When the United States Air Force deployed its 1st Wing at Dothan, Alabama in 1951, it was a momentous occasion. At that time, the wing was designated as the "Athletic Department" and it was one of only three active wings in the USAF. The wing's deployment marked a new era for theAAF and for Dothan. It would be an eventful few years as airmen from other wings would move to join the Athletic Department, but during those years there were many memorable moments at Dothan AFB. The first major event occurred on December 17th of 1951 when General George C Marshall arrived to assume command of American Forces Europe. He was met with applause by members of the city's civic organization who had assembled on government-owned land to greet him. Upon his arrival, General Marshall made a speech which emphasized America's resolve to remain strong in Europe after World War II ended. He also announced that Dothan AFB would become an important training site for USAF pilots coming back from operations in Korea and Vietnam. This announcement solidified our commitment to NATO and helped build morale within our air force community. Other significant events during this time included: - The opening of Air University which became available to students at Dothan AFB on September 15th, 1952 - The first installation of CF-5s at Elmendorf AFB on October 14th - A successful test launch of SR-71 Blackbird aircraft from Elmendorf AFB on November 3rd On January 5th, 1953 Colonel John Foulke took over leadership of the Aeronautical Laboratory located adjacent to AFDOT Headquarters building; this laboratory served as both research & development center for AFDOT programs while also providing support services needed by other agencies within DoH such as Missile Command & Tactical Air Command (TAC). In 1954 Colonel Foulke handed over management responsibility for Research Laboratories #2 (RL#2) and #3 (RL#3) located near Charleston International Airport before his retirement effective July 1st; these laboratories continued performing research & development activities until their closure in 1992 pursuant to DoD policy Expeditions into or annexation by foreign countries are not permitted without prior written notice To read more about Colonel Foulke visit: http://www2.afdotsystemsolutionsUSA TODAY dot com/stories/a_honor_to_past_leader

Dothan is a city in the south-central part of Alabama. It is the seat of Marshall County and had a population of over 100,000 as of 2010. Dothan was founded on November 3, 1872 by James E. Dothan, who became its first mayor. The City Council has five members and the Mayor serves a two-year term with no re-election. The City Manager is appointed by the Mayor with advice and consent from the City Council. In addition to its downtown business district, which includes several hotels and restaurants, Dothan also contains an industrial area that houses various manufacturing companies such as Concrete Industries Inc., Continental Rubber Company, J.B.'s Mfg., Inc., Sears Roebuck & Co., Wacoal Manufacturing Corporation, and United States Steel Corp.. The city's skyline overlooks Mobile Bayou which forms its eastern border. The climate in Dothan varies significantly depending on location; it experiences humid subtropical weather in the summer months while winter sees colder temperatures but more snowfall than average. Springtime sees a pronounced return to cool temperatures with precipitation lasting into late summer before gradually increasing throughout fall until early winter when most rainfalls occur during severe thunderstorms known as "flooding". This year saw many tornadoes touch down within Alabama including one that killed three people in central Dothan just days after Christmas Eve - making this year's tornado season one of the deadliest in recent memory for residents living within 75 miles of any major city in America
The United States Air Force deploys gift history every year. This tradition started in 1947 when the USAF donated a plane to the Royal Canadian Air force. The USAF has gifted many planes and helicopters over the years, but this is the first time a military aircraft has been given to a non-military organization. In 1949, the USAF donated two C-119 Flying Boxcars to UNESCO. These were used as educational vehicles for students from all over the world. From 1954 to 1957, the USAF gave four F-86 Sabres to NATO. These planes served as an airborne warning and control squadron until they were replaced by jet fighters in 1973. From 1978 to 1984, the USAF gave three KC-135 Stratotanks (one each to NATO countries) as gifts of appreciation for their support during Operation Desert Storm. In 1994, the USAF gifted two Boeing 747 airliners as gifts to both NATO and World Bank organizations that had supported US efforts during Operation Just Cause in Panama. Since 1997, United Airlines has provided gift history for both United Nations and World bank organizations with one Bombardier CRJ100 Dreamliner per year.
The USAF deployed gift history in 1957. The USAF first deployed a gift history program in 1947 as part of the Military Assistance Program (MAP).

Dothan was founded in 1837 by James D. Hogg and his wife, Chloe. The town prospered due to its location within a fertile area that supported crops and livestock. A post office was established in 1843, and the town grew rapidly until it reached its current size in 1865. In the late 1800s, Dothan became an important transportation hub for the region due to its large population of cotton pickers and farmers. In 1915, the first movie studio in Alabama was established in Dothan, and over the years it has become a major center for motion pictures.
