===721st Mobile Command and Control Squadron===
The '''721st Mobile Command and Control Squadron''' ('''721 MCCS''') was reassigned from the 721st Support Group ([[Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station]]), to the 90th Operations Group, 90th Space Wing ([[FE Warren AFB]]) on 1 July 1999.<ref>AFSPC Special Order GD-017, 6 July 1999</ref> The 153 CACS inherited equipment and mission from the 721 MCCS when the latter unit was inactivated in 1998.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3731/is_200208/ai_n9137599 |title=National Guard: "Air Guard outfit takes steps toward the 'Fourth Dimension'" |publisher=Findarticles.com |access-date
===Logo Significance===
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
Both the color red and the horn tie the '''721 MCCS''' to an early medieval legend, that of "[[Roland]] and the Horn" at the Battle of [[Roncevalles]] in 778. [[Charlemagne]], king of the Franks, began to return home to [[France]] across the [[Pyrenees Mountains]] while Sir [[Roland]] guarded the rear of his army some distance behind. If ambushed by the enemy, [[Roland]] had been instructed to blow the trumpet and [[Charlemagne]] would charge to his assistance. [[Roland]] was indeed attacked, and in overwhelming numbers. [[Roland]] faced a terrible decision: if he called in [[Charlemagne]]'s forces, all of the army faced destruction, or if he did not sound the trumpet [[Charlemagne]] and the main army would continue to safety while he and his tiny command would surely die. Gallantly, [[Roland]] and his men put the war horn away and prepared to make their last stand. The next day [[Charlemagne]] learned of the [[:wikt:valiant|valiant]] deed and named Sir [[Roland]] the greatest of his [[knights]].<ref>721 MCCS Significance Statement, Dr. David L.
