Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Air Force Statistical Digest has been published each year since 1948. Over the years, while the Digest has had several changes in format, the original purpose for publishing it has not changed. The purpose has been, and will continue to be, to compile each fiscal year a single authoritative archival document providing a statistical description of the Air Force in terms of resources, organizations, and major activity parameters. Public affairs officials, scholarly researchers, planners, and many other persons who require a historical description of each year of the Air Force's existence have found the Digest to be an invaluable addition to their information reference sources. This FY1991 Statistical Digest returns to an earlier format containing only actuals and no projections for the future that most always in the past when included in the Digest changed soon after publication. We have also completely reformatted most of the tabular and graphic presentations of data.

Download or read book Storm Over Iraq written by Richard Hallion and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incisive account of the Persian Gulf War, Storm Over Iraq shows how the success of Operation Desert Storm was the product of two decades of profound changes in the American approach to defense, military doctrine, and combat operations. The first detailed analysis of why the Gulf War could be fought the way it was, the book examines the planning and preparation for war. Richard P. Hallion argues that the ascendancy of precision air power in warfare—which fulfilled the promise that air power had held for more than seventy-five years—reflects the revolutionary adaptation of a war strategy that targets things rather than people, allowing one to control an opposing nation without destroying it.
Download or read book Eagles Overhead written by Matt Dietz and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2023-02-15 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US Air Force Forward Air Controllers (FACs) bridge the gap between air and land power. They operate in the grey area of the battlefield, serving as an aircrew who flies above the battlefield, spots the enemy, and relays targeting information to control close air support attacks by other faster aircraft. When done well, Air Force FACs are the fulcrum for successful employment of air power in support of ground forces. Unfortunately, FACs in recent times have been shunned by both ground and air forces, their mission complicated by inherent difficulty and danger, as well as by the vicissitudes of defense budgets, technology, leadership, bureaucracy, and doctrine. Eagles Overhead is the first complete historical survey of the US Air Force FAC program from its origins in World War I to the modern battlefield. Matt Dietz examines their role, status, and performance in every US Air Force air campaign from the Marne in 1918, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and finally Mosul in 2017. With the remaking of the post-Vietnam US military, and the impact of those changes on FAC, the Air Force began a steady neglect of the FAC mission from Operation Desert Storm, through the force reductions after the Soviet Union’s collapse, and into the post 9-11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Eagles Overhead asks why FACs have not been heavily used on US battlefields since 2001, despite their warfighting importance. Dietz examines the Air Force FAC’s theoretical, doctrinal, institutional, and historical frameworks to assess if the nature of air warfare has changed so significantly that the concept and utility of the FAC has been left behind. From these examinations, Eagles Overhead draws conclusions about the potential future of Air Force FACs.

Download or read book The Cold War Defense of the United States written by John E Bronson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-04-26 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Cold War, as part of its defense strategy against the Soviet Union, the U.S. was forced to establish means of massive long-range attack in response to Soviet advancements in weaponry. These defenses detected and tracked manned bomber aircraft, hostile submarines and missiles launched from the other side of the world. This book shows how these defenses evolved from fledgling stop-gap measures into a complex fabric of interconnected combinations of high-tech equipment over 40 years. Maps illustrate the extent of the geographic coverage required for these warning and response systems and charts display the time frames and vast numbers of both people and equipment that made up these forces.

Download or read book USAF Statistical Digest Abridged 1991 Estimate written by Office of Air Force History and U S Air and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us have been and are being affected by the new international environment--changed perceptions of the threat, negotiated reductions in conventional and strategic arms, shrinking defense budgets, and, consequently, a smaller Air Force with fewer resources. We in the Secretariat are no exception. As a result of declining resources, it was imperative that we consolidate our publications. Our new document, the USAF Statistical Digest, is a consolidation of three previous publications: the USAF Summary, Budget Book, and Budget Book in Brief. Please note that there have been no substantive changes to the information previously provided. A great deal of redundancy existed when we published the aforementioned three books. This has been eliminated. In addition, the USAF Statistical Digest has been reformatted to enable users to more easily find the information contained therein. Also, the charts and tables are now created using state of the art graphics. They should be more legible and thus, more useful. The time required to prepare the USAF Statistical Digest has been decreased substantially. All in all, we are proud of the improvements, the refinement of the production process, the reduction in production costs, and the final product.

Download or read book Planning for Protraction written by Iskander Rehman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-09 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Sino-US relations have deteriorated, concerns have grown in Washington over its ability to defeat China in a major conflict. A conflict between such peer competitors would likely become a protracted war of attrition drawing on all dimensions of national power, but this reality has yet to receive a sufficient degree of analytical attention. In this Adelphi book, Iskander Rehman provides a historically informed and empirically grounded study of protracted great-power war, its core drivers and characteristics, and an examination of the elements that have most often determined a competitor’s long-term strategic performance. Final victory in a protracted conflict, this book argues, rests on a combination of three core factors: a state’s military effectiveness and adaptability, its socio-economic power and resiliency, and the soundness of its alliance management and grand strategy. A detailed analysis of the contemporary Sino-US rivalry assesses how both parties might fare in the event of a protracted war, while highlighting some of its key differentiating aspects – most notably its nuclear and cyber dimensions.
