Military applications emerged fairly early in the infancy of aviation, in the form of first trials to establish the superiority of the third dimension over the battlefield. Well- known examples include the balloon reconnaissance efforts made in France even before the birth of the aircraft, and it was not long before the first generation of flimsy, underpowered aircraft were being tested in a military environment. The Italians used aircraft for reconnaissance missions at Tripoli in 1910-1912, and the Americans made their first attempts at taking air power to sea as early as 1910-1911. -

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. -
