Cold War stein named to C.A. Tate, 7030th Motor Vehicle Squadron, 12th Air Force, Ramstein Air Base, Ramstein, Germany 1956
The headquarters and headquarters squadron of 12th AF activated at Bolling Field, Washington, D.C., on Aug. 20, 1942, and a headquarters detachment for planning was also formed, in England, under the direction of Brig. Gen. James H. Doolittle. During the interim period between the activation of 12th Air Force headquarters and its arrival in England, Doolittle was responsible to Maj. Gen. Carl Spaatz, Commander of 8th Air Force, resulting in 12th Air Force code name, "8th Air Force Junior," or "Junior." The Headquarters element, from Bolling Field, arrived in England in early September and Doolittle formally assumed command of 12th AF on Sept. 23, 1942.
Reactivated on Jan. 21, 1951 in Wiesbaden, Germany, and assigned to U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE), 12th AF became the first USAFE unit to be committed to the newly created North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in April 1952. Charged with conducting the aerial mission of NATO's Allied Air Forces Central Europe, 12th AF along with French and Canadian air units formed the 4th Allied Tactical Air Force. As part of a USAFE base realignment, 12th Air Force moved in April 1953 to Ramstein, Germany. From Ramstein AB, 12th Air Force continued to operate in its coequal role as a tactical air force for USAFE and NATO through December 1957.
