message: In 1993 amalgamation or change of boundaries increased the area of military bases in the District from four posts of 9,802 acres to eight posts totaling 91,889 acres, and personnel increased from 16,166 to 61,531. How is that the same as "The command more than doubled in size"? This is more like a four fold increase.Royalcourtier (talk) 02:37, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

message: I've managed to fill in most of the gaps between 1979 and the present. Good sources were pictures of presidential visits to Arlington National Cemetery and presidential inaugural parades. The missing officer served from 1988 to 1990. I need to see if I can get a copy of The American Bicentennial Presidential Inaugural 1789-1989 Official Program: Peace, Prosperity and Independence at the local library. The officer in question would be listed as head of the military subcommittee. I haven't been able to find a copy online so far. The George H. W. Bush Presidential Library also hasn't posted many pictures of his visits to Arlington online. – Maliepa (talk) 13:57, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you so much for doing the needed additions! You and Morinao have access (and if you'll permit me, the money and knowhow) to military resources that we don't have. I couldn't find some of those and the way you detected them was something I could not have thought of myself. Well done! SuperWIKI (talk) 14:00, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: To my surprise, I find that Donald C. Hilbert must have held the post for four years, which is very unusual. He is still listed as the commanding officer in January 1990 (see p. 208 of the The United States Government Manual). – Maliepa (talk) 14:55, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hold up. They list the MDW commander in the U.S. Government Manual? Never seen that before. SuperWIKI (talk) 15:08, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, the Government Printing Office website has pdf copies of the Manual back to 1935 except for 1938. They don't appear to be searchable on their site, but I've started downloading a few of them to review the published information for the Department of the Army. My next officer is Robert G. Yerks, who held the MDW post from 1975 to 1977. – Maliepa (talk) 17:17, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also found an image of Paul A. Gavan from [p15434coll6_1478.pdf the second page of this source]. P.S. no proper link but searching "Paul A. Gavan" on Google images should pull up some PDF by the University of Maryland that has official portraits in it. SuperWIKI (talk) 17:19, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
