RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany - In a rare occurrence in the Air Force,
one wing became two at Ramstein as the new 435th Air Base Wing was
activated and a new commander took the reins.

And so we come full circle.

Then came "One base, one Wing" concept in 1990(?). Everything united under
one BG.

Pete:

I don't mind you commenting on der Willie's spewings but could
you not attribute to him please. Its not his material anyhow
so you wouldn't be treading on his prerogatives and I'm sure
the effort on your part to cut him out would be appreciated.
Lord knows he's many multiple entries in my bozo file.

Soon, all remnants of McPeak's term as CoS will be gone. His legacy erased in
under a decade.
