Our objectives were to describe the changing management environment, identify the related challenges and the information required to address them, and provide an example of a relational database to facilitate a robust understanding of the demands aircrew training makes on ranges and airspace. The technical data and details outlined in the appendixes focus on activities to collect, review, and update Air Force operational flight training data sets first provided in a relational database that RAND and Air Combat Command (ACC) developed several years ago. We expanded the data sets to include training programs that Air Force Special Operations Com- mand (AFSOC), Air Education and Training Command (AETC), and Air Mobility Com- mand (AMC) administer. The compact disk supplies the updated decision tool. The data sets establish standard maneuver parameters for training activity that can be used by units in building training sorties and by range managers and other program managers in understand- ing the training demand on test and training ranges and special-use airspace in the United States and overseas. This report is intended to inform strategic planners, programmers, operational train- ing managers and instructors, and users of air and space training infrastructure capabilities. Because the research discusses the relationship between combatant commanders’ warfighting requirements and the range and airspace infrastructure needed to supply them, it should be of interest to Air Force operators, those who employ air and space forces, and anyone involved with developing or training air and space crews, including those in the air reserve component. It will also be of interest to those in the Department of the Air Force who must advocate for and defend range and airspace access before public and private entities. This is one in a series of RAND reports that addresses improving the Air Force’s ability to connect operational requirements to advanced training and its supporting infrastructure by making these relationships more explicit.

The Memorial’s latest addition, the War Dog Memorial, was dedicated during the program, retired U.S. Army Corporal and war dog handler William “Bill” Wynne, gave the keynote address. The day began at 10:30 a.m. with the dedication at the War Dog Memorial, where five war dog statues donning detailed characteristics of the original war hero and the landscape they served gave onlookers a realistic feel of the setting. Each dog was presented with his/her own specific dedication. At the end of each dedication, Ron Aiello, President of the U.S. War Dog Association awarded each canine with the War Dog Medal of Honor for their heroic service. The unique memorial depicts the landscape of five different theatre wars; five different breeds of canines assigned to five various missions. Sergeant Stubby, a bull dog, terrier mix was the first official U.S. War Dog that served in WWI; Smoky, a 4 lbs Yorkshire terrier from WWII was the first documented U.S. therapy dog and Australia’s first war dog; an unnamed Doberman Pincer who represents all the undocumented fallen canine heroes served in the Korean War; Nemo, a German Shepherd that served in Vietnam; and of course Gabe, a yellow lab IED detection war dog who served many tours during the Global War on Terror.

  • Military Working Dogs: Impact on War and Handlers
    Sydney Kirchenheiter Mr. Brant U. S. History 27 April 2018 Military Working Dogs: Impact on War and Handlers Over hundreds of years warfare tactics have continued to evolve and improve. From spears, to guns, to bombs, to nuclear weapons. These weapons are the deciding factor of outcomes of wars. Win or lose. Life or death. Military working dogs (MWDs), first used by the United States in World War I, are an example of this evolved and improved warfare. Sometimes these dogs are considered more useful than their handlers or other soldiers because of their heightened senses, tracking ability, loyalty, and ability to go where a soldier cannot. MWDs have served as companions and heroes to soldiers during war and post war, and may have even ultimately impacted the outcomes of wars, such as WWI, WWII, and the Vietnam War. MWDs have taken on a number of roles and duties since they were first introduced in WWI. Single Purpose Dogs have one purpose, to sniff out explosives or narcotics. These typically consist of the sporting breeds like, retrievers, vizslas, short/wired hair pointers, Jack Russell terriers, and small poodles.1 Dual-purpose dogs—which are typically German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, or Dutch Shepherds—perform patrol/detection work and basic scouting. Multi purpose canines, on the other hand, have multiple abilities: sniff out bombs, do patrol work, scouting, and even go on parachute/rappel operations.2 Other dogs typically specialize in one 1 Goodavage, Soldier Dogs, 56. 2 ibid., p. 55 area. For example, there are separate explosive detector dogs, narcotic detector dogs, tactical explosives detector dogs, patrol narcotics detector dogs, IED detector dogs, and patrol explosives detector dogs.3 There are also specialized search dogs, which are typically the same breeds as the dual-purpose dogs.

Gander was posthumously awarded the Dickin Medal in 2000. Sgt. Gander, a Newfoundland dog, and other animals who served in Canada's military are recognized on the Veterans Affairs Canada. A grenade killed Sgt. Gander. He grabbed it and ran, taking it away from his men. It took his life when it exploded, but his action saved many. The book Sergeant Gander: A Canadian Hero, by St. Thomas' own Robyn Walker, is called "a fascinating account of the Royal Rifles of Canada's canine mascot, and his devotion to duty during the Battle of Hong Kong in the Second World War."

  • Good Morning. My Name Is Dave Tabar, Creative Director and Owner
    Good morning. My name is Dave Tabar, Creative Director and Owner of Studio A Films LLC, a small Westlake, Ohio based filmmaker, and Blackpool Records, a Cleveland-based record label. I am a Member of ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, AIMP the Association of Independent Music Publishers, a supporter of the Greater Cleveland Film Commission and filmmaking and music production throughout the great State of Ohio. I also serve as a fire and life-safety technical committee member on the National Fire Protection Association’s Standard on Motion Picture and Television Production Studio Soundstages, Approved Production Facilities, and Production Locations, - NFPA 140. I am speaking before the Committee today to support the continuation of tax incentives that are necessary to support filmmaking and related music production industries in Ohio. I am also speaking in support of an increase to those incentives. Film studios, film and music producers, sound stages, educational programs and career development are essential needs for Ohio’s entertainment industry. It is critically important that Ohio’s economy, and the individuals who are employed or contracted by these high-tech industries, will continue to evolve and thrive. As a newcomer to independent filmmaking and music production – having produced our first short film “Angel in a Foxhole” and soundtrack in late 2018 - I have seen the benefits that this industry generates. Through the Greater Cleveland Film Commission, I was Quickly able to learn the business of screenwriting, financing, fundraising, permitting, and even the politics of, filmmaking. This support led to great success in our efforts to work with local industries, individuals and organizations.

Smoky - Yorkie Doodle Dandy - Sweetheart Hero DogBy Abu TekalThis book, Yorkie Doodle Dandy: A Memoir, by William Wynne is the BEST book I have ever read! The memoir about Smoky is the dearest book to my heart. It was a most exciting story to read as it relates details from the moment Smoky is discovered throughout her life. I have never read a book in which the essence of the relationship between a Hero dog like Smoky and her owner and trainer and life's partner just jumped off the pages. It is a totally amazing story of Smoky and Bill's WW II war experiences and of their post-war experiences. Many awesome pictures of Smoky are in this book.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful.

Bill and I met at a McDonald’s alongside an interstate. He told me story after story about his life, from living in an orphanage, to fighting in the war, working at NACA (now NASA), and his life as a photojournalist. I told him his story was much bigger than just the dog and the war story, although Smoky is the story within the story. This clever canine had become a war-dog hero, and most likely saved many lives. And, according to Animal Planet, Smoky is credited with being the first therapy dog. Bill believes that Smoky brought out the best in him and he brought out the best in her. To- gether, Bill and Smoky lifted the spirits of the sick and wounded in military hospitals, and when they returned to civilian life, they contin- ued to visit hospitals and orphanages.

  • Celebrating the Human Animal Bond
    Celebrating the Human Animal Bond On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. The donkey was the animal chosen by Army Commanders back then when opposing sides met to sign a peace treaty. In choosing a donkey Jesus was declaring peace for the world on behalf of God. Domesticated animals have shared the lives of the human race for thousands of years. Dogs were domesticated about 15000 years ago. Since then they have complimented our lives first as hunting partners, livestock herders, protectors and companions. Today the role of dogs has expanded to include guiding the blind and assisting the deaf and disabled, contributing to our safety at airports and assisting police and the armed forces, diagnosing cancer, as therapy dogs for PTSD and probably most importantly as companions. I am interested in the roles that animals served in WWI &II. and since we are close to Remembrance Day and spend a few minutes sharing some stories with you. Horses, mules and donkeys have served us in agriculture and transportation for centuries. Unfortunately, they have been conscripted for cavalry service in war for hundreds of years. In WWI their role as part of cavalries diminished and they were used more to pull wagons, artillery or ambulances often under hellish conditions. Imagine for a second the trauma experienced by a horse raised on a peaceful farm. On the battlefield they endured the horror of the sounds and smells of war. It is estimated that over 8 million horses mules or donkeys were killed in WWI. Dogs pigeons, cats, camels and elephants were also used by the armies in WWI.

  • Gender, Ethnicity, and Literature in Japan and Korea, 1930S–1950S
    Fissured Languages of Empire: Gender, Ethnicity, and Literature in Japan and Korea, 1930s–1950s Christina Yi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Christina Yi All rights reserved ABSTRACT Fissured Languages of Empire: Gender, Ethnicity, and Literature in Japan and Korea, 1930s–1950s Christina Yi This dissertation investigates how Japanese-language literature by Korean writers both emerged out of and stood in opposition to discourses of national language, literature, and identity. The project is twofold in nature. First, I examine the rise of Japanese-language literature by Korean colonial subjects in the late 1930s and early 1940s, reassessing the sociopolitical factors involved in the production and consumption of these texts. Second, I trace how postwar reconstructions of ethnic nationality gave rise to the specific genre of zainichi (lit. “residing in Japan”) literature. By situating these two valences together, I attempt to highlight the continuities among the established fields of colonial-period literature, modern Japanese literature, and modern Korean literature. Included in my analyses is a consideration of literature written by Japanese writers in Korea, transnational media and publishing culture in East Asia, the gender politics of national language, and the ways in which kōminka (imperialization) policies were neither limited to the colonized alone nor completely erased after 1945. Rather than view the boundaries between “Japanese” and “Korean” literature as fixed or self-evident, this study examines the historical construction of these categories as generative discourses embedded in specific social, material, and political conditions.
