It is geographically close to CFB Trenton , which has administrative responsibility for the facilities . History . The Mountain View aerodrome opened June 23 , 1941 to host No . 6 Bombing and Gunnery School ( 6 B & GS ) , one of eleven bombing and gunnery schools that opened across Canada under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during the Second World War . Aircraft used included the Anson , Battle , Lysander , Bolingbroke , and Nomad . The station was later designated RCAF Station Mountain View when No . 6 B & GS was renamed the Ground Instruction School and merged with the Air Armament School at RCAF Station Trenton . The RCAF fire fighting school moved to Mountain View from Trenton in 1946 , but later moved to RCAF Station Aylmer . Also in 1946 , RCAF Station Mountain View became a detachment of RCAF Station Trenton . CFD Mountain View includes two recognized Federal Heritage building 1986 on the Register of the Government of Canada Heritage Buildings . Operations . The main use of CFB Trenton Mountain View Detachment is the storage and overhaul of older aircraft . This facility belongs to the Aerospace and Telecommunications Engineering Support Squadron ( ATESS ) based at Trenton . In September 2000 , 8 Wing Trenton opened the Canadian Parachute Centre ' s ( now the Canadian Forces Land Advanced Warfare Centre ) drop zone at Mountain View . The Mountain View facility is also used by Central Region Gliding School ( CRGS ) for Royal Canadian Air Cadets glider training .

Laeaeans The Laeaeans ( ; ) were a Paeonian tribe who in the 4th century BC lived adjacent to the Agrianes , another Paeonian tribe , along the upper course of the Strymon river , at the western edge of Thrace . They were not incorporated into the Odrysian state or the Paeonian state , remaining an independent tribe outside the borders of those kingdoms . According to Thucydides , the Laeaeans , along with the Agrianes , the Thracian Dii , and other tribes , joined Sitalkes in his unsuccessful campaign against Perdiccas II of Macedon . The coins issued by the Laeaeans are judged to be of crude workmanship , and seem to be imitations of finer minted coins issued by other neighboring Paeonian tribes such as the Derrones . A typical coin bears the inscription LAIAI ( " Laeaeans " ) on the obverse , and a Pegasus in a double linear square on the reverse . It is unclear whether or not the Laeaeans were conquered by Philip II or Alexander III of Macedon , although their neighbours are recorded by historians such as Arrian as client kings .
Munson Report The Report on Japanese on the West Coast of the United States , often called the Munson Report , was a 29 - page report written in 1940 by Curtis B . Munson , a Detroit businessman commissioned as a special representative of the State Department , on the sympathies and loyalties of Japanese Americans living in California and the West Coast of the United States . Munson ' s report was submitted to the White House on October 7 , 1941 , exactly two months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor . By spring of 1941 , it was increasingly apparent that Japan and the United States would become enveloped in conflict . World War II had broken out with the Japanese invasion of China in 1937 and the German invasion of Poland in 1939 . In July 1941 , the United States , along with Britain and the Dutch East Indies , had imposed a total embargo on exports to Japan , including critical oil supplies . American military intelligence had broken top secret Japanese military codes , and a September 24 , 1941 message indicated that Pearl Harbor was a possible target of a Japanese attack . President Franklin D . Roosevelt immediately designated Munson as a special representative and gave him the task of gauging the loyalty of Japanese Americans , many of whom lived on military bases and important manufacturing facilities . Munson toured California and the Pacific Coast and interviewed Army and United States Marines intelligence officer s , military commanders , city officials , and the Federal Bureau of Investigation . Munson found that " There is some Japanese problems on the West Coast , but it has not yet reached a state in which we should fear them as a country " concluding that there was " a remarkable , even extraordinary degree of loyalty among some of this generally suspect ethnic group , but there were some Issei that remained loyal to their home country , Japan , and its Emperor . " The Munson Report was circulated to several Cabinet officials , including Secretary of War Henry L . Stimson , Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox , Attorney General Francis Biddle , and Secretary of State Cordell Hull . On January 9 , 1942 , Stimson sent a copy of the Munson Report to President Roosevelt , along with a memo stating that War Department officials had carefully studied the document . However , Executive Order 9066 , ordering the internment of Japanese Americans , was signed on February 19 . It is not known whether Roosevelt was influenced by the report itself , but he undoubtedly heard a multiplicity of suspicions . See also . C . B . Munson , " Japanese on the West Coast , " published as chapter 6 in " Asian American Studies : A Reader " ( editors Jean Yu - wen Shen Wu and Min Song ) , Rutgers University Press , 2000 .

251st Combat Communications Group The United States Air Force ' s 251st Cyberspace Engineering Installation Group ( 251 CEIG ) is an Air National Guard engineering installation unit located at Springfield ANGB , Ohio . Mission . The mission of the 251st CEIG is to command , organize , equip , train and administer assigned and attached forces to ensure complete mission readiness in support of emergency USAF requirements , and to provide timely and reliable communications engineering and installation in support of state emergencies . History . Headquarters , 251st Combat Communications Group ( CCG ) was constituted at Springfield , Ohio , on 5 October 1952 . Commanded by Major Charles R . Stahl , the Headquarters had an initial strength of five people . Of the existing ANG communications groups and five active duty groups , the 251CCG is the oldest , and it is also the parent unit of two other ANG combat communications groups : The 226CCG in Alabama and the 254CCG in Texas . At its inception , the group had twelve subordinate units in Ohio , North Carolina , Missouri , Illinois , Texas , Alabama , and Arkansas . The mission of the 251st initially was a composite of the missions of today ' s Engineering – Installation Squadrons and Combat Communications Squadrons . While the organization was charged with providing , installing , operating , and maintaining communications equipment for deployed flying units , it did so from " scratch " , with a greater variety of small components than today ' s relatively complete tactical capabilities . Beginning in 1953 , the headquarters planned and directed Group - Wide Exercises at locations across the country , beginning with Annual Training at Stewart AFB , New York , in August of that year . In 1954 , the organization was authorized with its first full - time officer Air Technician : Capt ( later Lt Col ) Herbert E . Moore . In that year , the headquarters strength increased to nine officers and nine enlisted personnel . The 251st started remissioning into a Cyberspace Engineering Installation Group in 2010 . The current mission of the Headquarters , 251CEIG is to command , organize , equip , train and administer assigned and attached forces to ensure readiness in order to provide communications engineering and installation services to support emergency USAF requirements and to provide a staff element for management of Communications and Electronics ( C - E ) personnel when deployed in support of Air Force taskings . To train for its wartime mission , the 251CEIG has been deploying to Exercises since 1976 , with its first overseas exercise involvement occurring in 1978 . Since its first deployment to these Joint Command System ( JCS ) and overseas exercises , the 251CEIG has deployed personnel and equipment to Korea , the European Theater , the US Southern Command , and to South West Asia . During Operation DESERT SHIELD and Operation DESERT STORM , the 251st provided over 1 , 500 workdays in voluntary direct support , both in the Area Of Responsibility ( AOR ) and in back - fill roles stateside .
