A Synthesis of Archaeological Studies on the Utah Test and Training Range

This report, conducted by Statistical Research, Inc., under contract with the National Park Service, is a synthesis of research to date on the prehistoric and historical archaeology of the Utah Testing and Training Range, two U.S. Air Force training ranges under the jurisdiction of Hill Air Force Base. Results are presented in eight chapters. Topics include present and past environments, paleontological resources, a cultural-historical overview, previous research in the project area (including information on all archaeological resources known as of October 1998), and Native American concerns. This synthesis is used as the backdrop for a brief research design for both prehistoric and historicalperiod cultural resources. Salient prehistoric contexts include settlement and land use, cultural affiliation, lithic technology, and the evolution of Great Basin ceramic traditions. Historical themes include ranching, mining, transportation, Native American-Euroamerican interactions, government campaigns and exploration, Mormon settlement, and World War II-era use of the region. The report concludes with management recommendations. A glossary of key terms and an annotated references-cited section are also included. A popular version of this report is also available

U.S. Air Force Long-Range Strike Aircraft White Paper

As a result of DoD transformation plans and recent operational experience (Air War Over Serbia and Operation ENDURING FREEDOM) portions of the 1999 U.S. Air Force White Paper on Long Range Bombers have become outmoded. In October 2001, the Secretary of the Air Force directed an updated Long-Range Strike Aircraft White Paper incorporating our new defense planning guidance. This document provides an update to the 1999 White Paper and reflects current decisions concerning bomber force structure and basing. While modification plans remain largely intact, the focus has been refined to support the Global Strike Task Force concept

Welcome to Dow Air Force Base 1954

Provides an overview of Dow Air Force Base for members of the 506th Strategic Fighter Wing. Includes a roster of key personnel on the base. The 506th Strategic Fighter Wing was activated at Daw Air Force Base on 25 January 1953. The 4009th Air Base Squadron which had been responsible for the operation of Dow Air Force Base prior to the activation of the 506th Strategic Fighter Wing, was redesignated and implemented as the 506th Air Base Group, and 506th Medical Group. Also assigned, for administrative purposes, was the 33rd Crash Boat Rescue Flight at Southwest Harbor, Maine. The Wing was assigned F-84G type aircraft and placed in a training status. The pilots assigned were mostly recent graduates together with some combat Korean returnees. An intensive training program was initiated to raise the combat potential of all concerned. Beginning 19 July 1953, the 506th Strategic Fighter Wing left for a three-month TDY tour in Japan. Upon arrival in FEAF, the primary mission of the Wing was the Air Defense of Northern Japan; however, combat crew training of all crews in the Wing continued. On 7 November 1953, after 90 days TDY, the Wing was relieved by the 31st Strategic Fighter Wing of Turner Air Force Base, Georgia, to return to Dow Air Force Base. On the 15th of January 1954, the Wing became the first operational unit in the Air Force to receive the new F-84F Silverstreak Jets. These new Republic Aircraft replaced the F-84G, Thunderjet, and Dow was termed as the Proving Ground for this new aircraft.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/dow_books/1007/thumbnail.jp

592nd Technical School Squadron, Gulfport Field, Army Air Forces Training Command

Basic Training Center No. 11 was activated at Gulfport Field on July 14, 1943. The center was in full operation by the time it was formally established. Raw recruits were being received in a steady flow from reception centers. The Basic Training Center takes the recruits, lectures them on military customs and courtesy, on basic military principles and rules. These men are taught to drill. They become soldiers. During his stay in the Basic Training Center, every phase of the recruit\u27s civilian life is studied. His education, his civilian background, his aptitude for specific types of work-all are closely examined. His military classification is then determined after a study of these factors and in almost every instance the recruit\u27s preference coincides with the scientific determination of his abilities. Gulfport Field is located along the coastal plain of the Gulf of Mexico. Here, beneath the semi-tropical sun of one of the nation\u27s most famous resort areas, students and permanent party men alike divide their time with duty, recreation and physical training. Men who guide the destiny of Gulfport Field realize that soundness of body is essential to an alert, active life. Drill and calisthenics keep muscles toned and provide a refreshing change from the long hours of duty.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/ww_reg_his/1207/thumbnail.jp
