Only two weeks later, they boarded a train for San Francisco on their way to Australia. Upon reaching Australia on the good ship "Maui" on March 6th, the Squadron awaited the arrival of its P-39s being sent from the States in crates. The Squadron's first combat mission was flown from Port Moresby, New Guinea, on July 22, as the unit provided air cover for B-25s striking convoys off Burma. The 80th scored its first victory on August 26, when it engaged and destroyed six enemy aircraft. In January 1943 the Squadron was reequipped with higher performance Lockheed P-38 Lightnings, which it flew for the rest of the war. The majority of the unit's missions consisted of light and medium bomber escort and ground support attacks. From its first combat base in New Guinea, the Squadron moved through Borneo, the Celebes Islands, East Indies, and the Philippines. From Christmas 1943 to Christmas 1944, the 80th was busy providing aerial defense for landings in the Philippines. The Squadron moved to Okinawa on August 29, 1944, and flew its first mission against the Japanese mainland on the following day.

  • Air Force Sexual Assault Court-Martial Summaries 2010 March 2015
    Air Force Sexual Assault Court-Martial Summaries 2010 March 2015 – The Air Force is committed to preventing, deterring, and prosecuting sexual assault in its ranks. This report contains a synopsis of sexual assault cases taken to trial by court-martial. The information contained herein is a matter of public record. This is the final report of this nature the Air Force will produce. All results of general and special courts-martial for trials occurring after 1 April 2015 will be available on the Air Force’s Court-Martial Docket Website (www.afjag.af.mil/docket/index.asp). SIGNIFICANT AIR FORCE SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE SUMMARIES 2010 – March 2015 Note: This report lists cases involving a conviction for a sexual assault offense committed against an adult and also includes cases where a sexual assault offense against an adult was charged and the member was either acquitted of a sexual assault offense or the sexual assault offense was dismissed, but the member was convicted of another offense involving a victim. The Air Force publishes these cases for deterrence purposes. Sex offender registration requirements are governed by Department of Defense policy in compliance with federal and state sex offender registration requirements. Not all convictions included in this report require sex offender registration. Beginning with July 2014 cases, this report also indicates when a victim was represented by a Special Victims’ Counsel. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, sexual assaults against those 16 years of age and older are charged as crimes against adults. The appropriate disposition of sexual assault allegations and investigations may not always include referral to trial by court-martial.

  • 1 17A Stealth Fighter Organizations
    HISTORY AND LINEAGE OF THE F- 1 17A STEALTH FIGHTER ORGANIZATIONS DECEMBER 1991 SPECIAL STUDY HO-91-2 OFFICE OF HIST RY HEADQUARTERS, 37TH FPGHTER WING TWELFTH AIR FORCE TACTICAL AIR COMMAND INTRODUCTION In 1978, the Air Force awarded a full-scale development contract for the F-117A Stealth Fighter to Lockheed Corporation's Advanced Development Projects (the famous Skunk Works). Thirty- one months later, on 18 June 1981, the F-117A made its first flight. Meanwhile, the Tactical Air Command (TAC) decided to set up a group-level organization to guide the F-117A to an initial operating capability. That organization became the 4450th Tactical Group (TG), which officially activated on 15 October 1979 at Nellis AFB, Nevada. The 4450 TG began flying operations in 1981 from the Tonopah Test Range Airfield, located approximately 130 miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. Lockheed test pilots put the Stealth Fighter through its early paces. The 4450 TG also operated the A-7D as a surrogate trainer for the F-l17A, and these operations continued until 15 October 1982 under the guise of an avionics test mis- sion. October 15th is important to the program because on that date Maj Alton C. Whitley, Jr. became the first 4450 TG pilot to fly the F-117A. The 4450 TG then achieved an initial operating capability with the F-117A in October 1983. The 4450 TG's mission continued to evolve under a cloak of secrecy--all Tonopah training flights conducted at night under the cover of darkness--until late 1988. On 10 November 1988, the Air Force brought the F-117A from behind a "black veil" by publicly acknowledging its existence.

These challenges system, with sustainment costs alone are largely the result of sustainment plans that do not fully include key estimated at more than $1 trillion over requirements or aligned (timely and sufficient) funding. DOD is taking steps to a 60-year life cycle.

  • DOD Is Beefing up Operations at Andersen Air Force Base and Throughout the Marianas
    ccess is the name of the game for security in the Pacific. For airmen, this access hinges on Guam. Guam is an American pos- session—US soil. While there are many other desirable bas- Aing locations in the western Pacific, Guam—nearly 220 square miles of sov- ereign American territory about 3,900 miles west of Hawaii—is the only one where basing rights will never be an issue. Andersen Air Force Base, at the north- ern tip of the island, is a historic instal- lation. The main runway is famous for its dip in the center, an ocean cliff at the end, and its white color—radiating from crushed coral mixed in the concrete. Andersen hosted US combat aircraft in World War II and throughout the Vietnam War and the Cold War. For the last 10 years, USAF has been increasing its presence on Guam. So has the Navy, which homeports submarines there, and plans call for some Marine Corps aviation and ground units from Okinawa to move to a new home on the island. The strategic importance of Guam extends to other territories in the Marianas island chain such as Tinian and Saipan. President Obama’s Asia-Pacific rebal- ance leans heavily on Guam for access, transient staging, and presence. “What many people do not realize is that it sits at the tip of the spear for the defense of our nation and is woven into the strategic fabric of the Pacific theater,” noted Rep. Solomon Ortiz (D- Tex.) in 2009. The Guam Hub Before airpower, the Northern Mari- anas were the site of Spanish imperial stopovers and Japanese occupation.
