Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Note documents the results of an evaluation of selected management issues associated with the development of the collocated operating base (COB) program in NATO. The COB concept was developed in response to requirements for bedding down the large number of aircraft that the U.S. Air Force will send to Europe to support current contingency plans for augmenting USAFE (U.S. Air Forces in Europe) based in the theater. The research was designed to (1) assess the current status of the COB system of airbases in Europe; (2) evaluate the capability of the COBs, especially their ability to generate and sustain wartime sorties; (3) identify means of enhancing the combat contribution of the COBs; and (4) identify actions that could improve the wartime readiness of COB-related resources. The authors suggest that USAFE staff develop two general policy areas to ensure that the COBs provide the planned defense posture: (1) a concerted program to increase peacetime emphasis on designing and implementing the COB system and (2) specific programs to evaluate and test the warfighting capabilities of COB-based augmented air forces.

Download or read book A Survey of Coalition Logistics Issues Options and Opportunities for Research written by H. Wayne Gustafson and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coalition logistics refers to collaborative support of military forces by allies, including host nation support, cooperative management of supply and maintenance, and shared logistics planning for codeveloped weapon systems. Coalition logistics has never been a dominant theme of combined operations in U.S. alliances. As a result, opportunities for coalition logistics are going unrealized or underexploited, and payoffs from pursuing these opportunities have not been analyzed. This Note reports on a survey of such opportunities as they pertain to the U.S. Air Force and outlines prerequisite research needed to capitalize on them. Despite formidable political and economic obstacles to implementing coalition logistics, there are trends at work that appear to augur favorably for that approach in the long run. The author suggests research areas for assessing the merits of possible directions for coalition logistics and to determine how to reduce the barriers to implementation.

Download or read book Defending Air Bases in an Age of Insurgency written by Shannon Caudill and published by Military Bookshop. This book was released on 2014-08 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology discusses the converging operational issues of air base defense and counterinsurgency. It explores the diverse challenges associated with defending air assets and joint personnel in a counterinsurgency environment. The authors are primarily Air Force officers from security forces, intelligence, and the office of special investigations, but works are included from a US Air Force pilot and a Canadian air force officer. The authors examine lessons from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other conflicts as they relate to securing air bases and sustaining air operations in a high-threat counterinsurgency environment. The essays review the capabilities, doctrine, tactics, and training needed in base defense operations and recommend ways in which to build a strong, synchronized ground defense partnership with joint and combined forces. The authors offer recommendations on the development of combat leaders with the depth of knowledge, tactical and operational skill sets, and counterinsurgency mind set necessary to be effective in the modern asymmetric battlefield.
