Shepard, #1960 HONORS Service Streamers Campaign Streamers Armed Forces Expeditionary Streamers Decorations EMBLEM EMBLEM SIGNIFICANCE MOTTO NICKNAME OPERATIONS Organized on paper 1 January 1959, the 46th Air Defense Missile Squadron became a reality on 25 March 1959, when the Commanding Officer, Lt. Col. Ernest B. Shepard and other key personnel arrived at Hurlburt Field, Florida. The new squadron was composed of cross-trainees, factory trainees, retrainees, and a few other strains. The Unit Training Program, with the 4751st Air Defense Missile Squadron technicians acting as instructors, was established for a four months duration. The training program was divided into three phases. During the first phase, the new "Cadre" missilemen were indoctrinated in the Air Defense structure of which the Bomarc IM-99A Weapons System would become an integral part, and delved into the varied aspects of missile operations. Detailed explanation was given of the SAGE, (the controlling agency), Bomarc maintenance and supply concepts, health hazards, and ground safety. In the second phase, the men of the 46th entered into "Team Training" with their 4751st counterparts; working side by side to obtain specific job knowledge of the complex systems. The third and final phase unfolded when Major James C. Cuddington, 46th ADMS Executive Officer, received a Flag Order directing the 46th to accept, maintain, and process four Bomarc missiles into a firing configuration.

  • Air Force Sexual Assault Court-Martial Summaries 2010 March 2015
    Air Force Sexual Assault Court-Martial Summaries 2010 March 2015 – The Air Force is committed to preventing, deterring, and prosecuting sexual assault in its ranks. This report contains a synopsis of sexual assault cases taken to trial by court-martial. The information contained herein is a matter of public record. This is the final report of this nature the Air Force will produce. All results of general and special courts-martial for trials occurring after 1 April 2015 will be available on the Air Force’s Court-Martial Docket Website (www.afjag.af.mil/docket/index.asp). SIGNIFICANT AIR FORCE SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE SUMMARIES 2010 – March 2015 Note: This report lists cases involving a conviction for a sexual assault offense committed against an adult and also includes cases where a sexual assault offense against an adult was charged and the member was either acquitted of a sexual assault offense or the sexual assault offense was dismissed, but the member was convicted of another offense involving a victim. The Air Force publishes these cases for deterrence purposes. Sex offender registration requirements are governed by Department of Defense policy in compliance with federal and state sex offender registration requirements. Not all convictions included in this report require sex offender registration. Beginning with July 2014 cases, this report also indicates when a victim was represented by a Special Victims’ Counsel. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, sexual assaults against those 16 years of age and older are charged as crimes against adults. The appropriate disposition of sexual assault allegations and investigations may not always include referral to trial by court-martial.
