Retired Col. Billy D. Bouldin was awarded the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Pioneer award during the Twentynine Palms City Council on Sept. 25. Bouldin was the first recipient of the award for his hard work and contributions in helping build the Combat Center in its early years. His first visit to the Combat Center was in 1952. Bouldin returned in 1975 when he oversaw construction of the Combat Center's expeditionary airfield. The initial six-month construction ended in the early months of 1976 and allowed a variety of aircraft previously unable to land on the dry lake bed to come to the Combat Center for training. Bouldin served as the chief of staff from 1975-1979.
