Show Hill AFB Continued From Page 4D Hill Field officially became Hill Air Force Base that year as the Air Force began operation as a seperate branch of the service. Like other military bases, however, Hill faced an uncertain postwar future. Hill Field commander Col. Frank D. Hackett, reassured his base.

The base received a boost into the modern jet age when it was assigned the task of modifying the 9 Scorpion, and continued later with the maintenance of the 4 To handle and the jet aircraft, a new 13,500-foo- t heavy duty runway was built in 1957. In 1955, Hill AFB and the old Ogden Arsenal located on the west complex of the base were combined.

In Jan. 1959, the Ogden Air Logistics Command was selected to be the manager of the Minuteman missile. This assured the base of much continued support from the government. By the end of 1959, there were nearly 12,000 civilians and 1,000 military people assigned to Hill.

As 1969 ended, there were 20,838 personnel with a payroll of $183 million. Many key Air Force units moved to Hill in the 1970's.
