Approved for public release: distribution unlimited. (This Page Intentionally Left Blank.) ii PREFACE The Air Force Materiel Command Environmental Office requested that AFRLIHEST review the archived records for each of the current Air Force Materiel Command bases and determine the possibility of the presence of residual biological warfare/chemical warfare (BW/CW) agents, munitions, and training devices on the bases. Thirteen Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) bases were identified for review. The United States Air Force (USAF) BW/CW program activities of interest occurred during the time frame of 1948 through 1970. AFRLIHEST tasked Simulation Technologies, Inc. (STI) through an existing contract (Delivery Order 0006 under contract F41624-97 -D-6002) to execute the effort. Mrs. Karen Unfried, Research Analyst, STI, and Mr. Tom Collins, Consultant, STI, conducted the investigations and analyses for this project. Ms. Joyce Jackson of STI did the editing, word processing, and assembly of the final reports. iii LIST OF ACRONYMS AAF Army Air Forces ABG Air Base Group ABM Aberdeen Bombing Mission ACC Army Chemical Center ADTC Armament Development and Test Center AEDC Arnold Engineering Development Center AEDC Air

  • Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Was a Key Strategic Decision
    Welcome Letter Dear Community Leader: When we started the Dayton Region Community Leader Washington Fly-In more than three decades ago, we never imagined a global pandemic like COVID-19 would shut down daily life and keep us from gathering in D.C. In the Dayton Region, our strength has always been our ability to collaborate, our willing- ness to innovate, and our drive to get things done. In that spirit, we decided to adapt this year’s Fly-In into a virtual format. Even with the limitations of social distancing, we have the resilience and flexibility to continue our unbroken Fly-In tradition. We take great pride in how business, government, academia, and the non-profit sector come together to support our region and “speak with one voice.” We see the Fly-In as this collaborative idea come to life. When our community leaders converge on Washington, it sends a powerful message. That unity and strength is even more important as we face the current situation. We may not be able to connect in person, but we can still send a powerful message. When the DDC began 25 years ago, supporting Wright-Patterson Air Force Base was a key strategic decision. We’ve seen the base’s workforce grow significantly in that time and increase contracts with local companies. We remain focused on the Dayton Region’s federal installations, including the Springfield Air National Guard Base and the Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center in addition to Wright-Patt. These installations have a combined regional annual economic impact of more than $16 billion and represent stable generators of jobs and economic development even during difficult times.
