Coast Guard Squadron One
U.S. Air Force
Coast Guard Squadron One was a United States Coast Guard unit established in 1965 during the Vietnam War as part of Operation Market Time. Comprised primarily of 82-foot Point-class cutters and their crews, the squadron was tasked with interdicting the flow of supplies by sea from North Vietnam to the Viet Cong in South Vietnam. Operating under the operational control of the U.S. Navy, Squadron One conducted coastal patrols, boarding, and inspection missions to disrupt enemy logistics. The unit played a significant role in maritime security operations until its withdrawal and deactivation in 1970.

Edwards AFB & Hahn AFB
U.S. Air Force
**Edwards Air Force Base (AFB):** Established in the 1930s in California, Edwards AFB became a pivotal site for flight testing and aerospace innovation. It gained worldwide recognition as the location where Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in the Bell X-1 in 1947. Over the decades, Edwards has supported the testing and development of advanced aircraft like the B-2 Spirit, F-22 Raptor, and X-15 rocket plane, cementing its role as the U.S. Air Force’s premier flight test center. **Hahn Air Force Base (AFB):** Located in West Germany, Hahn AFB was activated by the U.S. Air Force in 1951 during the early years of the Cold War. It primarily hosted fighter-interceptor and later tactical fighter squadrons, notably operating F-100 Super Sabres, F-4 Phantoms, and F-16 Fighting Falcons as part of NATO’s frontline defense. Hahn played a key role in deterring Warsaw Pact aggression until its closure and return to German control in 1993 following the reduction of American forces in Europe.

HQ AFRES
U.S. Air Force
Headquarters Air Force Reserve (HQ AFRES) was established in April 1948 to oversee and manage United States Air Force Reserve units and personnel. Initially reporting to the Chief of Air Force Reserve, HQ AFRES provided central administrative support, policy guidance, and operational oversight. Throughout the Cold War, HQ AFRES played a critical role in mobilizing Reserve forces for contingencies such as the Korean and Vietnam Wars. In 1997, HQ AFRES was redesignated as Headquarters Air Force Reserve Command (HQ AFRC), reflecting its elevated status as a major command within the U.S. Air Force structure.
