Conversations from Cecil Field, Florida
Conversations from Cecil Field, Florida TRANSCRIPTIONS OF ORAL HISTORY RECORDINGS OF NINETEEN WHO SERVED Lyn Corley Out in the piney woods of Northeast Florida was born NAAS Cecil Field, child of NAS Jacksonville. From two hangars, Hangar 13 and Hangar 14, and a 2,000-foot diameter circular landing mat it grew with the addition of four 5,000-foot runways. It grew to house a jet squadron in 1949 with Carrier Air Group 1 and Fleet Aircraft Service Squadron 9. It grew with four 8,000- foot runways to become the first Master Jet Base in the South. It grew to have eight hangars and 19,000 acres with its own outlying fields. Its extended 12,500-foot runway grew to become an alternate landing site for NASA space shuttles. It grew with the addition of Naval Weapons Station Yellow Water with over 10,000 acres, Outlying Field Whitehouse, and Pinecastle Bombing Range. Cecil grew to encompass 3% of the land area of Duval County, Florida. Cecil served our world by becoming a training base for those who would protect American lives and freedoms that we cherish. Tens of thousands of men and women came through its gate to serve. They lived and died in that pursuit. Cecil had promise “to continue to be a station of significant importance to readiness in the U. S. Atlantic fleet” according to public relations materials but, NAS Cecil Field passed away on September 30, 1999. Many fought to save its life and the City of Jacksonville, Florida and those who served there mourned its passing.

Acquisition Research Program Graduate School of Defense Management Naval Postgraduate School ABSTRACT The Air Wing of the Future (AWOTF) will provide unmatched lethality and capability in future theaters of operations. The addition of the F-35C Lightning II, MQ-25 Stingray, and CMV-22B to the combat proven team of F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, EA-18G Growlers, E-2D Hawkeyes, and MH-60R/S Seahawks also comes with increased manpower support requirements over today's carrier air wing. The increased complement of personnel necessary to operate the AWOTF will either require a multimillion-dollar ship modification to the baseline design, or a reduction to the individual squadron manpower documents. The objective of this capstone was to analyze manpower talent management, maintenance training, and squadron-level maintenance activities to determine whether a training improvement solution could substantiate a manpower reduction by creating a higher-quality, more capable work force.

WAR and PEACE in the HORNET Updated 0630/2016
WAR and PEACE in the HORNET Updated 0630/2016 The Fist’s “marriage” with the CORSAIR II lasted just 15 years before transitioning to the F/A-18 Hornet. The Marines fielded their first Hornet squadron, VMFA-314, in January 1983. Some six months later, VFA-113 and VFA-25 were the first customers at VFA-125, the West Coast Hornet training squadron. The Fists received their first Hornet on 11 November, an important date in Fist History, and reported to CVW-14 in January 1984. As of 2012, the squadron has flown the Hornet longer than any other assigned aircraft (only 21 years in the SPAD). Editor: The following chronology is incomplete in some periods, pending access to additional command reports. Inputs are welcome: [email protected] CHRONOLOGY 1983 Commander in Chief - Ronald Reagan. 1 January The Squadron’s 40th birthday. 1 January VA-25 began the year serving under the command of Captain D.

We appreciate your leadership and steadfast support for Navy and Marine Corps aviation acquisition and research programs. Dominant naval force and a strong maritime strategy are the primary engines of our National Defense Strategy (NDS). As we continue to face rapid change in the global security environment, including greater global trade and greater unpredictability, our national security posture must likewise change to adapt to the emerging security environment with a sense of urgency and innovation. This requires the right balance of readiness, capability and capacity as well as budget stability and predictability. It necessitates us to deliver relevant, effective, capability to our Sailors and Marines, and a constant focus on and partnership with the industrial base. They are key elements to our national security. The character of war has changed, and so must our approach to developing the world’s most lethal military force.

In Brief: the Logic of Aircraft Carrier Strike Groups
In Brief: The Logic of Aircraft Carrier Strike Groups This assessment provided the read-ahead for a recent carrier strike group working forum hosted by the Lexington Institute. Loren Thompson Lexington Institute September 2019 Global Trends Are Strengthening The Case For Carrier Strike Groups The United States is the only nation in history that has sustained a fleet of large-deck, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. “Large-deck” means the carrier has over four acres of deck space, enough to support a carrier air wing of 75 or more aircraft. “Nuclear-powered” means the carrier has unlimited range and endurance, requiring refueling only once during its 50-year service life. Current law requires a fleet of at least 11 such carriers, enough to support forward deployment of three to four carriers in the seas around Eurasia at any given time, and more during crises. Carriers typically operate in “strike groups” of several warships, with the carrier providing most of the offensive punch while surface combatants and submarines provide defense against overhead, surface and undersea threats. Large-deck carriers of the Nimitz and Ford class can sustain more than a hundred aircraft sorties per day, surging to over twice that number in wartime. With each strike aircraft capable of accurately delivering multiple smart bombs per flight, a carrier air wing can disable or destroy hundreds of targets in a single day. The Ford class was designed to optimize the efficiency of the flight deck and is able to generate more flights per day than previous generations of aircraft carriers. This increased sortie generation rate is critical for success in a peer/near-peer competitor environment.

U.S. Navy Squadron Designations and Abbreviations
n Designations http://www.history.navy.mil/branches/squades.htm Return to Naval Historical Center home page. Return to Aviation Historical Data DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY -- NAVAL HISTORICAL CENTER 901 M STREET SE -- WASHINGTON NAVY YARD WASHINGTON DC 20374-5060 U.S. Navy Squadron Designations and Abbreviations The system of squadron designations was established to help define part of Naval Aviation's organizational structure and help identify the operational and administrative functions of aviation within the fleet. Just as the designations for ships, such as DD, CA, BB, etc., were used to define the duties of the specific units and their alignment within the fleet organization, so also were the squadron designations established to formulate the responsibilities and alignment within naval aviation and the fleet structure. During naval aviation's early years there were big question marks concerning naval aviation's ability to succeed as a functional component of the fleet and whether it would survive due to the limited capabilities of the aircraft. In official publications and references, such as the Daily Aviation News Bulletin of 1 October 1919, casual terms were used to describe or identify various aircraft squadrons and units. The casual terms were used because no specific fleet aviation organizational structure for squadrons had been officially established. Prior to 1919, naval aircraft, excluding Marine Corps planes, were primarily assigned to shore stations. Therefore, in order to integrate aviation into the fleet, it was necessary to develop a fleet organization that included aviation units. The development of a system of squadron designations is discussed in Chapter 1.
