Winnersville Range - Range Complex/Impact Area/Airspace


Book Description

The purpose of this action is to provide an air-to-ground gunnery range in the immediate geographical area of Moody AFB to provide the required training for combat readiness, thus allowing the 347 TFW to better and more economically accomplish its Air Force mission. This action should have little, if any, environmental impact. The property is currently owned by the U.S. Government (Department of Agriculture-U.S. Forest Service) and is overflown by Moody Air Force Base aircraft in their air traffic patterns. The proposed restricted area extends from Moody Air Force Base to an existing military airspace training area (MOA-2) and thus will afford an opportunity for very realistic training scenarios. The closeness to Moody will save dollars, conserve resources, and provide the opportunity to more than double the training time. The environmental assessment indicates no significant adverse impacts to the proposed area other than those impacts currently occurring. The majority of the proposed activities are already being performed. The clearcutting and stabilization for the range target/support area will actually create more of an opportunity for increased variety of plants and animals. The use of the range complex, impact area, and airspace will not significantly alter or change current usage. Therefore, a 'Finding of No Significant Impact'(FONSI) is now proposed for public comment.

Khobar Towers: Tragedy and Response


Book Description

This account of the Khobar Towers bombing tells the story of the horrific attack and the magnificent response of airmen doing their duty under nearly impossible circumstances. None of them view their actions as heroic, yet the reader will marvel at their calm professionalism. All of them say it was just their job, but the reader will wonder how they could be so well trained to act almost instinctively to do the right thing at the right time. None of them would see their actions as selfless, yet countless numbers refused medical attention until the more seriously injured got treatment. Throughout this book, the themes of duty, commitment, and devotion to comrades resoundingly underscore the notion that America's brightest, bravest, and best wear her uniforms in service to the nation. This book is more than heroic actions, though, for there is also controversy. Were commanders responsible for not adequately protecting their people? What should one make of the several conflicting investigations following the attack? Dr. Jamieson has not shied away from these difficult questions, and others, but has discussed them and other controversial judgments in a straightforward and dispassionate way that will bring them into focus for everyone. It is clear from this book that there is a larger issue than just the response to the bombing. It is the issue of the example set by America's airmen. Future airmen who read this book will be stronger and will stand on the shoulders of those who suffered and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
