Jacob Morgan 21st Space Wing Public Affairs PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — April was designated the Month of the Military Child by Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger in 1986, recog- nizing the contribution the military child makes as their parent or parents serve in the armed forces. Military children may face several obstacles growing up including frequent moves, family separations and rein- tegration issues. Peterson AFB honors the sacrifices made by thousands of military children here by holding several events each year during the month of April. “Our children are our true heroes,” said Dorothy Choate, 21st Force Support Squadron Airman and Family Services Flight chief. “They sacrifice daily solely based upon the choices their parents made. They maintain a significant commitment to their families and the military way of life. That is why it’s important to recognize the contribution of military children alongside (U.S. Air Force photo/Dennis Howk) See Child page 11 PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Airman 1st Class Rodolfo Amaya, 21st Civil Engineer Squadron fire protection technician, helps Jason Long spray a fire hose at the Peterson Child Development Center April 15.

    The Cold War and Beyond

    Contents Puge FOREWORD ...................... u 1947-56 ......................... 1 1957-66 ........................ 19 1967-76 ........................ 45 1977-86 ........................ 81 1987-97 ........................ 117 iii Foreword This chronology commemorates the golden anniversary of the establishment of the United States Air Force (USAF) as an independent service. 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.
