File: 110196_aacis_10.txtthe staff used three cars, maintenance had one 15 passenger mini- bus, a 30 passenger bus, and a small truck, while supply person- nel used a small truck. All of these vehicles were Japanese products. Manning During my stay, there was a total of 77 personnel as- ssigned to the 306SW deployed location at Al-Dhafra. Eight aircrews, 32 maintenance personnel, six security police person- nel, three supply personnel, and four staff personnel. While at Al-Dhafra I began to establish friendships with the local aier force personnel who treated me as an honored guest. From the individual at the base gas station to the base commander, all were very friendly as long as you respect them. In the two weeks I was at Al-Dhafra, I gain an apprecia- tion for the hard work and dedication of the maintenance person- nel who worked on the aircraft, the aircrews who flew the aircraft, and the numerous support personnel who made tent city work an Al-Dhafra operate. Their combined efforts made the opera- tions at Al-Dhafra a show place in the Southwest Asia Theater of Operations. [(b)(6)] CHARLES SPIEGELMAN, SSgt, USAF Historian
