USAF MOOTW OPERATIONS, 1916–1996

Appendix A USAF MOOTW OPERATIONS, 1916–1996 This appendix presents our database of 869 military operations other than war (MOOTW) in which the United States Air Force (USAF) or its predecessors participated between 1916 and 1996. The database lists basic information about each operation; as the reader can see, the level of detail about the number and types of aircraft involved varies greatly. The database is drawn primarily from USAF sources. A second important source of information is the database developed by Defense Forecasts International (DFI, 1995), a defense consulting company based in the Washington, D.C., area. 79 Table A.1 USAF MOOTW Operations, 1916–1996 Flood Relief Border control Civil support Location Mexico Date 1916 Aircraft Type No. of Aircraft Sorties 67 14,000 SW US 1919–1921 DH-4s 1919–1921 JN-4Hs, DH-4s Civil support Calif, Oregon US US/ Mexico US 1919 Crop Dusting Disaster relief Civil support Rio Grande Flood Colorado Mine Disaster Delaware River Ice Jam Platte River Ice Jam Susquehanna River Ice Jam Disaster relief Disaster relief Civil support Civil support Civil support US 1922 US 1922 US 1923 US 1924 US 1926 1919–1925 1921–1924 3,000 PAX Cargo (tons) Source USAF, 1993a, p.1.
