June 30, 2004 Mr. Albert F. Lowas Jr., Director Mr. Wayne Miller, Chairman of the Board Air Force Real Property Agency England Economic and Industrial AFRPA/DR Development District 1700 N. Moore St., Ste 2300 1611 Arnold Drive Arlington, VA 2209-2802 Alexandria, LA 71303-5636 Dear Messrs. Lowas and Miller: The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) and United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 together have determined that a portion of the former England Air Force Base, Alexandria, is Ready for Reuse. We congratulate you on this noteworthy accomplishment! Each agency would like to express their deepest appreciation to the Air Force Real Property Agency (AFRPA), and the England Economic and Industrial Development District (EEIDD), for their cooperation. A Ready for Reuse Determination is an acknowledgment by both agencies that environmental conditions on the property are protective of human health and the environment based on its current and anticipated future use. The subject of this Ready for Reuse Determination is the expanded golf course that encompasses a portion of the former England Air Force base. The Oakwing Golf Club is a public eighteen-hole course located along the scenic banks of Bayou Rapides and Bayou Le Tig. The expanded golf course is comprised of approximately 220 acres. Additionally, the course is a member of the prestigious “Audubon Golf Trail” and has recently completed construction of a new state-of-the-art clubhouse. One of the common goals of EEIDD, AFRPA, LDEQ, and EPA Region 6, is to make use of assets of the former base to offset the local economic impact of closure of the base. -

FFoorrtt DDrruumm EEccoonnoommiicc IImmppaacctt SSttaatteemmeenntt FFYY9988 HISTORY OF FORT DRUM Fort Drum has been used as a military training site since 1908, however the Army's presence in the North Country may be traced back to the early 1800's. In 1809 a company of infantry soldiers was stationed at Sackets Harbor to enforce the Embargo Act and control smuggling between northern New York and Canada. Following the outbreak of the War of 1812, Sackets Harbor became the center of United States Naval and military activity for the Upper St. Lawrence River Valley and Lake Ontario. During the 1830's and 40's, the Patriots War in Canada prompted a new round of military preparations and Madison Barracks became the home of artillery units. Learning that the War Department was looking for areas in northern New York to train the troops, the Watertown Chamber of Commerce proposed the Army establish a training area on 10,000 acres of land along the Black River in the vicinity of Felts Mills, Great Bend and the village of Black River. In 1908, Brigadier General Frederick Dent Grant, son of General Ulysses S. Grant, was sent here with 2,000 regulars and 8,000 militia. He found Pine Plains to be an ideal place to train troops. The following year money was allocated to purchase the land and summer training continued here through the years. The camp's first introduction to the national spotlight came in 1935 when the largest peacetime maneuvers were held on Pine Plains and surrounding farmlands. Thirty-six thousand, five hundred soldiers came from throughout the Northeast to take part in the exercise. -

Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances Mckenney, Assistant Managing Editor
Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances McKenney, Assistant Managing Editor The peace following World War II was short- lived. Soviet forces never went home, kept occupied areas under domination, and threatened free nations worldwide. By 1946, Winston Churchill had declared, “An iron curtain has descended across the conti- nent.” Thus began a 45-year struggle between the diametrically opposed worldviews of the US and the Soviet Union. In 1948, the USSR cut off land access to free West Berlin, launch- ing the first major “battle” of the Cold War: the Berlin Airlift. Through decades of changes in strategy, tactics, locations, and technology, the Air Force was at the forefront. The Soviet Union was contained, and eventually, freedom won out. Bentwaters. Bitburg. Clark. Loring. Soes- terberg. Suwon. Wurtsmith—That so many Cold War bases are no longer USAF instal- lations is a tribute to how the airmen there did their jobs. While with the 333rd Tactical Fighter Training Squadron at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., in 1975, Capt. Thomas McKee asked a friend to take this “hero shot” of him with an A-7. McKee flew the Corsair II as part of Tactical Air Command, at Myrtle Beach AFB, S.C. He was AFA National President and Chairman of the Board (1998-2002). Assigned to the 1st Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron, Beale AFB, Calif., RSO Maj. Thomas Veltri (right) and Maj. Duane Noll prepare for an SR-71 mission from RAF Mildenhall, UK, in the mid- 1980s.
