GERALD MARENICH wrote on May 1, 2012 City and State: SACRAMENTO CA Unit: Service or Relationship: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: Years later, I believe, the 848th, located at Tibetsu, Japan was turned over to the Japanese Air Force, and later became known as Operating Location AB (OLAB) within the command of the 475th Tac Ftr Wing at Misawa Air Base. I was there from Oct 1969 to Oct 1970. I was an Interceptor Controller and in charge of four Lieutenants, and we were there to basically watch the activity and assist the Japanese if anything dire happened and to assist the Japanese controllers if they had any problem controlling the American fighters out of Misawa. Our sister site was located on the big Island closer to Misawa. It was great, we had four Japanese civilians taking care of us. Two of them were cooks, and I never ate as well as I did then. In Oct 1970, the Air Force pulled out of all of the radar sites where they had assigned personnel. Sad, as it was one great remote duty assignment. Keywords:

I base this guess from a group photo taken in 1958. I can see most of the unit designation in the photo. I would appreciate it if someone would be able to shed some light on this organisation. My dad died when I was only 3, so I`m doing some family history research. Thanks, Kenji. Keywords:
