Contrary to what many perceive, the AF has been in the business of environmental quality since day one. However, only recent successes have received significant attention. Today's Air Force Environmental Quality Program is the product of an evolution which began almost 50 years ago when the AF became a separate Service. The ceaseless efforts of countless AF civil engineers and planners led to enormous advances and to the AF's emergence as a leader in the field, not only within the DOD, but throughout the United States and even the world. However, AF leaders are guilty of not adequately documenting these accomplishments.This report provides, for the first time, a historical document outlining achievements that clearly demonstrate the AF commitment to environmental quality. The report's focus is two-fold: first, it documents the evolution of the program since its beginning in the late 1940s; and second, it highlights AF successes in the cleanup of past hazardous contamination, compliance with current environmental laws, stewardship of natural and cultural resources, and prevention of future environmental pollution.
