The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) was the military aviation arm of the United States of America between 1926 and 1941.
 After World War I, as early aviation became an increasingly important part of modern warfare, a philosophical rift developed between more traditional ground-based army personnel and those who felt that aircraft were being underutilized and that air operations were being stifled for political reasons unrelated to their effectiveness.
 The USAAC was renamed from the earlier United States Army Air Service on 2 July 1926, and was part of the larger United States Army.
 The Air Corps became the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) on 20 June 1941, giving it greater autonomy from the Army's middle-level command structure.
 During World War II, although not an administrative echelon, the Air Corps (AC) remained as one of the combat arms of the Army until 1947, when it was legally abolished by legislation establishing the Department of the Air Force. Jon Burge
Jon Graham Burge (born December 20, 1947) is a convicted felon and former Chicago Police Department detective and commander who gained notoriety for torturing more than 200 criminal suspects between 1972 and 1991 in order to force confessions.
 A decorated United States Army veteran, Burge served tours in South Korea and Vietnam and continued as an enlisted United States Army Reserve soldier where he served in the military police.
 When he returned to the South Side of Chicago, he began his career as a police officer, achieving the rank of commander.
 Beginning in the 1970s, allegations were made that Burge and those under his command used physical assault and torture to coerce confessions.
 Eventually, hundreds of similar claims were made. John R. Deane Jr.

James Hawkins, from Maysville, Kentucky, was a Battlefield commissioned Second lieutenant and field operations leader of the United States Army Tiger Force commando unit, 1st Battalion (Airborne), 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade (Separate), 101st Airborne Division, during the Vietnam War.
 The unit was featured in the Pulitzer Prize winning book "," written by "Toledo Blade" reporters Michael D. Sallah and Mitch Weiss (the Pulitzer Prize included a third "Blade" reporter Joe Mahr).
 The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command investigated the Tiger Force for "atrocities," including torture, maiming, rape, and murder of unarmed villagers, including babies, children, and the elderly, during operations in the Song Ve Valley.
 The Army did not file charges against Tiger Force soldiers, including their acting platoon leader, Hawkins.
 The investigations into the atrocities committed by Tiger Force occurred after reports and investigations into atrocities by United States Army soldiers in the My Lai Massacre.
 Hawkins attributes the lack of charges to the timing of the investigation after My Lai and the potential for additional bad "publicity." Sereno E. Brett
