Book excerpt: This Air Force Doctrine Document (AFDD) establishes doctrinal guidance for combat support to air and space forces across the full range of military operations. "Combat Support" is the keystone document addressing the full spectrum of agile combat support functions that operate in peace and in war. It stresses the need for tailored combat support packages with the Airmen, facilities, equipment, and supplies required for supporting Air Force forces. Air and space forces respond to global taskings within hours. The support for these forces must be equally responsive. This is the challenging job of combat support, the foundation of air and space power. Air and space expeditionary task forces employment capabilities demand rapid positioning of force packages to achieve combat, peacekeeping, counterdrug, and nation building effects. Air Force agile combat support capabilities are provided by people and organizations responsible for planning, programming, and sustaining the forces; determining who and what are deployed; as well as how they arrive and return home safely. Agile combat support is an Air Force distinctive capability that touches every functional area and is key to meeting the US Air Force's mission to organize, train, equip, and employ air and space power. The dedicated support of our people makes agile combat support a reality. The goal of agile combat support is to provide the most capable air and space forces to combatant commanders.

Download or read book Air Force Annex 4 0 Combat Support January 2020 written by United States Government Us Air Force and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. Air Force Doctrine Annex 4-0 Combat Support January 2020 guides us to effectively organize and employ through the complexities of counterinsurgency and steady-state operations, and help us re-learn the lessons of large-scale peer and near-peer conflict in contested environments. As we continuously improve our airpower capabilities and capacities in air, space, and cyberspace, our ability to revolutionize CS operations and incorporate new concepts and technologies will identify the new best practices that shape future CS doctrine. Joint military operations across the competition continuum is always a consideration when determining the best practices for our Air Force; consideration of peer and near-peer competition is a continuing necessity for doctrine as the Air Force supports the joint fight. Every Airman is an innovator and is integral to this continuous development process - we must all connect, share, and learn together to succeed. The Air Force defines CS as the foundational and crosscutting capability to field, base, protect, support, and sustain Air Force forces during military operations across the competition continuum. This definition meets the Service's needs for an overarching doctrinal perspective on CS. The nation's ability to project and sustain airpower depends on effective CS. CS enables airpower through the integration of its functional communities to provide the core effects, core processes, and core capabilities required to execute the Air Force mission. The integration of these functional communities ensures Air Force forces are ready, postured, equipped, employed, and sustained at the right place and time to support the joint force. Future CS operations in a contested environment against a peer or near-peer adversary will require the air component to be more adaptive, resilient, and agile in its deployment and employment plans and leadership philosophies. The Air Force should be ready to provide resilient and redundant combat support capabilities in an environment of peer competition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on U.S. Air Force combat support, or logistics, doctrine, where it is today, and where it should be headed in the immediate future. The basic premise is that the post-Desert Storm environment, combined with recent significant changes in U.S. military strategy and the U.S. Air Force organizational environment, make the present an opportune time to review and update combat support doctrine. A brief history of the development of combat support doctrine is presented, followed by a review of some doctrinal lessons from military history that may be applicable to revisions in current combat support doctrine. Finally, the author provides some suggestions for how the U.S. Air Force should proceed with reviewing and updating its combat support doctrine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the formulation of doctrine since World War II. In no comparable period in history have the dimensions of the battlefield been so altered by rapid technological changes. The need for the tactical doctrines of the Army to remain correspondingly abreast of these changes is thus more pressing than ever before. Future conflicts are not likely to develop in the leisurely fashions of the past where tactical doctrines could be refined on the battlefield itself. It is, therefore, imperative that we apprehend future problems with as much accuracy as possible. One means of doing so is to pay particular attention to the business of how the Army's doctrine has developed historically, with a view to improving methods of future development.

Download or read book The Reactions and Attitudes Displayed by Air Force Officers to the Combat Support Doctrine written by Linda K. Smariga and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine a group of officers, reactions and attitudes towards AFM 2-15, the Combat Support Doctrine. Specifically, the study attempted to find if (1) The Combat Support Doctrine was understandable and meaningful to these officers; and to determine (2) If the doctrine was not understandable and meaningful to these same officers, was the problem the actual doctrine itself, or was the problem related more to the institution; the Air Force. That is, was the problem related more to the fact that the Air Force does not emphasize the study of doctrine. The data was collected by a survey developed for this study. The research found that the Combat Support Doctrine was understandable to these officers, but that it was not equally as meaningful to these same officers. There was no conclusive evidence that the doctrine itself was at fault, but the research did show that the Air Force does not emphasize the study of doctrine on a regular basis. Doctrine is only presented, usually in a brief format, at commissioning sources, and more in depth at professional military education schools, in residence.

Download or read book Force Protection Air Force Doctrine Document AFDD 3 10 written by U.s. Air Force and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-11-07 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Force Doctrine Document (AFDD) 3-10, “Force Protection,” is the Air Force's operational level doctrinal publication on force protection. Force protection supports the core function of Agile Combat Support, and its supporting capability of “Protect the Force.” Protecting Air Force personnel and resources is critical to the Service's ability to perform its mission. Due to the increased lethality of international and domestic threats, it is imperative the Air Force take strong measures to protect our personnel and installations, both at home and abroad. How the Air Force protects its forces is critical to global engagement. An air and space expeditionary task force poised to respond to global taskings within hours must establish the means and will to fully protect its forces. Commanders at all levels must have an effective force protection program. Commanders are responsible for protecting their people and the warfighting resources necessary to perform any military operation. We are obligated by the moral necessity of protecting our Airmen to ensure force protection is a part of Air Force culture. The Air Force must continue to develop and refine doctrine that promotes the most effective way to achieve force protection. Understanding and using this doctrine will help ensure the successful protection of our people and resources. Chapter 1, Force Protection Fundamentals, defines force protection for the Air Force and describes how the Air Force views force protection as compared to the multinational and joint views. It describes the basic features of force protection and provides a description of the military challenges faced by commanders and Airmen responsible for force protection, the unique perspective they provide, and general procedures that guide their actions. Chapter 2, Command Responsibilities for Force Protection, describes command relationships when addressing force protection concerns and illustrates how Air Force forces are presented to a joint force commander as part of the commander of Air Force forces' air and space expeditionary task force. It also shows how these relationships integrate into ongoing operations conducted by other national-level US government agencies and host nation counterparts, and describes legal considerations for force protection. Chapter 3, Threats and Hazards to the Air Force Mission, describes the many threats and hazards faced by Air Force personnel and identifies the various levels of threat that exist throughout the range of military operations. It further discusses Department of Defense terrorism threat levels assessed by the Defense Intelligence Agency as well as force protection conditions as used by geographic combatant commanders. It provides a discussion of threat objectives and hazard effects. Chapter 4, Force Protection Planning, introduces risk management as a process to assist decision makers in reducing or offsetting risks. It gives an overview of the process; identifies the goals, key aspects, and principle concepts of the process; and provides general guidelines for applying the process. The chapter discusses force protection planning considerations, describing the direct relationship between force protection and risk management. Chapter 5, The Force Protection Community, discusses the concepts of integrated defense, emergency management, the critical infrastructure program, and force protection effects.
Download or read book Trial By Fire Forging American Close Air Support Doctrine World War I Through September 1944 written by Major Philip W. Wielhouwer and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proper doctrine for close support of American ground forces by airpower has been a tumultuous issue since the first days of combat aircraft. Air and ground leaders struggled with interservice rivalry, parochialism, employment paradigms, and technological roadblocks while seeking the optimum balance of missions given the unique speed, range, and flexibility of aircraft. Neither ground force concepts of airpower as self-defense and extended organic artillery, nor air force theories focused on command of the air and strategic attack fit the middle ground of close air support (CAS), leaving a doctrinal void prior to American combat in World War II. This thesis focuses on the critical period from September 1939 through the doctrinal and practical crucible of North Africa, which eventually produced a resoundingly successful system. Theoretical and practical changes in organization and command, airpower roles, and the tactical air control system are examined, with subarea focus on cooperation and communications technology. Upon examination, discerning leadership, able to transcend earlier compromises and failures, emerges as the essential element for CAS success during the war. While many airpower concepts proved valid, air-ground cooperation through liaison proved indispensable, a lesson repeated even today.
