	Changing Air Force Means Basic Changes
		Air Force officials figure up to 85 percent of all airmen will deploy to a world hot spot at least once during their careers.
		With the end of the Cold War, the Air Force increasingly found itself deploying to areas where the threat was not the intercontinental missiles of a distant Soviet Union, but a satchel of explosives in the vehicle of a terrorist parked just outside the main gate of the base.
		Air Force trainees assemble to listen to a critique from their military training instructors at the Scorpion's Nest.

	History of Kelly AFB
		Kelly Air Force Base is the oldest, continuously active air base in the United States Air Force today.
		Air circuses and balloon races were exciting events in the Roaring Twenties, and the pilots at Kelly were happy to provide the thrills and air spectacles the public loved.
		Kelly's response was immediate, too, as its people began around-the-clock support for "Operation Desert Shield" and later "Operation Desert Storm." By the time allied forces had routed the Iraqis, March 1991, Kelly had moved over 10,000 short tons of material and 4,700 passengers and deployed 17 million pounds of Air Force munitions to Southwest Asia.

	Kelly Field Historic District -- Aviation: From Sand Dunes to Sonic Booms: A National Register of Historic Places ...
		Kelly Field, named for George Edward Maurice Kelly, the first military pilot killed in an airplane crash at nearby Fort Sam Houston in 1911, was one of 14 schools in the country conducting primary flight training during World War I.

	When workplaces shut down
		The recent shutdown of the Kelly Air Force Base shows that, with the right interventions, closures don't have to be agonizing.

		Air Force officials estimate that Kelly saved millions of dollars in productivity during the closure process--and many attribute the savings to the TLA program.
