Download or read book Call Sign Dustoff a History of U S Army Aeromedical Evacuation from Conception to Hurricane Katrina Covering MEDEVAC Air Ambulance MAST Korea Vietnam War Persian Gulf War Afghanistan Iraq written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exceptional book tells the story of DUSTOFF from its conception. It reviews its development and use in both Korea and Vietnam, but focuses on the post-Vietnam years that saw almost constant transformation of unit structure, doctrine and structural command and control, and the development and adaptation of new aircraft and lifesaving equipment. It also chronicles the transfer of the MEDEVAC units from medical to aviation control, a most traumatic event that presented the MEDEVAC community with another set of challenges.What held steadfast through these times of change was the immutable fact that brave American Warriors on the battlefield executed the nation's wars with the faith that comes from knowing that should they become casualties, the DUSTOFF crews would come. Their heroic efforts were recognized during our nation's military missions in Panama, Desert Storm, Provide Comfort, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq; the almost continuous support for MAST operations across the nation; and innumerable responses to domestic crises, Hurricane Katrina most prominent among them. Theirs is a stellar legacy, one well recognized and now, well recorded.PART ONE - Fulfilling a Need: From Conception to Combat * Chapter One - An Honorable Heritage * Chapter Two - From Korea through Vietnam * PART TWO - Domestic Duties & Contingency Operations * Chapter Three - Quiet Years, 1973-1980 * Chapter Four - New Challenges: Near and Afar, 1981-1990 * PART THREE - An Angry Decade * Chapter Five - Desert Shield/Desert Storm, 1990-1991 * Chapter Six - Force Reductions, 1992-1995 * Chapter Seven - The Balkans, 1992-Ongoing * PART FOUR - Into the Millennium: New Challenges, at Home and Abroad * Chapter Eight - To 9/11, 2000-2001 * Chapter Nine - Again, Into Battle, 2001-2003 * Chapter Ten - Aviation Transformation and Domestic Operations, 2002-2005 * Chapter Eleven - Warriors of Compassion * APPENDICES * A: List of MEDEVAC Units * B: Typical History of an ARNG MEDEVAC Unit * C: MEDEVAC Losses Post-Vietnam Era through Operation IRAQI FREEDOM 1 * Abbreviations and Acronyms

Download or read book Air Power and the Ground War in Vietnam written by Donald J. Mrozek and published by The Minerva Group, Inc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Donald J. Mrozeks research sheds considerable light on how the use of air power evolved in the Vietnam War. Much more than simply retelling events, Mrozek analyzes how history, politics, technology, and the complexity of the war drove the application of air power in a long and divisive struggle. Mrozek delves into a wealth of original documentation, and his scholarship is impeccable. His analysis is thorough and balanced. His conclusions are well reasoned but will trouble those who have never seriously considered how the application of air power is influenced by factors far beyond the battlefield. Wether or not the reader agrees with Mrozek, the quality of his research and analysis makes his conclusions impossible to ignore. John C. Fryer, Jr. Brigadier General, United States Air Force Commander, Center for Aerospace Doctrine, Research and Education
