	USAFE, a look back at 2002
		According to Gen. Gregory S. Martin, USAFE commander, OEF and the global war on terrorism are without question the two most significant events during the past year.
		The first event that USAFE was involved in at the beginning of OEF was the humanitarian relief missions into Afghanistan from October to December 2001.
		According to the general, USAFE will have a large role in embracing the new NATO members and teaching them our procedures, techniques, training and to work with them on their modernization priorities so they can begin to develop the same kinds of standards in their base structures we have benefited from.

	Tuzla is Tough Duty
		USAFE has evolved from its Cold War persona (a forward-deployed force prepared to fight a major war from its home bases) to a new, post-Cold War self--a forward staging base for contingency deployments on Europe's periphery.
		It was their concept of USAFE as a forward-based but swift-deploying air arm that prompted USAFE officials to retain basing capacity in excess of what would be needed merely to bed down the command in the wake of a two-thirds cut from its Cold War size.
		USAFE officials believe that, barring new contingencies or a new round of force reductions, the adjustments they've made in operations tempo, organization, and procedures will be sufficient to cope with the present level of operations.

	Air Base Survivability in Europe: Can USAFE survive and fight? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		USAFE aircraft in place and in reserve comprise a significant portion of NATO’s total air power, and these aircraft are tasked with performing some of the organization’s most difficult missions.
		USAFE’s challenge will be to launch the fleet with little or no warning, recover hundreds of returning aircraft, "turn" the fleet (reservice, repair, reload, and relaunch) several times each day, and sustain these surge operations for days.
		USAFE air bases are especially vulnerable to such attacks because U.S. aircraft, except for the A-l0, do not have "off road" capability.

		Air Force Gen. Robert H. "Doc" Foglesong said USAFE began returning much of its force structure to the United States after the Cold War ended and it became evident that the United States no longer had to prepare to face off against the Soviet Union at the Fulda Gap.
		The command's leaders recognized that USAFE's long-standing mission was changing, and that "we were going to be in the enabling business as much as we were going to be in the kinetic warfighting business," Foglesong said during a joint interview with the Pentagon Channel and the American Forces Press Service.
		USAFE cut its fighter aircraft fleet from more than 700 in the 1990s to fewer than 200 today, converting some wings to suit the support missions they were being tasked to carry out.

	THE LOCKHEED RF-80A IN USAFE SERVICE, Sembach AB, Germany
		New and reconstructed bases were established in Germany, France and the United Kingdom to house the new wings and squadrons brought in to counter the threat of the Soviet Union and it's allies; a threat that had become terrifyingly real with the blockade of Berlin in June 1948.
		One of the problems facing U.S.A.F.E. Command, having two similarly equipped tactical reconnaissance wings at their disposal, was to avoid mission and operations duplication.
		The autumn and winter of 1953 brought appalling weather conditions to northern Europe and a multitude of problems to all the tactical units of U.S.A.F.E. The mission backlog of all the squadrons of the 10th and 66th TRW became acute.
