Beyond the Headline CENTCOM | 10 Tampa Bay

Tampa has been a strategic military location since the late 1800's. Back in 1898, long before there were any permanent structures, the area was a major staging location for troops shipping out to Cuba during the Spanish-American war. Fast forward to 1939: Tampa was selected as one of several locations for new military airfields. MacDill Air Field was officially activated on April 16, 1941. It was used to train airmen to fly bomber aircraft, then fighters. In the 1990s MacDill transitioned to air-refueling missions and is now home to "6th Air Mobility Wing" and the "927th Air Refueling Wing" to support missions all around the world. But it's home to much more housing 34 mission partners including the critical combat commands of U.S. Special Operations or SOCOM, which oversees special operations across all U.S. military commands and U.S. Central Command or CENTCOM, activated in January of 1983 by President Ronald Reagan. Take a look, as the name implies, it covers the "central" area of the globe and has the task of overseeing U.S. operations in some of the most conflict-ridden regions of Asia and the Middle East including Syria, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. Right now, the command says roughly 900 servicemembers are in Syria and even more operating in the region. Approximately 52,000 U.S. troops are in CENTCOM's Area of Responsibility or AOR. A number that changes constantly as forces flow in and out of the region. NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? Hi! We’re 10 Tampa Bay, the CBS affiliate serving the Tampa Bay area.
