Box 518 Altus, OK 73522 November 20, 2015 Dear Dr. Leverett, The past year was a promising one for Spokane’s relationship with Fairchild Air Force Base. We were awarded $2.2 million to purchase land in the Accident Potential Zone to further protect the base from encroachment. Through advocacy, the Air Force Water Survival Training program was relocated from Pensacola to the 336th Training Group at Fairchild Air Force Base. Additionally, the Spokane region was proud to host the AETC Civic Leaders visit at Fairchild in September 2015. As Greater Spokane Incorporated supports the nomination of the City of Spokane and Fairchild Air Force Base for the 2015 Altus Trophy, we do so after working tirelessly to protect and support the base. We fought for MILCON to modernize many of the survival school buildings. GSI’s committee, Forward Fairchild, works to bring key community stakeholders together to advocate for the preservation of future mission potential of Fairchild Air Force Base. This past year has focused on protecting the base from future encroachments and was rewarded with funds from the state of Washington to remove an encroachment in the APZ-2 area. GSI also has a leadership role in the Washington Military Alliance. Governor Jay Inslee recently authorized this group that represents all of the military communities across the state. The organization advocates on behalf of military base needs at a state level. GSI is well represented in this group by Robin Toth, VP Business Development, and Rich Hadley, GSI President Emeritus. Spokane has excellent schools, a beautiful natural environment, and unprecedented community collaboration. On September 11, 2015 the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena broke ground on a new monument, Illuminating Courage. Illuminating Courage was dedicated on Veterans Day 2015 to the soldiers from our region that have fallen since September 11, 2001. The new memorial is a beacon of support from the Spokane community to the many that have so proudly served our country. With the challenges forced by the U.S. Air Force strict budget reductions and down-sizing, it is important for local communities to step-up to understand and to partner. Our nomination packet explains this community partnership well. Sincerely, Alisha Benson Interim CEO VP, Education & Workforce Executive Director, Spokane STEM Greater Spokane Incorporated – Creating Something Greater for the Spokane region since 1881 www.greaterspokane.org | www.facebook.com/greaterspokane | www.twitter.com/greaterspokane Forward Fairchild In concert with Fairchild Air Force Base, the Spokane Region is a full partner in the growth and vitality of the Inland Northwest to achieve the strategic goals and ensure the success of the key missions of the US Air Force in our area. The purpose of Forward Fairchild is to defend and advocate for Fairchild Air Force Base. The group engages the community in support of the region’s number one employer and works with the base to advocate for infrastructure priorities. Forward Fairchild, established in 2003 as a permanent committee of Greater Spokane Incorporated, works diligently to protect Fairchild AFB to secure future growth. Business, government, and citizens work together to support the missions and people of the Air Force. The committee’s work primarily focuses on advocacy to support the current and future mission potential of the base. This past year Forward Fairchild has focused on protecting Fairchild Air Force Base from future encroachments including a proposed casino project that would like directly in the training flight path of the base. Additionally, Forward Fairchild has successfully secured funding from Washington State to purchase property that lies within the Accident Prevention Zone – 2 (APZ- 2) to remove an existing encroachment that was identified in the JLUS process. This committee was able to advocate for the relocation of the Water Survival School from Pensacola, Florida to Fairchild Air Force Base. The relocation of this survival school streamlines the process for the Air Force, reduces expenses for the USAF by more than $4.6 million and strengthens the AETC mission of the base. Additionally, Forward Fairchild continues to advocate for the siting of the KC-46A at Fairchild Air Force Base.

Box518 Altus, OK 73522 Dear Dr. Leverett: The Spokane County Board of Commissioners is pleased to offer a letter of support to accompany the application for the Altus Trophy recognizing the great connection between the Spokane Community and the AETC Survival School at Fairchild Air Force Base. Spokane County strives to work closely with and support Fairchild Air Force Base in every way possible. This relationship started in 1942 and is even stronger today. The Board of County Commissioners recognizes the tremendous benefit that Fairchild offers the area; this is a responsibility that we never take lightly. We show our hometown heroes our admiration through many different award winning programs. One such program is the Armed Forces & Aerospace Museum; this museum is an effort to replace the former Fairchild Heritage Museum. This non-profit group is made up of dedicated individuals, both military and civilian; they have been working to preserve the region's rich military history. Spokane County is a proud financial supporter assisting this hard working non-profit group We also honor our Airman with the annual Armed Forces Torchlight parade held in downtown Spokane, last years parade drew over 15,000 participants, and is the largest such parade in the United States. Spokane County also worked tirelessly to acquire and support the opening of the Eastern Washington's Veterans Cemetery which will insure a final resting place for those who have sacrificed their lives so all would enjoy the freedoms we have. Spokane County has a strong working relationship with Fairchild, primarily focused on transportation issues that affect the mission of the base. Spokane County removed and relocated the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail line

The move, the service said, “incurs some risk.” Air Force officials insist, however, that any risk “will be mitigated by mod- ernizing the remaining B-1 aircraft.” Service officials wanted to make the B-1 cuts last year, but that plan was thwarted by a Senate budget amendment that prohibited using 2001 funds for that purpose.

You now have a program. We designed this Historical Handbook of National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Leaders as a useful reference work for anyone who needs fundamental information on the leaders of the NGA. We have included those colleagues over the years who directed the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) and the component agencies and services that came together to initiate NGA-NIMA history in 1996. The NGA History Program Staff did not celebrate these individuals in this setting, although in reading any of these short biographies you will quickly realize that we have much to celebrate. Rather, this practical book is designed to permit anyone to reach back for leadership information to satisfy any personal or professional requirement from analysis, to heritage, to speechwriting, to retirement ceremonies, to report composition, and on into an endless array of possible tasks that need support in this way. We also intend to use this book to inform the public, especially young people and students, about the nature of the people who brought NGA to its present state of expertise.
