Their idea came to fruition in 1962 when MATS held its first airdrop training competition. For the next several years the competition remained an annual event, but it fell by the wayside during the years of the United States' most intense participation in the Southeast Asia conflict. The airdrop competitions were reinstated in 1969 but were halted again in 1973, because of budget cuts and the reduced emphasis being given to airdrop operations. However, the esprit de corps engendered among the troops and the training benefits derived from the earlier events were not forgotten and prompted the competition's renewal in 1979 in its present form. Since 1979 the Rodeos have remained an important training event and tactical evaluation exercise for the Military Airlift Command. The following historical study deals with the origins, evolution, and results of the tactical airlift competitions in MATS and MAC.

With the expert help of the Ohio Edison Company, we have prepared this binder and video to show the 910 Airlift Wing as a vital part of the Air Force Reserve, for today and for the future. The 910 Airlift Wing has a rich tradition of "going the extra mile" to get the job done. Through our community involvement program, we have developed a reputation as good, responsible citizens. The awards and accolades this unit has received and its esprit de corps is a testimony to the dedication, hard work and professionalism of its people. We have tried to capture in this book the responsibility and vision with which we have pursued our goals over the years. We hope these illustrations we have prepared are clear and concise so as to assist the commission in resolving a difficult situation in a fair and equitable manner. If you need any additional information, we will be happy to provide it. Sincerely, BERNARD J.

Loring, Editor Washington, DC 20301-1500 The estimated cost of this report for the Department of Defense is approximately $292,000 in Fiscal Years 2013–2014. Generated on 2014Feb28 RefID: 0-43F5A8A OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE 1500 DEFENSE PENTAGON WASHINGTON, DC 20301-1500 FOREWORD The Reserve Component (RC) allows for expanded capacity and capability as a cost-effective part of the Total Force with global reach and flexibility. Since 2001, the RC has supported more than 875,000 mobilizations worldwide. Budgetary pressures will continue to require astute management of reduced resources to mitigate their effects. The RC provides capability and capacity at a reduced cost in a time of funding reductions across all components. The RC, when integrated as part of the operational force during armed conflict and peacetime, provides for a cost-effective force mix at acceptable levels of risk to support the defense strategy. The RC equipment levels are at some of the highest levels in history; however this era of postwar fiscal reductions will bring significant equipping challenges over the next several years. The Department has made strides in enhancing equipment transparency and accountability, but has not yet attained transparency into the Services procurement and distribution processes and outcomes. The Department must explore other options, such as separating the RC procurement funding, to meet the intent of the Commission on the National Guard and Reserve initiatives on equipping inadequacies between Active Component (AC) and RC.
