This exceptional book tells the story of DUSTOFF from its conception. It reviews its development and use in both Korea and Vietnam, but focuses on the post-Vietnam years that saw almost constant transformation of unit structure, doctrine and structural command and control, and the development and adaptation of new aircraft and lifesaving equipment. It also chronicles the transfer of the MEDEVAC units from medical to aviation control, a most traumatic event that presented the MEDEVAC community with another set of challenges.What held steadfast through these times of change was the immutable fact that brave American Warriors on the battlefield executed the nation's wars with the faith that comes from knowing that should they become casualties, the DUSTOFF crews would come. Their heroic efforts were recognized during our nation's military missions in Panama, Desert Storm, Provide Comfort, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq; the almost continuous support for MAST operations across the nation; and innumerable responses to domestic crises, Hurricane Katrina most prominent among them. Theirs is a stellar legacy, one well recognized and now, well recorded.PART ONE - Fulfilling a Need: From Conception to Combat * Chapter One - An Honorable Heritage * Chapter Two - From Korea through Vietnam * PART TWO - Domestic Duties & Contingency Operations * Chapter Three - Quiet Years, 1973-1980 * Chapter Four - New Challenges: Near and Afar, 1981-1990 * PART THREE - An Angry Decade * Chapter Five - Desert Shield/Desert Storm, 1990-1991 * Chapter Six - Force Reductions, 1992-1995 * Chapter Seven - The Balkans, 1992-Ongoing * PART FOUR - Into the Millennium: New Challenges, at Home and Abroad * Chapter Eight - To 9/11, 2000-2001 * Chapter Nine - Again, Into Battle, 2001-2003 * Chapter Ten - Aviation Transformation and Domestic Operations, 2002-2005 * Chapter Eleven - Warriors of Compassion * APPENDICES * A: List of MEDEVAC Units * B: Typical History of an ARNG MEDEVAC Unit * C: MEDEVAC Losses Post-Vietnam Era through Operation IRAQI FREEDOM 1 * Abbreviations and Acronyms
