise.
