Dates: 1946 - 1992 Tactical Air Command (TAC) (1946 - 1992) was a Major Command of the United States Air Force (USAF) charged with battlefield-level (tactical) air combat to include air superiority (offensive and defensive counterair), light bombardment, tactical nuclear strike, tactical reconnaissance, close air support of ground troops, battlefield air interdiction of enemy forces, and (until 1975) tactical airlift of ground troops, other personnel and associated logistical support to bases. TAC was also responsible for tactical ballistic missiles and tactical cruise missiles, although the latter role in the 1980s and 1990s was often delegated to United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) and Pacific Air Forces (PACAF).

RAF Detachment Plattling in Bavaria in 1965Written by Bob Bertram Contact this person >> "Had my 20th birthday in Plattling as part of a team of 1 Corporal and 5 airman manning the remote DF site outside the town. Deep in what was then the US Zone, we had a great time and were part of the town. We lived in the Hotel Preysinghof and had the cellar (Apostel Kellar) for our club. Still visit as part of a fire brigade (now much bigger) partnership and an honorary member of the local feuerwehr.
My old haunting ground of Selkirk in the Scottish Boarders is now twinned with Plattling with many other partnerhips having been formed - all from my time there in 1965/66. " Marine Detachment to the Falklands in 1952Written by Archie Herd Contact this person >> " I have a lot of memoties regarding my time in the Falklands when 28 of us were sent from HMS Shefield in the West Indies to the Falklands on board HMS Veryan Bay a small Frigate,we were there for about 7 months ptorecting the Falklanders from the Argentines, it was a hard time we were put asore to live in the old naval wireless station outside POrt Stanley,we also made a visit to South Georga which was still in opperation, would like to make contact with any old mates then." raf detachment kuantan in 1965Written by donald dykes Contact this person >> "My memories of Kuantan are that much of my time was spent on the beach because we only had one aircraft a week to deliver our official mail. I remember watching a film while it was raining and you could hardly see the screen.One day the cooks set fireto the corrugated sheet over the field cookhouse. Got promotedto FS on this tour,and was very embarrased when I returned to UK for being awarded the GeneralService Malaya for my sojourn on the beach" RAF Detachment Hickam AFB, Honolulu, Hawaii in 1962Written by Richard Stock Contact this person >> "My name is Richard (Rick) Stock.
