NEWS/FEATURES MacDill celebrates Native American Heritage Month by Airman 1st Class Shannon Bowman 6th Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Ameri- can Indians constitute less than 2 percent of the nation’s population. Despite their small number, the Department of Defense acknowledges that today’s military successes depend heavily on Native Americans, with 31,000 serving on active duty and 140,000 living veterans. To commemorate the military service of American Indians and celebrate their contribu- tion to the U.S., MacDill Air Force Base hosted a Native American Heritage Month celebration Nov. 21. The event showcased Navajo art, tradition- al Cherokee dances and traditional Pow Wow Songs from the Kiowa and Cherokee Nations. Members of Team MacDill filled the chapel annex, sampled traditional native foods partici- pated in traditional dances. “Just look around the room, and you can see how diverse our organization is,” said Col.

As a result, a policy has been established to ensure the public is aware of Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Defense reg- ulations regarding the safety and security of re- sources and personnel on military installations. “Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems or drone flying is prohibited at MacDill Air Force Base,” said Air Force Staff Sgt. Heather Dixon, sUAS program manager assigned to the 6th Security Forces Squadron. “Drone enthusiasts are re- minded that, per the Federal Aviation Admin- istration, drones can’t be flown within a 5-mile radius of military airfields or commercial air- ports.” Further, according to the FAA, all drones are aircraft—even the ones bought at the toy store.

An introduction – Secretary of the Air Force Barbara M. Barrett Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS)—In her first formal interview since be- coming Secretary of the Air Force, Barbara M. Barrett told Air Force Tele- vision about her youth, her life’s journey and how those experiences make the Air Force a good match. “Aviation is a big part of my life and space is, too. For me, the Air Force is a very comfortable home and a place that feels like the right fit,” she says. Barrett is a lawyer, a rancher and instrument-rated pilot with a long history of corporate and federal service, including serving as ambassador to Finland and in senior positions with the Federal Aviation Administra- tion and Civil Aeronautics Board. Before she was 30, she was an execu- tive with two global Fortune 500 companies. Informed by those experiences, she says serving as the Secretary of the Air Force is “an extraordinary privilege” but clearly places her emphasis on “the depth of the responsibility that this job carries.” At the same time, she understands a larger truth: “I also know that every Airman, when they raise their hand to defend the country and the Constitution, is making a bigger commitment than I am,” she says. “My job will be to give them the tools, give them the re- Photo by Wayne Clark sources, give them the support and get out of the way.” Secretary of the Air Force Barbara M.

Their idea came to fruition in 1962 when MATS held its first airdrop training competition. For the next several years the competition remained an annual event, but it fell by the wayside during the years of the United States' most intense participation in the Southeast Asia conflict. The airdrop competitions were reinstated in 1969 but were halted again in 1973, because of budget cuts and the reduced emphasis being given to airdrop operations. However, the esprit de corps engendered among the troops and the training benefits derived from the earlier events were not forgotten and prompted the competition's renewal in 1979 in its present form. Since 1979 the Rodeos have remained an important training event and tactical evaluation exercise for the Military Airlift Command. The following historical study deals with the origins, evolution, and results of the tactical airlift competitions in MATS and MAC.

Kipp, Committee Member Date approved: April 27, 2009 ii PREFACE Generals have often been reproached with preparing for the last war instead of for the next–an easy gibe when their fellow-countrymen and their political leaders, too frequently, have prepared for no war at all. Preparation for war is an expensive, burdensome business, yet there is one important part of it that costs little–study. However changed and strange the new conditions of war may be, not only generals, but politicians and ordinary citizens, may find there is much to be learned from the past that can be applied to the future and, in their search for it, that some campaigns have more than others foreshadowed the coming pattern of modern war.1 — Field Marshall Viscount William Slim.

Hanover, USAF Department of Defense (DOD) Directive 3002.01E, Personnel Recovery in the Department of Defense, highlights personnel recovery (PR) as one of the DOD’s highest priorities. As an Air Force core function, PR has experienced tremendous success, having performed 9,000 joint/multinational combat saves in the last two years and having flown a total of 15,750 sorties since 11 September 2001. Despite this admirable record, the author contends that the declining readiness of aircraft and equipment as well as chronic staffing shortages prevents Air Force rescue from meeting the requirements of combatant commanders around the globe. To halt rescue’s decline, a numbered Air Force must represent this core function, there- by ensuring strong advocacy and adequate resources for this lifesaving, DOD-mandated function.
