Fifty Years on Nato's Southern Flank
FIFTY YEARS ON NATO’S SOUTHERN FLANK A HISTORY OF SIXTEENTH AIR FORCE 1954 – 2004 By WILLIAM M. BUTLER Sixteenth Air Force Historian Office of History Headquarters, Sixteenth Air Force United States Air Forces in Europe Aviano Air Base, Italy 1 May 2004 ii FOREWORD The past fifty years have seen tremendous changes in the world and in our Air Force. Since its inception as the Joint U.S Military Group, Air Administration (Spain) responsible for the establishment of a forward presence for strategic and tactical forces, Sixteenth Air Force has stood guard on the southern flank of our NATO partners ensuring final success in the Cold War and fostering the ability to deploy expeditionary forces to crises around our theater. This history then is dedicated to all of the men and women who met the challenges of the past 50 years and continue to meet each new challenge with energy, courage, and devoted service to the nation. GLEN W. MOORHEAD III Lieutenant General, USAF Commander iii PREFACE A similar commemorative history of Sixteenth Air Force was last published in 1989 with the title On NATO’s Southern Flank by previous Sixteenth Air Force Historian, Dr. Robert L. Swetzer. This 50th Anniversary edition contains much of the same structure of the earlier history, but the narrative has been edited, revised, and expanded to encompass events from the end of the Cold War to the emergence of today’s Global War on Terrorism. However, certain sections in the earlier edition dealing with each of the countries in the theater and minor bases have been omitted. -

The political importance of Egypt and its economic and business potential for Japanese companies are significant enough for JICA to assist in the development of Egypt. With a large and young population, Egypt’s labour force and market are attractive to Japanese businesses. Fifty companies have expanded their operations in the country and more Japanese companies are interested in investing in Egypt. In total, JICA has provided around USD 1.2 billion of grant aid, and financed 42 projects with loans worth nearly USD 6.5 billion. -
