firefighter Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted May 11, 2017 Dynalectron (1962–1987) By 1961, California Eastern Aviation needed a new name to reflect the growing and diversifying company. The name "Dynalectron Corporation" was selected from 5,000 employee suggestions. In 1976, Dynalectron established their headquarters in McLean, Virginia. Due to its growing size, the company restructured into four main operating groups: Specialty Contracting, Energy, Government Services, and Aviation Services. In the 30 years following the foundation of CEA, Dynalectron had acquired 19 companies in 30 years, had assets of $88 million, maintained a backlog of $250 million, employed 7,000, and had annual sales of $300 million. In 1964, Dynalectron diversified into the energy services business with the acquisition of Hydrocarbon Research, Inc. Through this acquisition, Dynalectron developed a process called H-Coal, which converted coal into synthetic liquid fuels. The work began to attract national attention with the Arab Oil Embargos of the 1970s. By the early 1980s, Texaco Inc., Ruhrkohle AG, and C. Itoh & Co. were all marketing Dynalectron's H-Oil process. Between 1976 and 1981, the company had two public stock offerings and acquired another 14 companies. By 1986, Dynaelectron was one of the largest defense contractors in North America.

atb Posted May 24, 2017 Share #12 Posted May 24, 2017 The 1st Brigade 5th Infantry Division "US Army Correspondent" patch was more likely worn by a soldier journalist, not a civilian. I forget the exact MOS designation (71 series), but they trained at Ft. Benjamin Harrison I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
