Maintaining an effective and fully functional Bombardment Group depended upon a strong back-bone of organization in a whole range of tasks necessary to support not only the aircrews but the efficient day to day running of the airbase. As well as the Squadron air mechanics who ensured the aircraft were serviceable, there were personnel engaged in such activities as Mission preparation (Group Operations, Intelligence, Briefing, Communications Office, Engineering Sections, Ordnance Section, Armament Section, Weather Section, Photo Section, Flying Control, Medical Officer, Motor Pool, Mess Hall, Personnel Equipment, Military Police, Radar Section, and Chaplains). Other units and sections include the Quartermaster Stores, Base Defense, Administrative, Sick Quarters, American Red Cross, Personnel, Statistics, and Recreation, to name but a few. Below are featured some of the ground personnel and the tasks they were engaged.
