7217th Air Division The 7217th Air Division ( 7217th AD ) is an inactive United States Air Force organization . Its last assignment was with the United States Air Forces in Europe , being stationed at Ankara Air Station , Turkey . It was inactivated on 9 September 1970 . History . Operational history . The division provided logistical support for all American armed forces , and military activities in Turkey , Greece , and Crete . Its area of responsibility extended from the Black Sea to Ethiopia and from Greece to Pakistan . The 7217th Air Division was established as a result of the " Lebanese Crisis " of 1958 during which the US sent aircraft and troops to Incirlik Air Base , Turkey in support of the Marines dispatched to Lebanon . At the same time the US Embassy and Its agencies were demanding more and more services . As a result , on 7 August 1959 , USAFE reversed its position and elevated HQ TUSLOG to be the 7217th Air Division . The rank of the commander of HQ TUSLOG was then raised from colonel to brigadier general . The 7217th provided facilities and training for rotational tactical fighter squadrons , maintenance for aircraft assigned to Military Aid and Assistance Groups ( MAAGs ) in the Middle East , and logistical support for occasional unscheduled aerial operations . By the mid - 1960s , demands on the defense budget and manpower by the war in Southeast Asia forced the US to reconsider its military priorities in other parts of the world . In 1966 , Senate majority leader Mike Mansfield began a campaign to reduce unilaterally US troop levels in Europe . Following this , Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford initiated a program for the Reduction of Costs and Forces in Europe ( REDCOSTE ) in 1968 . Although a change in administrations occurred in the same year , this program conformed to the Nixon policy of lowering the profile of American forces abroad . Consequently , the US began to eliminate or consolidate many of its operations in Turkey . Between 1969 and 1973 , for instance , sites at Samsun and Trabzon were turned over to the Turkish government . In addition , Cigli Air Base , which since 1963 had been used by USAF rotational squadrons , was turned over to the Turkish Air Force in 1970 . The US continued , however , to fund the maintenance of numerous facilities at that base . Altogether , between 1967 and 1970 , the number of Americans in Turkey dropped from 24 , 000 to 15 , 000 . The cutbacks in forces in Turkey naturally had a major effect on TUSLOG . The headquarters in Ankara shrank to a fraction of its former size . On 9 September , it was inactivated as the 7217th Air Division and the next day reestablished as Detachment 1 of Headquarters Sixteen Air Force .

The engagement was part of a military campaign to break the power of Soyo in the region . Pre - Battle Situation and the Kongo Civil War . In 1665 the Kingdom of Kongo clashed with their one - time allies the Portuguese at the Battle of Mbwila . The engagement resulted in a crushing Portuguese victory ending in the death of the Mwenekongo António I and most of the kingdom ' s nobility . Afterwards , Kongo erupted in a brutal civil war between the House of Kinlaza , which had ruled under the dead king , and the House of Kimpanzu . Soyo , home to many Kimpanzu partisans , was eager to take advantage of the chaos . Within a few months of the national tragedy at Mbwila , the Prince of Soyo invaded the capital of São Salvador and installed his protégé , Afonso II on the throne . This happened again in 1669 with the placement of Álvaro IX on the throne . By this time both the Portuguese and central authority in Kongo were growing tired of Soyo ' s meddling . While the Kinlaza and others in Kongo lived in fear of a Soyo invasion , the governor of Luanda was fearing the growing power of Soyo . With access to Dutch merchants willing to sell them guns and cannons plus diplomatic access to the Pope , Soyo was on its way to becoming as powerful as Kongo had been before Mbwila . Committing to the unthinkable , the weak central authority in Kongo asked Luanda to invade Soyo . In return , Portugal was promised money , mineral concesions and the right to build a fortress in Soyo to keep out the Dutch . Engagement . Responding to a plea by King Rafael I , a Portuguese colonial army from Luanda was dispatched to conquer Kongo ' s rebel province of Soyo in June 1670 . The Count of Soyo Estêvão da Silva and his brother Prince Paulo da Silva moved with a force of BaKongo musketeers intermixed with heavy infantry holding shields for which BaKongo soldiers were famous to meet the force . The armies met just north of the Mbidizi River . The Portuguese were successful initially , just as they had been in earlier engagements against Kongo at Mbwila and Mbumbi . The Portuguese use of grapeshot inflicted many casualties on the Soyo army and forced the defeated to retreat . Enthused by their victory , the Portuguese captured the enemies ' shields and marched further anticipating hand - to - hand combat at another location and hoping for a chance to show off their own talents in swordsmanship . Aftermath . The Portuguese advanced deeper into Kongo where they were met and defeated by Soyo at the Battle of Kitombo .
