The 908th Air Refueling Squadron ( Heavy ), and the 70th Munitions Maintenance Squadron designations was unchanged, and component support units ( the 4239th / 449th Airborne Missile Maintenance Squadron ; 4239th / 449th Armament & Electronics Maintenance Squadron ; 4239th / 449th Field Maintenance Squadron ; and the 4239th / 449th Organizational Maintenance Squadron ) underwent the same actions as the newly-established wing.

As a result, the 908th Troop Carrier Group was established with a mission to organize, recruit and train Air Force Reserve personnel in the tactical airlift of airborne forces, their equipment and supplies and delivery of these forces and materials by airdrop, landing or cargo extraction systems.

Amidst plans for receiving the jets, there was yet another change: the 908th would return to the airlift business flying the C-7A Caribou, a twin-engine utility transport.

In December 1971, the 908th was redesignated the 908th Tactical Airlift Group, and the first " Bou " came on board in March 1972.

In 1992 the 908th Tactical Airlift Group was redesignated the 908th Airlift Group ( AG ), reporting directly to Tenth Air Force.

In January 1991, medical support personnel from the 908th Medical Squadron and the 35th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron were activated and deployed in support of Desert Storm.

* Established as 908th Troop Carrier Group, Medium, and activated, on 15 Jan 1963.

The 908th Airlift Wing ( 908 AW ) is a tenant activity and the only operational flying wing at Maxwell.

The only operational flying unit at Maxwell is the Air Force Reserve Command's 908th Airlift Wing ( 908 AW ) and subordinate 357th Airlift Squadron ( 357 AS ), which operates eight C-130H aircraft.

The transition to the new aircraft culminated in May 1987 at the International Airlift Rodeo competition at Pope Air Force Base, N. C., where the 908th placed as first overall C-130 unit in the world, and fourth place overall among all aircraft competing.

Within two days of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, 26 908th Security Forces Squadron ( SFS ) members were called to active duty primarily augmenting the security forces at Maxwell and Gunter in their heightened security efforts.

The 908th Airlift Wing is a C-130 theater airlift unit assigned to Air Force Reserve Command.

When mobilized, the mission of the 908th Airlift Wing is to provide theater airlift forces to the supported theater commander.

: Re-designated as: 908th Airlift Wing on 1 Oct 1994.

* AFHRA 908th Airlift Wing factsheet

The wing consisted of the 93d Bombardment Squadron, consisting of 15 B-52Hs, and the KC-135-equipped 908th Air Refueling Squadron.

908th Airlift Wing's mission is to recruit, organize and train Air Force reservists for active duty in time of war, national emergency or when otherwise required.

There, the 908th built a substantial record of humanitarian airlifts, as well as taking care of regular cargo and mail missions to free Military Airlift Command aircraft committed to Southeast Asia.

On July 16, 1966, a 908th C-119 crashed near Jacksonville, Florida, after losing an engine in a fire.

The 908th would move to Maxwell Air Force Base, Montgomery, Alabama, the following spring and fly the small, twin-engine U-3H, a forward control aircraft.

In its nearly 10 years in the C-7, the 908th won three Air Force Outstanding Unit Awards and dozens of other unit and individual honors.

In October 1983, the 908th converted to C-130E Hercules aircraft.

This winning tradition continued in 2000 with the 908th winning best C-130 / C-160 airdrop aircrew.

Sixty-two members ( doctors, nurses, dentist and lab technicians ) of the 908th Medical Squadron were deployed.

TT was formally defined in terms of Geocentric Coordinate Time ( TCG ), defined by the IAU on the same occasion.

TT was defined to be a linear scaling of TCG, such that the unit of TT is the SI second on the geoid ( Earth surface at mean sea level ).

More precisely, it was defined that TT instant 1977-01-01T00: 00: 32. 184 exactly and TCG instant 1977-01-01T00: 00: 32. 184 exactly correspond to the International Atomic Time ( TAI ) instant 1977-01-01T00: 00: 00. 000 exactly.

For the calculation of ephemerides, TDB was officially recommended to replace ET, but deficiencies were found in the definition of TDB ( though not affecting T < sub > eph </ sub >), and these led to the IAU defining and recommending further time scales, Barycentric Coordinate Time ( TCB ) for use in the solar system as a whole, and Geocentric Coordinate Time ( TCG ) for use in the vicinity of the Earth.

They then started painting graffiti, and were part of a graffiti writer group that was composed of DRC, TCG, 93 MCs and Joey and Kool Shen.

The commander of the 434th TCG was guided to LZ E by a " Eureka " transponding radar beacon set up there by the pathfinders ( the BUPS AN / UPN-1 beacons had been damaged in landing and were inoperable ).

While not trivial dependencies, the original " facilities-based " CLECs such as TCG and MFS were beginning to become profitable by the time the Telecom Act was adopted.

TCB was intended as a replacement for TDB, and TCG was its equivalent for use in near-Earth space.

TCG was defined in 1991 by the International Astronomical Union, in Recommendation III of the XXIst General Assembly.

For continuity with its predecessor Ephemeris Time, TCG was set to match ET at around Julian Date 2443144. 5 ( 1977-01-01T00Z ).

More precisely, it was defined that TCG instant 1977-01-01T00: 00: 32. 184 exactly corresponds to TAI instant 1977-01-01T00: 00: 00. 000 exactly.

A collectible card game based on the film called The Nightmare Before Christmas TCG was released in 2005 by NECA.

In a 2009 retrospective of Pokémon spin-offs, IGN retained their high praise for the game, stating " It was really kind of ridiculous how awesome this game turned out to be ... if there was one spin-off could ask Nintendo to reintroduce, it'd be the TCG game.

The 316th TCG was part of the 52d Troop Carrier Wing.

The mission of the 316th TCG at Cottesmore was to prepare for the invasion of France.

It was once in the ownership of the Scottish & Newcastle Brewery but was bought in 2004 by the Tattershall Castle Group, now known as TCG Acquisitions.

The game was well known to be the only game with a TV show, an online game, and a TCG that were all integrated.

The 51st TCW was a non-flying organisation, controlling the three troop carrier groups at RAF Keevil ( 62nd TCG ), RAF Aldermaston ( 60th TCG ) and RAF Ramsbury ( 64th TCG ) as part of Twelfth Air Force.

For its superior flying skills exhibited in extensive daylight and night training, the 438th TCG was selected to lead the IX Troop Carrier Command force in the American airborne landings in Normandy.

The 61st TCG was part of the 52nd Troop Carrier Wing, IX Troop Carrier Command.
