AIR NATIONAL GUARD FISCAL YEAR 2021 (FY21) ANG SQUADRON COMMANDER’S COURSE (SCC) ANNOUNCEMENT Professional development for our officers is extremely important, and ANG leadership is committed to providing quality educational opportunities to meet the developmental needs of our rising leaders. The FY21 ANG Squadron Commander’s Course (SCC) dates are: - 19-23 July 2021 - 20-24 September 2021 Due to ongoing COVID restrictions at the ANG Readiness Center and in the DC area, we will conduct the SCC for FY21 only at the Gulfport Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC), which is adjacent to the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport in Gulfport, MS. Overview: The SCC is designed for Squadron / Flight Commanders currently occupying a command billet on the Unit Manning Document or those officers projected for command in the near future. ANG O-2s to O-6s may attend; the majority of attendees are at the O-4/O-5 level. The course provides an opportunity for you to share leadership experiences and issues that affect the Commander each day. SCC is conducted ‘by the Field, for the Field’ and supports the basic premise of “what I wish I had known before assuming command.” You will explore proven leadership tenets, interact with seasoned ANG commanders and receive the most current information affecting today’s Airmen. Course Length: Class begins Monday at 1600L to allow for travel Monday morning. You should plan to arrive by mid-afternoon of the class start date. Graduation will take place at approximately 1230L on Friday, allowing for an evening air or auto travel return to home station for most students. Funding: This is a unit-funded class and students may attend in any type of TDY status. Registration: Base Education and Training Managers or Force Support Squadron (FSS) Superintendents will submit requests through MILPDS and NGB-HRT will issue Training Line Numbers (TLN). You will receive an email from the SCC staff with reporting instructions approximately one month prior to class start date. COVID Mitigation. Due to uncertainty regarding COVID-19 risk mitigation measures that may be in place at the time of course execution, SCC may be executed with limited in-person and virtual attendance or 100% virtual attendance. In addition, we will have fewer course offerings in FY21 and hold these later in the FY to maximize the possibility of in-person attendance. We will make a decision regarding the course execution format no later than approximately three weeks before the course start date for each course. Contacting the SCC Staff: If you have questions about the course, please contact the Course Administer, Maj Ashley Gray, at DSN 828-8045 or [email protected] or the Course Director, Col Travis Walters, at DSN 954-3381 or [email protected].

Order of Service for a Service of Thanksgiving
Westminster Abbey A Service of Thanksgiving and Rededication to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain Sunday 20th September 2020 11.00 am HISTORICAL NOTE This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the first decisive Battle in history fought entirely in the air. Battle of Britain Sunday commemorates a dramatic turning point in both the Battle itself, and the history of the Second World War. The German objective in the summer of 1940 was to eliminate the Royal Air Force, both in the air and on the ground, in order to obtain air superiority in preparation for a potential seaborne and airborne invasion. Operating principally from airfields in France and Belgium, the Luftwaffe began their first heavy onslaught early in July 1940, directed against British shipping and the Channel ports. The intent behind this first phase of the battle was not only to sink shipping but also to draw the Royal Air Force into combat and wear down its strength. The second phase, from 8th to 18th August, consisted of intensive day operations against coastal radar stations and fighter airfields. The third phase began after a five-day lull due to poor weather, with attacks on fighter airfields in the London area and increased night attacks on Britain’s cities. The first daylight assault on London was made on 7th September and marked the beginning of the fourth phase, lasting most of that month, during which the capital became the Luftwaffe’s primary target. These attacks, although serious in themselves, brought vital relief to the fighter airfields, which until that time had been under considerable pressure.

This Index Lists the Army Units for Which Records Are Available at the Eisenhower Library
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. ARMY: Unit Records, 1917-1950 Linear feet: 687 Approximate number of pages: 1,300,000 The U.S. Army Unit Records collection (formerly: U.S. Army, U.S. Forces, European Theater: Selected After Action Reports, 1941-45) primarily spans the period from 1917 to 1950, with the bulk of the material covering the World War II years (1942-45). The collection is comprised of organizational and operational records and miscellaneous historical material from the files of army units that served in World War II. The collection was originally in the custody of the World War II Records Division (now the Modern Military Records Branch), National Archives and Records Service. The material was withdrawn from their holdings in 1960 and sent to the Kansas City Federal Records Center for shipment to the Eisenhower Library. The records were received by the Library from the Kansas City Records Center on June 1, 1962. Most of the collection contained formerly classified material that was bulk-declassified on June 29, 1973, under declassification project number 735035. General restrictions on the use of records in the National Archives still apply. The collection consists primarily of material from infantry, airborne, cavalry, armor, artillery, engineer, and tank destroyer units; roughly half of the collection consists of material from infantry units, division through company levels. Although the collection contains material from over 2,000 units, with each unit forming a separate series, every army unit that served in World War II is not represented. Approximately seventy-five percent of the documents are from units in the European Theater of Operations, about twenty percent from the Pacific theater, and about five percent from units that served in the western hemisphere during World War II.
