During World War II, the Army Air Force established Rosecrans Field, also called St. Joseph Army Air Field [http://www.airforcebase.net/aaf/wwiidata.html] , at Rosecrans Memorial Airport. The Ferrying Division, Air Transport Command took over the field on July 6, 1942. It became the home for the 1st Operational Training Unit (OTU) composed of the 561st Army Air Force (AAF) Base Unit, Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, 61st Aircraft Engineering Squadron, 993rd Guard Squadron, 730th AAF Band, 50th Transport Transition Squadron, Medical and WAC Detachments and the 562nd Training Squadron.
In 1948, the base was conveyed by the Air Force back to the City of Saint Joseph, Missouri with the exception of 142 acres set aside for use by the Air National Guard organized in 1946. Some of the old temporary WWII barracks were still present until the Great Flood of 1993 when they were destroyed.
