First Air Force Combat Action Medals to be presented
Gen. T. Michael Moseley, the Air Force chief of staff, is scheduled to present the Air Force Combat Action Medal for the first time to six Airmen during an 8 a.m. ceremony June 12 at the Air Force Memorial in Arlington, Va. The Air Force Combat Action Medal was designed by Susan Gamble, an artist and master designer for the U.S. Mint, in conjunction with the Army Institute of Heraldry. The design of the new medal was inspired by a personal insignia Brig. Gen. William "Billy" Mitchell, one of the military's earliest advocates of air power, had painted on the aircraft he flew over the St. Mihiel while developing plans for the first major American offensive of World War I.
