  • Davis-Monthan Afb 1940 - 1976 Preface
    DAVIS-MONTHAN AFB 1940 - 1976 PREFACE This history, in its final form, is the result of almost three years of off-and-on effort on the part of this historian. It has had to be sandwiched in between the myriad taskings associated with three different assignments. It began at Davis-Monthan AFB in 1979 while assigned there as the historian for the 390th Strategic Missile Wing. My research notes and supporting documents came with me when I was subsequently transferred to the Headquarters SAC Office of the Historian and then later to the 4000th Satellite Operations Group at Offutt AFB, Nebraska. The need for a complete base history became painfully obvious as soon as I began my initial research. There was very little data available at Davis-Monthan AFB concerning the history of the installation; other than a few short Information Office history handouts of the type often given to newcomers and visitors. The majority of substantive material on base activities over the years had been lost as host units switched repeatedly throughout the station’s existence. Those units were subsequently inactiviated or transferred to other bases. Accordingly, the majority of material presented herein had to be obtained at the Albert F. Simpson Historical Research Center, Maxwell AFB, Alabama. Without the invaluable assistance of the many dedicated professionals at the Simpson Center, this history could never have been compiled. The transfer of Davis-Monthan AFB from the Strategic Air Command to the Tactical Air Command on 30 September 1976 ends the period of

UNIVERSITY OF MAINE WORLD WAR II IN MEMORIAM DEDICATION In this book are the records of those sons of Maine who gave their lives in World War II. The stories of their lives are brief, for all of them were young. And yet, behind the dates and the names of places there shines the record of courage and sacrifice, of love, and of a devotion to duty that transcends all thought of safety or of gain or of selfish ambition. These are the names of those we love: these are the stories of those who once walked with us and sang our songs and shared our common hope. These are the faces of our loved ones and good comrades, of sons and husbands. There is no tribute equal to their sacrifice; there is no word of praise worthy of their deeds.

  • National Guard and Reserve Equipment Report for FY2015
    NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015 (NGRER FY 2015) (In Accordance with Section 10541, Title 10, United States Code) March 2014 Prepared by Department of Defense Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Materiel and Facilities) COL Denise L. 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.
