  • Compilation | Coronavirus 12-13 May 2020 As of 1630
    COMPILATION | CORONAVIRUS 12-13 MAY 2020 AS OF 1630 Overview: Driving coverage was Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s warning that the U.S. could suffer a long, painful downturn if Congress does not provide more economic relief to prevent a wave of bankruptcies and prolonged joblessness. There was also substantial coverage of the warning from the FBI and DHS that Chinese and Iranian hackers are targeting U.S. organizations conducting COVID-19-related vaccine research. Leading defense-related coverage was U.S. Army Europe’s announcement that Exercise Allied Spirit with Poland will take place in June. The announcement of U.S.-Polish training exercise Allied Spirit was covered primarily in defense outlets, which reported on resuming allied exercises following the “pandemic pause” (AFP), and noted the Army’s statements that it plans to take precautionary measures against the virus. The exercise, which will involve 6,000 U.S. and Polish troops, was to be part of the division-scale DEFENDER Europe exercise before it was canceled earlier this year due to the coronavirus, according to several outlets. USAREUR said that many of the strategic readiness goals had been achieved by the time the drills were halted, but that future European exercises are being discussed with objectives similar to those initially planned, Army Times reported. Other DoD-related news: • Pres. Trump plans to name the head of U.S. Army Materiel Command Gen. Gustave Perna and former GlaxoSmithKline executive Moncef Slaoui to lead Operation Warp Speed, described by Bloomberg as a “Manhattan Project-style effort” to develop a COVID-19 vaccine.

Benjamin Franklin considered the possibility of using balloons in warfare in 1783, only days after the first successful hot-air balloon flights in France. John Sherburne, frustrated by the Army’s ineffectiveness during the Seminole War of 1840, proposed using balloons for observation above the wilderness that hid the adversary. John Wise, dismayed by the prospects of a long and costly siege of Veracruz during the Mexican War, suggested using bal- loons in 1846 for bombing defending forces, three years before Austria actually did so against Venice. John LaMountain and Thaddeus Lowe successfully launched manned reconnaissance balloons in support of Union operations during the American Civil War. In late June 1861 Lowe’s map of Confederate positions in Falls Church, Virginia, was the first significant contribution of manned flight to American warfare, although the Union lost the battle at Bull Run in July. The map allowed Lowe to report after the battle that the Confederates were not advancing on Washington.

The inspiration for attempting this occurred several years earlier when a colleague informed me of letters written by former students serving in the military during World War II to Dr. Lauren Post (right), a popular geography professor and football coach. Post’s brainchild was a newsletter, the only one of its kind in the nation, that was distributed worldwide and kept this group of alumni in contact with one another and with those left behind on the homefront. It is the often poignant, deliberately understated experiences told in the letters by young men and women, many of whom soon perished, that demands a retelling to this and future generations. Early in the project, I began to investigate the lives of a few of the fallen heroes listed on the university’s war monument in order to have some examples to cite in an essay, but as I looked closely at the abbreviated life of one deceased person after another the more I was fascinated with each of them as individuals.

  • The History of the 6Th Air Commando Squadron 1967 to 1969
    WINGS AND WRENCHES: THE HISTORY OF THE 6 TH AIR COMMANDO SQUADRON 1967 TO 1969 A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of History East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History By Arthur R. Halliday July 2010 Abstract WINGS AND WRENCHES: THE HISTORY OF THE 6 TH AIR COMMANDO SQUADRON 1967 TO 1969 By Arthur R. Halliday July 2010 This thesis examines the history of a United States Air Force fighter squadron created during the Vietnam War. It focuses on the circumstances prior to the squadron’s creation, the selection of what was considered to be an obsolete propeller driven aircraft, the teamwork established between the men who flew the aircraft into war, and those who provided round-the- clock maintenance support seven days a week. The demands of fighting a counter-insurgency war placed unforeseen pressure and unexpected calls for close air support for friendly ground forces engaged with a determined enemy. The study of the 6 th Air Commando Squadron during the Vietnam War is an excellent example of how the American military adapted to a tasking for which it had not planned for. It brings insight into the success of the American individual and the concept of teamwork. By understanding the 6 th Air Commando Squadron and its accomplishments during the Vietnam War, an understanding can be gained on how important teamwork is to success.
