MAINTENANCE BUILDING 58 –
To the rear of building 62, and separated from it by an earthwork traverse, is building 58 (Drg No. 1244/53) it is designated Storage Building 'C-D'. It is approached along paths which lead back towards the bomb stores and the main gate, the entrances to the store are shielded by freestanding breeze block walls. The construction of the building is similar to the non-nuclear component stores, buildings 59-61, being formed from reinforced concrete columns and beams infilled with block work. It is, however, taller than the stores, buildings 59-61 and stands 23ft 11i from floor to ceiling. The main central section measures 70ft by 30ft, at each end of which are air lock porches 20ft by 15ft, while to the rear is plant and dark room 34ft 5in by 20ft. The root is a 5½in thick reinforced concrete slab, with a coating of bituminous felt. The building is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
▪︎RARITY – It is a rare building in a national and international context. Designed in the 1950's for storing innovative nuclear technology, RAF Barnham is the only such surviving facility in England.
▪︎HISTORIC INTEREST – A unique building surviving from the Cold War, designed to accommodate Britain's first nuclear weapon, the ''Blue Danube''.
▪︎GROUP VALUE – Building 58 has strong group value with the other buildings at RAF Barnham, both in terms of their function and historic significance.
▪︎INTACTNESS – Building 58 is a largely intact, bespoke structure.
Maintenance Building 58 was probably one of two buildings on the site (the other being the much altered Building 62) used for the inspection of the bombs brought from the airfields. Documents record some movement of bombs between the site and airfields and indeed pantechnicons designed to carry a complete weapon were known to have visited the site. It is now used for light engineering.
▪︎MATERIALS – Building 58 has a reinforced concrete frame and blockwork walls, over-painted at the east end, and is shielded by freestanding blast walls.
▪︎PLAN – The building has a rectangular plan, aligned approximately east-west.
▪︎EXTERIOR – The building has projecting entrance bays to the east and west, which contained airlocks internally, both of which have double height steel doors through which the bombs would travel. To the north are attached single storey toilet blocks and a store room with replaced fenestration.
▪︎INTERIOR – The central section of the building is largely featureless except for a runway beam which originally supported four hoists. The airlocks in the porches have been removed.
Although the site was used for storage of Mustard Gas and explosives during World War II, it was not until after the end of hostilities that the depot was constructed in its current form. In the early 1950's, the Air Ministry had a continuing need for high explosive bombs and storage facilities for them in anticipation of a future war in which atomic and thermo-nuclear weapons would be used by both sides.
It is within this historic context that the Special Storage Unit at RAF Barnham was constructed following the issuing of ''Blue Danube'', Britain's first nuclear bomb, to the RAF in November 1953. The bombs were held in clutches in V-bomber airfields such as RAF Scampton and RAF Wittering and the purpose of the store at RAF Barnham, and the almost identical site at RAF Faldingwoth in Lincolnshire, was to provide maintenance and refurbishment to support the airfields and hold spare warheads.
The Air Ministry plan for the Store is dated May 1953, although planning for the facility almost certainly had started before this, and it was fully operational by July 1954. In the first phase of works, the fences, earthworks, fissile core storage hutches, inspection buildings and gantries were built by August 1955. The small arms and pyrotechnics store, barrack accommodation, gymnasium, telephone exchange, meat preparation store and dog compound were erected shortly after to strengthen security. By mid 1955 the double fence was in place, later augmented by the current observation towers erected in early 1959 replacing smaller structures.
The Special Storage Unit remained the main holding place for the Mk. I atomic bomb, under control of Bomber Command until November 1956 when an independent Unit (95 Commanding Maintenance Unit) was formed. During the operational life of the site, second and third generation British nuclear weapons such as ''Red Beard'' and ''Yellow Sun'' were introduced and stored there. By 1962, the site was in decline and the Maintenance Unit ceased to exist on 31st July 1963. The closure of the station is probably linked to the operational deployment of ''Blue Steel'' from late 1962.
The site was sold to the current owners in 1966 and later let out for light industrial use. Some of the buildings have been altered and significantly, one of the Non-nuclear stores burnt down in the 1980’s, but there has been an on-going maintenance and repair programme agreed with English Heritage resulting in the preservation of the site.

The Star Wars Command army men toys Death Star Strike pack certainly has a lot of fun figures in it. Here are two Imperial pilots I’m working on painting. Much like the Rebel pilots it’s a bit weird to have a pilot army man figure since you’d figure they’d get their butts kicked pretty quickly and should be flying.
Sadly unlike the Rebel’s there is only one pose for this guy. And he is in the classic Terminator “Come with me if you want to live” pose. This pose is odd because its more something that the Rebels would do offering peace over sheer fire power. So if I were making the toys or anybody with a half a mind of what Star Wars is about would have the Empire’s troops with guns blazing.
I decided that I did not want a simple all black figure as the way the toy came and as shown in the movie. I painted the first figure a sort of pavement color to help add separation between the different articles of his attire. The second figure I wanted to make a bomber pilot variation. I think the shuttle pilots wore dark grey outfits and that was my inspiration.
If I get some more of these I want to make a Rebel version of the Imperial Pilot and a Imperial version of the Rebel pilot with the colors and insignias switched. That one scene in Star Wars always bugged me when we saw the Imperial pilots follow Darth Vader in the Death Star. They looked so short like they were teenagers or something. Hardly imposing at all. Bad casting choices there George.

CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait — Soldiers from the 1st Theater Sustainment Command and the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) participated in various social and spiritual activities to celebrate the holiday season.
On Christmas Eve hundreds of service members, Department of Defense civilians and contractors gathered at a hangar decked out for the holidays. Put together by 1st TSC and 143d ESC Soldiers along with the helping hands of Morale, Welfare and Recreation employees, the event included a buffet dinner, a visit from St. Nicholas and a secret Santa gift exchange in front of a Christmas tree. Several Soldiers and civilians demonstrated their singing or dancing skills on stage during a “Camp Arifjan’s Got Talent” show judged by members of the 143d ESC’s junior enlisted ranks.
Though the celebration generated much laughter and applause from the lively crowd, some Soldiers opted to spend Christmas Eve at a more solemn venue.
Chaplains and chaplain assistants deployed to Camp Arifjan hosted a Christmas Eve vigil at the post chapel that evening. The nondenominational Christian service wove scripture readings and traditional Christmas carols before the congregation brought the service to its climax as it illuminated the chapel with hundreds of lit candles.
The celebration continued the next day with a 5k run and a Christmas feast served by the 1st TSC and 143d ESC’s senior leadership at Camp Arifjan’s Dining Facilities. The 143d ESC also hosted a barbecue lunch as well as various sporting activities such as volleyball and cornhole.

The Vigilant Air Command Warbird Museum is a cool air museum that doubles as an aircraft preservation and/or restoration facility. I had never heard of it until the day I visited - it sounded pretty good, and it was. I hit it shortly before closing on a Sunday evening and had the place to myself. My first impression was how crowded it was. Planes were tightly packed together in the hanger. It was hard to get any photos without getting a bunch of other stuff in the photo. There are also a number of planes outside in the elements. I liked that you can get up close and personal with the planes, but be careful since I almost poked my eyes out several times.
The museum is located at the Space Coast Regional Airport, near Titusville, Florida. Check it out if you are in the area. I took these photos in mid-December 2021.

U.S. Army Cadet Command and Fort Knox welcomed its new leader today at 10 a.m. as Maj. Gen. Peggy Combs transferred command to Maj. Gen. Christopher Hughes during a change of command ceremony at Brooks Parade Field here.
Hughes came to Fort Knox from Fort Shafter, Hawaii, where he served at the U.S. Army Pacific Command chief of staff. As the USACC commander, he will oversee the Army ROTC program, which includes college-level units located on 275 colleges and universities throughout the nation. Nearly 1,000 other institutions of higher learning also have students who participate in Army ROTC, and more than 300,000 high school students are enrolled in the Army Junior ROTC program that is administered by USACC.
His role as the senior commander will include the care of Fort Knox Soldiers, their families and civilian employees, as well as enabling the readiness of tenant units on the Army post. This includes oversight of base operations support and family and installation programs.
Hughes is an Iowa native and was commissioned in 1983 through the Army ROTC program at Northwest Missouri State University and holds advanced degrees from Webster University and National Defense University. His military education includes the Infantry Officer Basic and Advanced Courses, the Army Command and General Staff College and the Armed Forces Staff College. Hughes was designated a Distinguished Graduate upon completing the National War College in 2005.
Combs has led USACC and Fort Knox since March 2014. In that time, she implemented USACC’s “Bold Transformation” initiatives and led the development of “ROTC 2020-2040”, which are both centered on providing ROTC instruction to develop agile and adaptive officers who will be capable of making decisions and operating in a complex environment. She also instituted a cadre and faculty development course to help USACC Soldiers become well-rounded educators prior to serving in instructor positions in ROTC programs.
In her role as the Fort Knox commander, Combs worked with multiple installation support organizations to ensure USACC’s newly-transformed and significantly larger Cadet Summer Training mission on Fort Knox would be supported seamlessly. Additionally, she spearheaded a collaborative effort to chart a Fort Knox vision to maximize the post’s capabilities and assets as well as to support the U.S. Army’s No. 1 priority: readiness.
Combs’ next assignment will be at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, where she will serve as the U.S. Northern Command chief of staff.

About the 401st:
The 401st Army field Support Brigade provides Soldiers, Sailors, Airman, and Marines, the tools and resources necessary to complete the mission. If they shoot, drive it, fly it, wear it, eat it or communicate with it, the 401st helps provide it. The brigade assists coalition partners with many of their logistical and sustainment needs. The brigade also handles the responsible disposition of equipment in Afghanistan to support evolving missions. We are the single link between Warfighters in the field, and working through Army Sustainment Command, we leverage Army Materiel Command’s worldwide Materiel Enterprise to develop, deliver, and sustain materiel to ensure a dominant joint force for the U.S. and our Allies.

CAMP ZAMA, Japan - The Army Reserve Engagement Team-Japan (ARET-J) welcomed Army Command Sgt. Maj. Luther Thomas, Jr., to the Land of the Rising Sun during his tour of the Pacific Aug. 17-19, 2015. ARET-J presented Thomas with an overview of the Army's mission in Japan while Thomas outlined the Army Reserve's latest training courses, retention programs and promotion incentives.
Thomas joined scores of Soldiers, families and Department of Defense civilians at the Camp Zama Community Club Aug. 18 to watch Army Maj. Gen. James F. Pasquarette, commanding general, U.S. Army Japan (USARJ) and I Corps (Forward) pin the rank of colonel onto the chest of Army Col. Timothy M. Snyder (right), ARET-J's newly appointed director. A former infantry officer and distinguished member of the U.S. Border Patrol, Snyder accumulated eight years serving in various leadership assignments throughout Japan. He and his small yet capable ARET-J team augment USARJ & I Corps (Fwd)'s mission by recruiting qualified Army Reserve Soldiers to fill dozens of key leadership positions throughout Japan.
“I am very impressed with what [ARET-J] has accomplished in such a short period of time,” said Thomas. “[Snyder] and his team have proved instrumental in seamlessly connecting USARJ with Army Reserve Soldiers who have the experience and expertise to excel in positions that would have otherwise remained vacant.”
After the ceremony, ARET-J organized a luncheon for Thomas at the Camp Zama Clubhouse Restaurant. There, the command sergeant major and his ARET-J hosts discussed candidly about the challenges and opportunities facing their their respective commands. The luncheon was followed by a formal briefing with Reserve Soldiers about the current status and future outlook of the Drilling Individual Mobilization Augmentee (DIMA) program. USARJ and I Corps (Fwd) depends on the DIMA program to fill key leadership and specialist positions that ensure the command boasts the talent and manpower necessary to manage the numerous logistical missions and bilateral engagements conducted throughout Japan. Thomas also discussed the effectiveness of “Operation Full Court Press,” the Army Reserve's latest campaign to keep qualified enlisted Soldiers in the Army through promotion incentives and employment opportunities in the private sector.
“In my travels I met many specialists (E4) who had been in the Army Reserve for almost a decade,” said Thomas. “Most of these older specialists were more than ready to enter the [noncommissioned officer] ranks … I took it upon myself that qualified E4s would automatically populate on the promotion board list. This program has increased the number of promotions from specialist to sergeant by more than 270 percent.”
Prior to his departure, Thomas presented his personal command sergeant major coin to Army Pfc. Shamika Richardson, a chaplain assistant serving in USARJ and I Corps (Fwd). A native of Tallahasee, Fla., Aug. 18, 2015, at Camp Zama, Japan. Richardson coordinated with the Camp Zama Dining Facility Staff to prepare the VIP room for a luncheon attended by Thomas and hosted by the Army Reserve Engagement Team-Japan.
“It wasn't that long ago that the [Active] Army, Army Reserve and National Guard treated one another as separate entities,” said Thomas. “The fact that USARJ's senior leadership rarely distinguish active duty Soldiers with their Reserve subordinates and superiors speaks highly of the ARET-J's commitment, compassion and professionalism.”
Thomas will continue to move east as he visits Army Reserve Soldiers stationed in Korea.
