    Celebrating 100 Years of Marine Aviation Vol. 69, No. 38 www.cherrypoint.marines.mil September 22, 2011 ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ law repealed after nearly 2 decades CPL. SAMUEL A. NASSO MCAS CHERRY POINT Gays and lesbians may openly serve in the military, due to the recent repeal of Title 10 of the U.S. Code, Section 654, more commonly known as the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” law. The DADT law, established in 1993, allowed gays to serve as long as they kept their sexual orientation private. The repeal, enacted through a congressional bill in December, went into effect Tuesday, after the DOD certifi ed that current military members have been trained to adjust to the new policy. President Barack Obama certifi ed to Congress on July 22 that the U.S. Armed Forces have “prepared the necessary policies and regulations” to effectuate repeal and that implementation of these policies and regulations is consistent with the standards of military readiness, military effectiveness, unit cohesion, and recruiting and retention of the Armed Forces.

  • From Stalingrad to Khe Sanh: Factors in the Successful Use of Tactical Airlift to Support Isolated Land Battle Areas
    From Stalingrad to Khe Sanh: Factors in the Successful Use of Tactical Airlift to Support Isolated Land Battle Areas Dr. David K. Vaughan, Air Force Institute of Technology Major James H. Donoho, Air Combat Command In the last several years, the U. S. Air Force has provided key aerial logistics support for a number of relatively isolated locations where the threat of hostile fire has existed, including Tuzla and Mogadishu. Our airlift forces have been fortunate in that they have been able to conduct their operations into these remote locations successfully and, for the most part, safely. In crucial situations, necessary supplies—ammunition, food, fuel, equipment—are usually delivered by tactical airlift aircraft. From the earliest days, tactical airlift has tried to keep the losses small while delivering the greatest amount of supplies to the people who need it. Unfortunately, in spite of the best intentions of operational planners, that goal is not easily achieved. An examination of three instances should help to illustrate this fact and to suggest some essential aspects of successful tactical airlift in crisis situations. Three twentieth century land battles stand out for the role played by tactical airlift in affecting the outcome: the battle for Stalingrad in 1942-43, the siege at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, and the attack on Khe Sanh in 1968. In each of these three cases, the units under siege were located at some distance (100-200 miles) from their supply bases. Attempts were made in each situation to supply the besieged units through the use of airlift. In each case, the duration of the airlift support effort was about two months.

Launched by the North Vietnamese Army on 30 January, the coordinated attack against thirteen different provincial capitals throughout South Vietnam took Americans and South Vietnamese by surprise. The result was a costly, long campaign that ended in a hard –fought military victory for the United States and South Vietnamese. However, the outcome of the campaign had a significantly negative impact on support for the war in the United States, from which the nation would not fully recover.
