COBRA DANE Radar: Protecting the continental U.S.

(Photo by Chief Petty Officer Brandon Raile) EARECKSON AIR STATION, SHEMYA, AK — The COBRA DANE radar is a single faced ground-based, L-band phased-array radar located at Eareckson Air Station, Shemya, AK. The primary mission of COBRA DANE is to collect radar metric and signature data on foreign ballistic missile events. Additional missions include collecting space surveillance data on new foreign launches and satellites in low-earth orbit. The radar has a 95-foot diameter phased array and the capability to track and record data on as many as 120 objects simultaneously.

By Peter Holstein Air Force Surgeon General Public Affairs

FALLS CHURCH, Va.— The Air Force Medical Service (AFMS) became indepen- dent from the U.S. Army in 1949, just four years after the end of World War II. The Korean War, just a year later, was the first opportunity for the new medical arm of the U.S. Air Force to demonstrate its value in a wartime situation. Many of the lessons learned and process developed in that con- flict are still vital to the AFMS mission today. When North Korean troops invaded South Korea in June 1950, Far East Air Forces (FEAF) had only about 85 medical personnel. Within two months, heavy U.S. and United Nations casualties almost overwhelmed the meager Allied medical resources in the Far East. FEAF medical personnel soon increased to more than 600. Early in the war, the U.S. Army and Marine Corps preferred evacuating most casualties (U.S. Air Force photo) by rail and sea.
