Major general: Progress being made
By ELOISE OGDEN, Regional Editor mdnregion@srt.com
MINOT AIR FORCE BASE � A former commander at Minot Air Force Base who was the top officer at a combined forces base in Qatar for 17 months says progress is being made in Iraq and the Air Force is highly engaged in those efforts.
But Maj. Gen. Robert Elder Jr. said that information is not widely reported.
Elder, now commandant of Air War College and vice commander of Air University at Maxwell AFB at Montgomery, Ala., was the senior Air Force officer of U.S. Central Command Air Forces-Forward Combined Air Headquarters, among other titles, at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. That installation is a major air operations center for the Middle East.
Out of more than 70 different districts in Iraq, Elder said "there's only three where all the troubles are.
"For most of Iraq right now, things are looking pretty good," he told members of the Minot Area Chamber of Commerce's Military Affairs Committee Thursday at the Minot base.
While there's still problems with the Sunnis and Shiites fighting in the Sunni Triangle, he said the reality is there have been a lot of improvements in that country.
He said newspapers reported the Sunni leaders have said they are interested in becoming part of the government. "That's huge because having them become part of the government is much better than having them fight the government," he said.
Elder has been assigned twice to Minot AFB during his Air Force career. He was commander of the 5th Bomb Wing from August 1996 until July 1998. He also was the commander of the 5th Operations Group from July 1993 to December 1994.
After that, he was deputy director of the NATO Reaction Force Air Staff with Allied Command Europe in Kalkar, Germany, and then vice commander of 9th Air Force and deputy commander of U.S. Central Command Air Forces at Shaw AFB, S.C.
Since July 2004, he has been the commandant of Air War College and vice commander of Air University at Maxwell AFB.
Air War College is the U.S. Air Force's senior professional military education institution and Air University provides a full spectrum of Air Force education for officers, enlisted and civilian personnel throughout their careers.
Elder's visit to Minot AFB this week also was for a retirement ceremony and to speak at the Airmen Leadership School graduation.
He said a lot of good things have been going on in Iraq in regard to the Air Force but people may not know it because the contributions have been kept relatively quiet, Elder said.
Among all the work going on there includes that airmen are running convoys along with the ground forces.
"The Air Force is pretty heavily involved. There's about 23,000 troops over there � 23,000 airmen over there that are working," he said.
"The other thing that most people aren't aware of is we're dropping bombs almost every day," Elder said. But he said few newspapers have reported that information.
"There are some days that go by without bombs being dropped � there aren't any weeks that go by without bombs being dropped," he said.
"There's a lot of things going on that would indicate your U.S. Air Force is highly engaged."
