In July 1951 General Creech was assigned as a flight commander at Luke Air Force Base near Phoenix, Arizona, where, for the next two and one-half years, he taught advanced gunnery to students from 14 nations.

In June 1960 General Creech was named director of operations, USAF Fighter Weapons School at Nellis Air Force Base, Las Vegas, Nevada, where he served until February 1962.

General Creech transferred to the Republic of Vietnam in November 1968 as deputy commander for operations of the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing, Phu Cat Air Base.

The Electronic Systems Division manages the complex development and acquisition of command, control and communications equipment to meet the worldwide needs of the USAF and other Department of Defense agencies.

He championed the 'roll back' doctrine that focused on the suppression of enemy air defense as the initial priority, progressing from the front to the enemy's rear area to remove the threat to attacking aircraft and reduce the need for the low-level penetration tactics otherwise required to evade integrated air defense systems.

Other examples were the AGM-65D Maverick all-weather imaging infrared ground-attack missile and the LANTIRN integrated navigation and targeting system.

Creech kept in place the realistic training program implemented under his predecessor Robert J. Dixon's leadership, but with an added emphasis on flight safety.

At the time of the destruction, the families of the pilots and NBC had already demanded access to the tapes as part of a suit against Northrop Corporation and a Freedom of Information Act request, respectively.
