Download or read book Aerospace power in the twenty first century a basic primer written by Clayton K. S. Chun and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Chun's Aerospace Power in the Twenty-First Century: A Basic Primer is a great start towards understanding the importance of aerospace power and its ability to conduct modern warfare. Aerospace power is continually changing because of new technology, threats, and air and space theories. However, many basic principles about aerospace power have stood the test of time and warfare. This book provides the reader with many of these time-tested ideas for consideration and reflection. Although Aerospace Power in the Twenty-First Century was written for future officers, individuals desiring a broad overview of aerospace power are invited to read, share, and discuss many of the ideas and thoughts presented here. Officers from other services will find that this introduction to air and space forces will give them a good grasp of aerospace power. More experienced aerospace leaders can use this book to revisit many of the issues that have affected air and space forces in the past and that might affect them in the future. Air Force officers will discover that Aerospace Power in the Twenty-First Century is a very timely and reflective resource for their professional libraries.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aerospace Force: Defending America in the 21st Century is a white paper and a key pillar to the new Air Force Vision. At the dawn of the new millennium, the Air Force is directing its strategic vision to meet the nation's requirements within a rapidly changing world. As a key pillar to the strategic vision, this document presents the Air Force view of the future of aerospace power. It pays tribute to those who led the Air Force into the air and then into space, and challenges the leaders of the next generation to take advantage of the synergies inherent in aerospace capabilities. It provides the conceptual foundation for the full spectrum aerospace force and establishes the context for the Aerospace Integration Plan that outlines the next steps the Air Force will take on its aerospace journey. The message of The Aerospace Force applies to the entire Air Force community, but this document is primarily for those of you who will be a part of, and will lead, the Air Force in the 21st Century. To succeed as tomorrow's aerospace leaders, your charge is to continue molding our air and space capabilities into a seamless force. Your support in the integration of air and space systems will lead to advances in our warfighting capabilities, new concepts of operations, and new technologies throughout the aerospace continuum. Your legacy will be a full spectrum aerospace force that is organized, trained, and equipped to control and exploit the aerospace continuum. It is our mission and our future-take us there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Air Force has embarked on a process of reshaping itself to better meet the demands of the new strategic environment. This new environment presents challenges that are quite different from those the service faced when it came of age during the Cold War. In that struggle, the adversary was well known, and the theaters of operation were identified and defended with permanently stationed forces. Today's challenges are more diverse, and in many respects more unpredictable. There are both "pop-up" contingencies in places where the Air Force has rarely before operated and continuing "steady-state" regional security commitments far from any Air Force main operating base (MOB). This has forced a new mode of operation on the Air Force, one that has required frequent deployments of personnel and aircraft to austere forward operating locations. Not being structured to operate continuously in this way, the Air Force has had to pay a price for supporting these forward operations, a price that has been reflected in lower personnel retention rates and lower overall readiness. The service is responding to these challenges by reorganizing itself into an Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF). This reorganization represents an historic transition for the Air Force from a military service that has chiefly performed its mission by operating from MOBs to one that can quickly and easily project sizable forces overseas to austere and unanticipated locations, and sustain them there indefinitely. The research described in this report was conducted within the Aerospace Force Development Program of Project AIR FORCE, as part of a project entitled "Implementing an Effective Air Expeditionary Force." It was cosponsored by the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Air and Space Operations (AF/XO) and the Deputy Chief of Staff for Installations and Logistics (AF/IL).
Download or read book Aerospace power the case for indivisible application written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1986 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air power doctrine is comprised of both a formal literature such as the Army's Field Manual lO0-2O, Command and Employment of Air Power (published during World War II), or today's Air Force Manual 1-1, Basic Aerospace Doctrine of the United States Air Force, and an informal and uncodified set of doctrinal perceptions that, although they are not in the official literature, affect the way our military forces do business. This second category, the unofficial doctrine, represents a sort of corporate consensus of "how we really do business" and is generally based on a combination of "real world" observations and political necessity. This study addressed just such an unofficial doctrine. A persistent legacy of the World War II era of strategic bombardment and the postwar requirement for nuclear deterrence is the association of long-range combat aircraft (bombers) with the strategic nuclear mission and, conversely, the assumption that the far more likely nonnuclear conflicts will be handled by the "tactical" elements of our aerospace forces, our fighters. This study offers a serious alternative to this "aerospace folklore." The proposals put forth here are based on the indivisible air power concept which suggests that strategic and tactical classifications are purely transitory and depend on how a weapon is used, not on its size, speed, range, payload, employment medium (space or air), or service or command affiliation. The doctrinal framework presented in this study, if applied to all our aerospace systems, should result in a far more flexible aerospace force structure, one that gets the most from our increasingly expensive and limited assets. More important, it should improve our ability to rapidly respond to global crisis and conflict and to apply the appropriate level of force at the right place and the right time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report addresses support of emerging Air Force employment strategies associated with Expeditionary Aerospace Forces (EAFs). Although much work remains to define these new responsibilities and prepare Air Force units to meet them, it is clear that the EAF concepts will play a central role in the future Air Force. FAF concepts turn on the premise that rapidly tailorable, quickly deployable, immediately employable, and highly effective air and space force packages can serve as a viable substitute for permanent forward presence in both the strategic and the tactical arenas. Success of the EAF will, to a great extent, depend on the effectiveness and efficiency of the Agile Combat Support (ACS) system.
