    Twentieth Air Force - from B-29S to Icbms a Proud Past…A Bright Future

    Twentieth Air Force - From B-29s To ICBMs A Proud Past…A Bright Future by Major General Tom Neary Commander, Twentieth Air Force THE TWENTIETH AIR FORCE LEGACY As I come to work each day, I pass a picture gallery of the former Commanders of Twentieth Air Force. From it, the faces of great leaders like Hap Arnold, Curtis LeMay, and Nathan Twining remind me of the rich heritage of this numbered air force. The great warfighting organization these magnificent Air Force pioneers organized and led during World War II lives on today as "America’s ICBM Team"--modern day professionals carrying on the legacy of air power excellence born in the South Pacific in 1944. We remain linked to the original Twentieth Air Force in many ways. Pictured are Lieutenant Fiske Hanley, WW II veteran, and Captain Keith McCartney, 341st Space Wing, Malmstrom AFB MT. They are past and present representatives of the thousands of courageous airmen who founded, formed and now carry on our superb legacy. Although separated by five decades of history, Hanley and McCartney understand full well how crucial their missions were, and now are to the security of America. They also share another important linkage in history. While Fiske Hanley’s Twentieth Air Force of 1945 employed nuclear weapons to stop a horrible world war, Captain Keith McCartney stands alert in today’s Capt Keith McCartney in command Twentieth Air Force committed to preventing war at a Minuteman III launch control through nuclear deterrence and professional stewardship console of America’s nuclear arsenal. With our legacy as a preface, I invite you to join me on a journey through Twentieth Air Force--from the South Pacific in 1944, to the ICBM fields of rural America today, and on to our bright future as a relevant and important part of America’s national security team.

    The 341St Missile Wing History

    341st Missile Wing History HISTORY OF THE 341 MISSILE WING World War II Bomb Group The 341st Missile Wing began as the 341st Bombardment Group (Medium) in the China-Burma- India (CBI) Theater of World War II. The Group was activated at Camp Malir in Karachi, India on 15 September 1942. The unit was one of the first bomber units in the CBI; being equipped with B-25 Mitchell medium bombers, which were shipped from the United States to Karachi. The aircraft were readied for flight operations by Air Technical Service Command at Karachi Air Depot and dispatched to Chakulia Airfield, now in Bangladesh in December. The group was formed with two bomb squadrons (11th, 22d) which had been attached to the 7th Bombardment Group since May 1942, and two newly activated squadrons (490th and 491st). The 11th Bomb Squadron was already in China, having flown combat missions with China Air Task Force since 1 July 1942. Planes and crews of the 22nd had been flying recon and tactical missions over north and central Burma, also since July. The group entered combat early in 1943 and operated chiefly against enemy transportation in central Burma until 1944. It bombed bridges, locomotives, railroad yards, and other targets to delay movement of supplies to the Japanese troops fighting in northern Burma. 341st Missile Wing History The 341st Bomb Group usually functioned as if it were two groups and for a time as three. Soon after its activation in September 1942, 341st Bomb Group Headquarters and three of its squadrons, the 22nd, 490th and 491st, were stationed and operating in India under direction of the Tenth Air Force, while the 11th squadron was stationed and operating in China under direction of the "China Air Task Force", which was later reorganized and reinforced to become the Fourteenth Air Force.

    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.

    F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE July 2020 90th Medical Group conducts mass COVID-19 testing Story and photos by Glenn S. Robertson “We are working to ensure full support of those personnel carrying out our no-fail mission.” Personnel arriving for testing first checked in with medical personnel at the base golf course, who verified their information and provided them with a sticker that would be placed on their testing kit. They were then directed to the clinic, where medical staff would conduct the actual test. All of this happened with troops never having to leave their vehicle. “We wanted to make this as efficient as possible for everyone,” said Knightner. “The actual testing process is not particularly pleasant, but we did try to ensure it had some conveniences for those getting tested.” Testing for COVID-19 involves the insertion of a swab deep into the nasal cavity, then rotating it to collect a sample – an uncomfortable proposition at best. “I’ve gone through this test three times Captain Hyun Yoon conducts a COVID-19 swab test May 20, 2020 at the base clinic on F.

Dedicated to the men and women of the USAF past, present, and future, it records significant events and achievements from 18 September 1947 through 9 April 1997. Since its establishment, the USAF has played a significant role in the events that have shaped modem history. Initially, the reassuring drone of USAF transports announced the aerial lifeline that broke the Berlin blockade, the Cold War’s first test of wills. In the tense decades that followed, the USAF deployed a strategic force of nuclear- capable intercontinental bombers and missiles that deterred open armed conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War’s deadly flash points, USAF jets roared through the skies of Korea and Southeast Asia, wresting air superiority from their communist opponents and bringing air power to the support of friendly ground forces. In the great global competition for the hearts and minds of the Third World, hundreds of USAF humanitarian missions relieved victims of war, famine, and natural disaster. The Air Force performed similar disaster relief services on the home front. Over Grenada, Panama, and Libya, the USAF participated in key contingency actions that presaged post-Cold War operations. In the aftermath of the Cold War the USAF became deeply involved in constructing a new world order. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, USAF flights succored the populations of the newly independent states.
