Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg April 30, 1948–June 29, 1953 Portrait By
Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg April 30, 1948–June 29, 1953 Portrait by Francis Henry Beaugureau OYT S. VANDENBERG was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on January 24, 1899. His father, William Collins Vandenberg, was president of a bookbinding company. HHis uncle, Arthur H. Vandenberg, went from newspaper publishing in Grand Rapids to prominence as a Republican member of the U.S. Senate. His family moved to Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1910 and Hoyt participated in the gamut of high school sports—baseball, football, hockey, golf, and track. He had an avid interest in scouting, ultimately becoming an Eagle Scout. His experience at the Plattsburg Junior Camp at Plum Island, New York—a sort of military school for the wealthy—in the summer of 1916 instilled a desire for a military career. Political connections and a year of hard work at Columbian Preparatory School in Washington, D.C., earned him an appointment to West Point, where he graduated and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Air Service in 1923. After completing the Primary Flying School at Brooks Field, Texas, in 1923 and Advanced Flying School at Kelly Field, Texas, the next year, he received his first assignment with the Third Attack Group at Kelly Field and assumed command of the 90th Attack Squadron. In Texas he married Gladys Rose, whom he had met as a cadet. They had two chil- dren. In 1927 he became an instructor at the Air Corps Primary Flying School at March Field, California. From 1929 to 1931 Vandenberg was with the 6th Pursuit Squadron at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, where he served as squadron commander for most of that period. -

THE EISENHOWER ADMINISTRATION's ROAD to SPACE MILITARIZATION by Peter Pindjak B.A., B.M., Northwestern State University Of
THE EISENHOWER ADMINISTRATION’S ROAD TO SPACE MILITARIZATION by Peter Pindjak B.A., B.M., Northwestern State University of Louisiana, 2009 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Graduate School of Public and International Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Public and International Affairs University of Pittsburgh 2011 Graduate School of Public and International Affairs University of Pittsburgh Thesis Committee Mr. Dennis Gormley Chairman Dr. William Dunn Member Dr. Forrest Morgan Member Dr. Phil Williams Member Defended on April 14, 2011 ii ABSTRACT The thesis examines the Eisenhower administration’s decisions to use space for intelligence and military purposes. The first two chapters cover historical developments spanning the period from 1945 to 1952 as well as the first two years of the Eisenhower presidency (1953-1954). The third chapter provides a detailed analysis of U.S. space policies from 1955 to 1961. In particular, Chapter III takes a close look at the U.S. military space program as well as the prospect for space arms control. Organized chronologically, the thesis draws on publicly available documents, including declassified documents deposited at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kansas. By examining significant National Security Council (NSC) documents, including reports and meeting notes, the thesis presents an argument that since the very beginning, U.S. space policy included a provision for intelligence and military applications of satellites as a matter of national security. Throughout the Eisenhower presidency, the concept of “peaceful” use of outer space, which did not preclude satellites from having certain military applications, was never questioned at the NSC. -

"Der Chef Des Kalten Krieges"
VALUR INGIMUNDARSON „DER CHEF DES KALTEN KRIEGES" C.D.Jackson, psychologische Kriegführung und die deutsche Frage 1953/54 Nach seinem großen Sieg in den Präsidentschaftswahlen von 1952 gab Dwight D.Ei- senhower ganz unterschiedliche Signale über den außenpolitischen Kurs seiner Ad ministration. Einerseits schien er gewillt, die Einsätze im Kalten Krieg zu erhöhen und sich an die republikanische Wahlkampfrhetorik von der „Befreiung" Ost deutschlands und Osteuropas zu halten. Anfang 1953 rief er zum Beispiel ein nach William Jackson benanntes Komitee ins Leben, das die amerikanische Propaganda komplett überholen sollte; auch legte er einen streng geheimen Plan zur Bildung anti kommunistischer militärischer Einheiten in Westdeutschland vor, eines „Freiwilligen Freiheitskorps" aus osteuropäischen Exilanten, das im Kriegsfall für den Einsatz in Europa oder Asien gedacht war. Außerdem berief er Charles Douglas Jackson, den Vizepräsidenten von „Time-Life" und getreuen Anhänger der Befreiungs-Doktrin, in ein neues Amt, das in Zusammenarbeit mit Regierungsstellen wie dem State De partment, der Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) und dem Verteidigungsministerium die psychologische Kriegführung der USA zu leiten hatte. Andererseits bekräftigte Eisenhower seine Verpflichtung auf die Kernelemente der Containment-Politik, die von der Truman-Administration in Westeuropa verfolgt worden war. So bekundete er seine volle Unterstützung der Europäischen Verteidigungsgemeinschaft (EVG) - des Rahmens für die westdeutsche Wiederbewaffnung und der französisch-deutschen
