Holloman Air Force Base Fire Department

== Area Served ==
Holloman Air Force Base, formerly Alamogordo Field Training Station and Alamogordo Army Air Field, is a United States Air Force installation established on June 10, 1942, and located six miles southwest of the central business district of Alamogordo, in Otero County, in New Mexico's Tularosa Basin between the Sacramento and San Andreas mountain ranges. The base was renamed from Alamogordo AAF to Holloman AFB on January 13, 1948 in honor of Army Air Force Colonel George Vernon Holloman (September 17, 1902 – March 19, 1946), a pioneer in early rocket and pilot-less aircraft research, who perished on March 19, 1946 when the B-17 bomber he was a passenger in crashed into a mountain on the island of Formosa (now Taiwan) while on a flight from Shanghai, China, to Manila in the Philippine Islands. The host unit at Holloman is the 49th Wing of the Air Education and Training Command (AETC). In addition to hosting several combat wings, Holloman supports the nearby White Sands Missile Range and currently hosts the Royal Air Force RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) Formal Training Unit (FTU). The base previously hosted the German Air Force Flying Training Center. About 21,000 active duty, Air National Guard, air force reserve, retirees, DoD civilians and their family members reside on and/or near Holloman AFB.
== Department Profile ==
Aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF), structure firefighting, emergency medical services, technical rescue, hazmat services, fire prevention and inspection for Holloman AFB is provided by the 49th Civil Engineer Squadron / Holloman Fire And Emergency Services, a subordinate unit of the 49th Mission Support Group, comprised of a mix of civilian and military firefighters.  
== History ==
Construction for a US Army Air Force base 6 miles west of Alamogordo, New Mexico, began on February 6, 1942. After the nearby Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range was established by Executive Order No. 9029, the neighboring military installation was designated Alamogordo Field Training Station (May 27, 1942) and then Alamogordo Army Air Base (operated by the 359th Base Headquarters beginning on June 10, 1942). Alamogordo trained bomber crews for the B-17 Flying Fortress and Consolidated B-24 Liberator aircraft for service in overseas WWII theater of operations. Over 20 bomber groups were trained at Alamogordo and posted over the course of the war. With the September 1947 formation of the United States Air Force (USAF), the Holloman range and the White Sands Proving Ground merged in late 1947 to become the New Mexico Joint Guided Missile Test Range, later renamed White Sands Missile Range.
