Sources
editA number of sections are sourced to Special Orders issued by the support unit at Cannon AFB.
- These are, at best, primary sources and not publicly available.
- I doubt that the cites are properly supported. Special orders issued by the support organization for a USAF installation are usually authority for personnel to travel to another location and to perform duty at that location. They are not authority for a unit to deploy and participate in an exercise or in combat. The typical (primary) source for this would be an Operational Plan (OPLAN). --Lineagegeek (talk) 23:39, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
Material
editThis article contains much non-encyclopedic information. A list of pilots who deployed on one deployment? Why not the maintenance men? Or the clerks? After all, if nobody kept up the Form 5s, the pilots wouldn't get credit for their missions. --Lineagegeek (talk) 23:39, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
