ABOUT:
Major General Paul R. Stoney, former Commander of the Air Force Communications Command, in a 1986 oral history interview, recounted an example of how leaders in theater regarded the 1st Mobile Communications Group: "I remember General Westmoreland coming back from a trip from Vietnam for a hearing before congress or something and decided to stop by Scott AFB. General Estes was running MAC then. I went down on the ramp to meet General Klocko who was coming in from someplace else and here was General Westmoreland. Of course, here I was gaping at General Westmoreland and I heard him say to General Estes, 'There's one person I want to meet on this base - the guy who's responsible for those black-hatters.' Because he says, 'you see them all over Vietnam.' So I stood up and said, 'Well, I'm your guy.' So he was just all over himself about the responsiveness of the mobile people to the needs of various commanders in Southeast Asia. And I think by hook or crook and sweat and ingenuity on the part of our people many times, rather than by any really equipping them to meet the thing. They met the contingencies they had to face by ingenuity and hard work and by hook or by crook we did it."
