MacDill AFB honored local World War II veterans who participated in the D-Day invasion, a monumental turning point in World War II. MACDILL THUNDERBOLT u Thursday, June 13, 2019 u WWW.MACDILLTHUNDERBOLT.COM u 1 NEWS/FEATURES Chairman: Alliance building is a lesson of Normandy invasion by Jim Garamone Defence.gov The success of D-Day was the result of the co- operation among the wartime allies, and that is one of the lessons from Operation Overlord that still resounds today, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said. Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford spent the 75th D-Day anniversary June 6 paying respects to those wartime allies, meeting British, Canadian, Dutch and Norwegian D-Day veterans at ceremo- nies in Bayeux and Juno Beach, France. The 1944 landings at Omaha, Utah, Juno, Gold and Sword beaches and in drop zones in the area involved service members from 14 al- lied countries. The United States alone lost more than 6,000 service members that fateful day, but the allies had made the first breach in Hitler’s Atlantic Wall. In an interview in London, Dunford said watching the veterans placing memorial wreaths at the British memorial in the Bayeaux grave- yard was “particularly powerful.” The men — now Photo by Petty Officer 1st Class Dominique A. Pineiro in the mid-90s — were helping each other walk to the memorial and place their remembrances. Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, speaks with his British “You could see how meaningful it was for them to counterpart, Army Gen.

    SPRING 2015 - Volume 62, Number 1 WWW.AFHISTORICALFOUNDATION.ORG Call For Papers Violent Skies: The Air War Over Vietnam A Symposium Proposed for October 2015 Four military service historical foundations—the Air Force Historical Foundation, the Army Historical Foundation, the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, and the Naval Historical Foundation—recognize that a half century has passed since the United States became militarily engaged in Southeast Asia, and hope to sponsor a series of conferences involving scholars and veterans, aimed at exploring aspects and conse- quences of what once was known as America’s Longest War. For the first conference in the series, since all military services employed their combat aircraft capabilities in that conflict, the leaders of the four nonprofit organizations agree that the air war over Southeast Asia offers a compelling joint topic for reflective examination and discus- sion. The intent is to host a symposium on this subject in the national capital region on Thurs- day and Friday, October 15 and 16, 2015, potentially extending into Saturday, October 17. Other stakeholder organizations will be approached to join as co-sponsors of this event. The organizers of the symposium envision plenary and concurrent sessions to accommodate a wide va- riety of topics and issues. Panel participants will be allotted 20 minutes to present their research or discuss their experiences. A panel chair will be assigned to provide commentary and moderate discussion. Com- menters from academia, veterans, Vietnamese émigrés, and scholars from the region may be invited to pro- vide additional insights. Panel/Paper proposals may employ both chronological and topical approaches: Examples of chronological subjects can include: U.S.

    FOREWARD Your Air Force Reserve is a combat- ready force, composed of more than 70,000 proud reservists, stationed locally throughout the United States, serving globally for every Combatant Command around the world. We provide our Nation with operational capability, strategic depth and surge capacity whenever America needs us. We are an integrated Total Force partner in every Air Force core mission: Air and Space Superiority, Global Strike, Rapid Global Mobility, Intelligence, Surveillance, James F. Jackson, and Reconnaissance, and Command Lt Gen, USAF and Control. In an increasingly limited fiscal environment, reservists remain efficient and cost-effective solutions to our nation’s challenges. The majority of our Citizen Airmen serve part time, making us a highly efficient force, averaging about a third of the cost of active duty Airmen. Perhaps our greatest strength is we retain ‘Airmen for life,’ preserving the considerable investments and expertise of our Airmen beyond their Cameron B. Kirksey, active duty service. In times of crisis, we Command CMSgt can call upon our strategic depth of an additional 785,000 Airmen from the Individual Ready Reserve, Standby Reserve, Retired Reserve and Retired Active Duty. To meet future challenges, the Air Force Reserve works as a member of the “Total Force”, alongside active duty and Air National Guardsmen. This strong, three-component team is ready for combat or humanitarian relief operations worldwide. Since 2012, the Air Force Reserve can also be mobilized to respond to domestic requirements here at home. 01 Dual-use capabilities such as airlift, aeromedical evacuation and personnel recovery are equally valuable, both in-theater and for homeland support.
