Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, control of the air has been a prerequisite to success for modern operations or campaigns because it prevents enemy air and missile threats from effectively interfering with operations of friendly air, land, maritime, space, and special operations forces, facilitating freedom of action and movement. Joint air operations are normally conducted using centralized control and decentralized execution to achieve effective control and foster initiative, responsiveness, and flexibility. When contemplating command and control (C2) options for joint air operations within the operational area, the joint force commander (JFC) can choose to exercise C2 through a functional component commander by designating a joint force air component commander (JFACC), one of the Service component commanders, or the joint force staff. Many factors will weigh on the JFC's selection-most notably the type and availability of forces and capabilities to accomplish the assigned mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the achievement of the principle of unity of effort from a narrow focus on the command and control of U.S. joint tactical air operations in four campaigns (Midway, the Solomons, Korea, and Vietnam) from 1942 to 1968 and extracts some lessons for future joint air operations. The authors distinguish between unity of effort and unity of command, a distinction that manifests itself in individual service doctrines, in joint operations, and, ultimately, in each of the Services' views of war. While unity of command is one of several steps necessary to achieve unity of effort, the authors recommend that debate should be centered around the accomplishment of unity of effort. The research was completed before the onset of combat operations in Kuwait and Iraq in early 1991. The authors hope to extend the analysis to cover that campaign in a subsequent publication.

Download or read book Command and Control of Joint Air Operations Through Mission Command written by Trent R. Carpenter and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to effectively command and control (C2) joint air operations in a contested and degraded environment, the concept and principles of mission command must be instilled into the U.S. Air Force and joint C2 culture. To do this, the operational and tactical level commanders must build a vital foundation of trust. Operational level commanders must create a shared understanding of campaign objectives and accordingly provide well-defined, clear intent which guides tactical level commanders in exercising disciplined and educated initiative. Furthermore, the use of mission type orders will facilitate decentralized execution and initiative in conjunction with assumption and acceptance of prudent risk. It is also critical to develop and employ an effective C2 architecture to lead joint air operations through mission command. However, it is even more critical for commanders to develop and employ a philosophy that enables a vital culture of trust, without which, mission command and effective joint air operations cannot succeed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With the current downsizing of the U.S. military putting a premium on joint response to threats, this landmark study of joint U.S. air operations over the past fifty years provides timely information on a topic of vital concern. The most comprehensive single-volume discussion available, it examines six major air campaigns - Midway, the Solomon Islands, Korea, Vietnam, El Dorado Canyon (Libya), and Desert Storm - in a search for lessons learned that might be applied in the planning and organizing of future joint operations." "The focus of the book is on the differences - at times bitter acrimony - among the services on the control and employment of theater air forces. With each service having an "air force" of its own, each with a distinctive doctrine, the study confirms that their views are often diametrically opposite and that joint doctrine has been slow to evolve." "The authors, RAND Corporation analysts, are refreshingly objective and clear in addressing the problems and issues that continue to hamper effective joint air operations but point to the progress shown in Desert Storm, as indicated by their interviews with some fifty airmen, planners, and major commanders of the operation. Their recommendations for the future take advantage of the diversity inherent in U.S. air power while minimizing sources of disharmony." "Based on a RAND study published in 1991, this book has been expanded and revised to appeal to a broader audience and promises to stimulate discussion and debate on how to optimize the effectiveness of U.S. forces facing cuts in funding. It is must reading not only for military professionals but for military history enthusiasts and everyone interested in the nature of America's future air battles."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1. Scope This publication provides joint doctrine for the command and control of joint air operations across the range of military operations. 2. Purpose This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations and provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for US military involvement in multinational operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs) and prescribes joint doctrine for operations, education, and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall objective. 3. Application a. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the joint staff, commanders of combatant commands, subunified commands, joint task forces, subordinate components of these commands, and the Services. b. The guidance in this publication is authoritative; as such, this doctrine will be followed except when, in the judgment of the commander, exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise. If conflicts arise between the contents of this publication and the contents of Service publications, this publication will take precedence unless the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, normally in coordination with the other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has provided more current and specific guidance. Commanders of forces operating as part of a multinational (alliance or coalition) military command should follow multinational doctrine and procedures ratified by the United States. For doctrine and procedures not ratified by the United States, commanders should evaluate and follow the multinational command's doctrine and procedures, where applicable and consistent with US law, regulations, and doctrine.

Book excerpt: This study provides the reader with a historical overview of the command and control of United States air assets during joint operations. It traces the evolution of the role of the Joint Force Air Component Commander to include mission, function, roles, and structure that are essential to the Joint Force Commander for planning, coordinating, and controlling his combat air power. It provides view of the issues arising from interservice command and control procedures. These issues are derived from joint air operations that include Army ground based air-defense systems, United States Air Forces aircraft, United States Marine Corps Aviation Task Force, and Naval Carrier Task Force aircraft. The study draws on current join publications on command and control of the Joint Force Commander's air assets. Each service's doctrine on the planning, coordination, allocation, and tasking of air assets in a theater of operations is reviewed. Other documents, letters, memos, and papers that relate to the study further classify the interservice issues of disagreement. Army Air Defense Commanders should be aware of the issues because they fight in a joint force and may be under the command and control of either a USAF, Naval, or Marine Corps Air Component Commander.

Book excerpt: "When appropriate, the U.S. Air Force needs to be prepared to supply joint task force (JTF) headquarters. If the U.S. Air Force takes the steps necessary to produce JTF-capable units, both the service and the nation would benefit. The authors consider the nature of JTF command, survey command-related developments in other services and in other elements of the defense community, and examine four JTF operations. They raise issues for the Air Force to consider and offer a set of recommendations aimed at enhancing the Air Force's ability to staff and run JTF headquarters."--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book Mission type Orders in Joint Air Operations written by Michael E. Fischer and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force's current doctrinal maxims of centralized control and decentralized execution have the potential to produce over-centralized planning at the theater Air Operations Center; the result of this tendency is a cumbersome air tasking order and a campaign vulnerable to lost communications, information overload, and decapitation. One cure for such problems is the decentralization of tactical planning through the use of mission-type orders at the wing or air task force level. Mission-type orders include a clear statement of the superior commander's intent and state each unit's tasks in terms of operational effects to be achieved over several days rather than daily targets and aimpoints.
Download or read book Reenabling Air Force Command and Control for Twenty first Century Partnerships written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is time for Airmen to reenable the command and control (C2) of air operations as part of a joint force in today's complex security environment. Earlier this year, the Joint Staff released the latest version of Joint Publication (JP) 3-30, Command and Control for Joint Air Operations. Like all doctrine, JP 3-30's publication marks both an end and a beginning. The product is the culmination of a joint process by which Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines synthesized their experience and understanding of air and space C2 to provide future joint force commanders and staffs authoritative options. It codifies several important concepts, such as organizing with both theater and subtheater joint force air component commanders (JFACC), the role of air component coordination elements, considerations for the C2 of remotely piloted aircraft, and the potential for assigning JFACCs responsibilities for space-coordinating authority. However, the publication of JP 3-30 also signals the start of its revision. Transformation in the information age requires continuous improvement, and our dynamic Air Force strives to maintain the leading edge in the domains of air, space, and cyberspace. So, as today's version of JP 3-30 shapes how our joint forces command and control current air operations, we challenge our Airmen to renew the conversation onhow best to command and control air, space, and cyberspace forces for tomorrow's joint fight.
