    Still Serving Joining Digital World Call-Ins Day Late And

    Published by 11th Wing Retiree Activities Offices, National Capital Area June 2014 STILL SERVING JOINING DIGITAL WORLD Baseball legend Satchel Paige warned, “Don’t look back, something might be gaining on you.” Ole Satch was right on the money. A year ago, it appeared that increased mail costs would limit distribution of this publication to the Internet. Col. John Moser, director of Retiree Activities Offices at Andrews and Bolling refused to “look back,” and was able to negotiate another year of home mail delivery to nearly 30,000 Air Force retirees and surviving spouses in the National Capital Area. But the budget staff not only looked back, it looked ahead and concluded that increased costs of Still Serving mail delivery to be among necessary cuts in operational expenditures. Thus, effective with our October issue, newsletter readers will remain informed on subjects of interest to the retiree community through the magic of cyberspace. Those without home computers are encouraged to seek assistance of friends, family members and public outlets such as neighborhood libraries and senior centers. Still Serving will be provided on line during the first week of February, June and October. Plans call for additional “bulletins” to be made available in intervening months on the same electronic outlets. Still Serving remains available through the Andrews website -- Andrews.af.mil -- linking to “Retiree Activities Office,” through the courtesy of the 11th Wing Public Affairs Office. At Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, the Navy Public Affairs Office makes Still Serving available through its page on DoD’s video center -- tinyurl.com/jbabnews. An open invitation exists for other websites to get on board for this outreach to the area’s military retiree community.
  • Happy Bottom Eighth in the East

    Happy Bottom Eighth in the East

    Ridgewell Airfield Commemorative Association Happy Bottom 70 years ago this month a famous American actor came to Ridgewell. Fresh from filming ‘Mr. Winkle Goes to War’, Hollywood star, Edward G. Robinson, arrived to christen a new B-17 in honour of his wife. On 5 July 1944, Ridgewell came to a standstill. Not just for the war, but for movie actor Edward G. Robinson (alias "Rico" Bandello, a small-time crook from the movie, Little Caesar) who’d arrived to christen a new B- 17G which had recently been assigned to the 532nd Bomb Squadron. Base Chaplain James Good Brown was one of the first to greet him. He was left suitably impressed. “What a man!” Brown later wrote. “Of all the actors who came to the base, he showed the most human interest. He was never acting. He just wanted to walk around the base talking to the President—Dave Osborne men, and the men wanted to talk to him.” Chairman—Jim Tennet Robinson broke his gangster persona making the watching Treasurer—Jenny Tennet Secretary—Mike Land men howl with laughter when he announced that he was Membership Secretary—Alan Steel naming the new aircraft ‘Happy Bottom’ after his wife, Historian—Chris Tennet Gladys, which he cleverly mispronounced, ‘Glad Ass’. Volunteer—Monica Steel The actor was a big hit. “When he left the base, he left with Aki Bingley several thousand men as his friends,” said Chaplain Brown. DEDICATED TO THE MEN OF RAF 90 SQUADRON, 94 AND 95 MAINTENANCE UNITS AND USAAF 381ST BOMB GROUP Newsletter JULY 2014 Sadly, Happy Bottom didn’t fare so well.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lt. Col. Richard Stackpole April 9, 2021 OFFICE: 615.313.0662 21-14 [email protected] Colonel Jason Glass leads military COVID-19 vaccination efforts in Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Col. Jason Glass, Tennessee’s Assistant Adjutant General, Air, was named Tennessee’s first Dual-Status Commander for the federally-supported effort to help vaccinate citizens throughout Memphis against COVID-19 on April 1. Dual-Status Commanders serve a critical and unique function during emergencies by commanding both National Guard and active-duty forces. They coordinate and give orders to both state and federal troops, therefore simplifying the command and control of military personnel. The president and governor must both agree to the establishment of a dual status commander in the event of an emergency requiring the need to use multicomponent personnel. In partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state and local agencies, Glass leads a team of approximately 130 Navy and Marine Corps personnel with the 2nd Marine Division who arrived in Memphis earlier this week. The Sailors and Marines, organized as Vaccine Support Teams, help support a city-run, federally-supported Community Vaccination Center located at the Pipkin building at the Memphis Fairgrounds. In addition, he leads more than 30 Army and Air National Guard personnel also supporting the vaccination efforts in Memphis. “I’m honored to serve in this role,” said Glass. “Any opportunity to command is a blessing, but to be able to have four branches of the service under one multi-component command is a once in a life time opportunity and one that I don’t take lightly.
  • Military Operations

    Military Operations

    Case Study Military Operations In additon to serving more traditional aviation users, Tennessee’s airports provide substantial support to military aviation, including both the Tennessee Air National Guard (ANG) and the United States Air Force. These units have played important strategic roles in national defense and the United States’ military presence around the world. Further, their locations are tied to the geopolitical history of the nation. For instance, the nuclear research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Tennessee Valley Authority’s hydroelectric facilities gave critical strategic value to having military aviation as national defense. McGhee Tyson ANG Base – A Legacy of Service in Tennessee The McGhee Tyson ANG Base is located at McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS). Units housed at the base include the 134th Air Refueling Wing, 119th Command and Control Squadron, and 241st Engineering Installation Squadron. The 134th flies KC-135 Stratotankers, the military’s primary aerial refueling aircraft. The KC-135 has been in service for over fifty years and has a strategic role in extending the endurance of United States aircraft in action. The 134th has served in conflicts worldwide for decades, including most recently in the Middle East. The 119th plays a unique support role in ensuring the United States Air Force’s operational readiness as a component of the United States Strategic Command. Its continued presence in Tennessee reflects the state’s importance in the nation’s geopolitical legacy. The 241st has a long history in Tennessee, most recently relocating from another base in Chattanooga to the McGhee Tyson ANG Base. In total, McGhee Tyson ANG Base personnel, including both Air and Army National Guard members, account for over 1,400 jobs earning a combined annual $52 million in wages.

    National Guard and Reserve Equipment Report for FY2015

    NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015 (NGRER FY 2015) (In Accordance with Section 10541, Title 10, United States Code) March 2014 Prepared by Department of Defense Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Materiel and Facilities) COL Denise L. Loring, Editor Washington, DC 20301-1500 The estimated cost of this report for the Department of Defense is approximately $292,000 in Fiscal Years 2013–2014. Generated on 2014Feb28 RefID: 0-43F5A8A OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE 1500 DEFENSE PENTAGON WASHINGTON, DC 20301-1500 FOREWORD The Reserve Component (RC) allows for expanded capacity and capability as a cost-effective part of the Total Force with global reach and flexibility. Since 2001, the RC has supported more than 875,000 mobilizations worldwide. Budgetary pressures will continue to require astute management of reduced resources to mitigate their effects. The RC provides capability and capacity at a reduced cost in a time of funding reductions across all components. The RC, when integrated as part of the operational force during armed conflict and peacetime, provides for a cost-effective force mix at acceptable levels of risk to support the defense strategy. The RC equipment levels are at some of the highest levels in history; however this era of postwar fiscal reductions will bring significant equipping challenges over the next several years. The Department has made strides in enhancing equipment transparency and accountability, but has not yet attained transparency into the Services procurement and distribution processes and outcomes. The Department must explore other options, such as separating the RC procurement funding, to meet the intent of the Commission on the National Guard and Reserve initiatives on equipping inadequacies between Active Component (AC) and RC.
