The Air Expeditionary Force: A Strategy for an Uncertain Future?: Maxwell Paper No. 19
ISBN: 9781479349883 / Angielski / Miękka / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contrary to initial expectations, the end of the Cold War has not resulted in a spontaneous outbreak of international peace and stability. While the nuclear threat has diminished, previously suppressed ethnic and nationalistic rivalries have boiled over and become additive to existing trouble spots in Korea and Southwest Asia. In spite of these challenges, defense spending and military forward presence have declined as the lack of a peer competitor has deprived our national security strategy of a definable threat. The Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) attempts to deal with the uncertainty of the...

Air Force Intelligence Role in Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction: Maxwell Paper No. 39
ISBN: 9781479349937 / Angielski / Miękka / 42 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After the United States and coalition forces failed to find weapons of mass destruction (WMD) stockpiled after Operation Iraqi Freedom, the president charged a congressional commission with examining US intelligence capabilities regarding WMD. No great surprise, the commission found that the intelligence community had been "dead wrong" in many of its prewar estimates. Air Force intelligence is part of that intelligence community and shares responsibility for that failure. Air Force intelligence professionals play important combating-WMD roles at combatant commands, components, national...

Air Mobility: The Key to the United States National Security Strategy: Fairchild Paper
ISBN: 9781479350025 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since airlift was first used as a tool of national security during the Berlin airlift, it has grown to deliver passengers, cargo, and fuel to operations worldwide in support of national security. However, Air Mobility Command (AMC) is the single organization that performs for air mobility for the United States. Currently, the UA Air Force has structured AMC for war; yet this command performs operations during times when the United States is at peace. AMC performs missions to support US military operations in hostile environments as well as humanitarian operations in nonhostile environments....

Air National Guard Fighters in the Total Force: Maxwell Paper No. 1
ISBN: 9781479350124 / Angielski / Miękka / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the last few years, the United States Air Force has been involved in an unparalleled number of peacetime contingency operations. Air National Guard (ANG) tanker and airlift assets have been heavily engaged in these operations. However, the authors of this study point out that the same level of activity is not found in the ANG fighter force even though many of these units have demonstrated a willingness to participate. Lieutenant Colonels Lucas and Johnson argue that US reliance on the Air National Guard will increase as declining defense budgets, a shrinking active fighter force, and a...

The Air Superiority Fighter and Defense Transformation: Why DOD Requirements Demand the F/A-22 Raptor: Maxwell Paper No. 30
ISBN: 9781479350193 / Angielski / Miękka / 36 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this paper, Lt. Col. Devin L. Cate tackles the question of whether an air superiority fighter is relevant to warfare in the twenty-first century. Critics of the F/A-22, the US Air Force's next generation air superiority fighter, have identified it as a cold war relic - unjustifiably expensive and out of step with the Department of Defense (DoD) transformation. Colonel ate argues that the six operational goals of the DoD transformation, as defined in the Quadrennial Defense Review Report (QDR) of 2001, actually demand a highly capable air superiority fighter. He shows how achieving these...

Airpower, Chaos, and Infrastructure: Lords of the Rings: Maxwell Paper No. 14
ISBN: 9781479350223 / Angielski / Miękka / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This interesting study by Lt. Col. Edward J. Felker, US Air Force, describes a methodology to exploit airpower's capacities at the operational and strategic levels of war. It focuses on the third ring (infrastructure) of John A. Warden II"s theory of five strategic rings, which the author argues is often neglected in the debate over the importance of leadership (first ring) versus fielded forces (fifth ring). The author emphasizes that lines of communications transmit all of society's military, economic, and political goods, services, and information. Infrastructure provides the framework...

Kwiatkowski's "Expeditionary Air Operations in Africa: Challenges and Solutions" details air operations challenges in Africa. She discusses how the USAF currently meets or avoids these challenges. She contends that Africa is like the "western frontier" of America's history - undeveloped, brimming with opportunity as well as danger, and that it is a place where standard assumptions often do not apply. Africa has not been, and is not today, a US geostrategic interest area. However, as the dawn of the twenty-first century breaks over a planet made both intimate and manageable...

Employee Warriors and the Future of the American Fighting Force: Fairchild Paper
ISBN: 9781479364473 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The rapid expansion of social democracy and technology, as well as changes in the social/political patterns of American society, has drawn the military closer to civilian society. One element of this dynamic relationship is the military's adoption of commercial business paradigms and identities, resulting in the institutionalization of what one can describe as a business scientific/management-professional culture that surrounds the warrior of the 1990s. This culture seems to contrast and oftentimes openly conflict with the values and traditional culture that once embraced the professional...

Experiential theorists have studies the role that experience plays in decision making in a naturalistic environment. This monograph takes that evidence and applies it to tactical situations. Specifically, the monograph studies how experience is gained in the United States Army at the tactical level prior to an officer assuming battalion command. The monograph includes an in depth study of how battalion command has increased in complexity since World War II. It shows a trend towards increasing complexity and difficulty throughout the last fifty years. Given this information, the monograph also...

China in Space: Civilian and Military Developments: Maxwell Paper No. 24
ISBN: 9781479364565 / Angielski / Miękka / 36 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In October 1956, Mao Tse-tung ordered the start of China's space program. Four years later, on 5 November 1960, China launched its first rocket, becoming the fourth country, behind Germany, the United States, and the Soviet Union, to enter space. Today China routinely launches space satellites for Western companies, including US corporations, and is increasing its share of the global space launch market. But the Chinese also use the technology and assistance gained in foreign ventures for PRC military applications. And a principal organization in China's space effort, the China Great Wall...

Col. Kathryn L. Gauthier analyzes the potential for China to emerge as a peer competitor of the United States in the coming decades. First, she examines two traditional pillars of national strength - China's status as a nuclear weapons state and as a space power. Second, she then explores China's growing focus on information warfare (IW) as a means to wage asymmetric warfare against a technologically advanced adversary. Third, the author carefully examines the status of the three programs, highlights...

Challenges in the Multipolar Space-Power Environment: Fairchild Paper
ISBN: 9781479364633 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Space power is arguably one of the most valuable, yet underappreciated and misunderstood components of US national power. The effects derived from our presence in space have tremendous strategic implications: an explosion of communication capabilities, better weather prediction, precision navigation, and intelligence are but a few of the dividends derived from investments in space programs. The United States no longer enjoys a near monopoly on space effects. Every week brings news of advances in space technologies by China, Russia, India, European powers, and others. Space, as a strategic...

Building Castles on Sand? Ignoring the Riptide of Information Operations: Maxwell Paper No. 15
ISBN: 9781479364688 / Angielski / Miękka / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this compelling study, Lt. Col. Carla D. Bass argues that the American military, underestimating vulnerabilities of the US information infrastructure, has based its strategic policy not on a firm foundation, but rather has built castles on sand. Such documents as "Joint Vision 2010 and United States Air Force Global Engagement" assume the United States will have unimpeded access to information on our own forces and on the enemy's forces as well, due largely to our technological sophistication. They propose application of a downsized US military in a still very deadly world, based on the...

ISBN: 9781479364725 / Angielski / Miękka / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Doctrine for joint urban operations, which include aviation urban operations, combined with revised tactics, techniques, and procedures for joint close air support, offers the combined/joint force air component commander a set of best practices for conducting counterland operations on urban terrain. In this study, Lt Col Todd Kemper, USMC, argues that aviation urban operations, particularly urban close air support, are no longer high-risk, low-probability missions left to academic discussions, but are proving to be high-risk, high-probability missions, as witnessed during Operation Iraqi...

The Art of Aerial Warfare: Fairchild Paper
ISBN: 9781479364749 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The author presents a stimulating paper about conducting aerial warfare, defined as the use of "the destructive instrument of airpower applied against an enemy in time of war." He challenges Airmen to acquire mental agility commensurate with the unprecedented flexibility of their instruments. The author fills a critical gap in aerial warfare literature. Most works focus on the technical or tactical aspects of the profession and medium, but stop short of discussions of the broader nature of war itself. Consideration of war in that larger sense is essential for those who seek to understand and...

Red is Good: Transformational Changes for US Air Force Aircraft Maintenance: Maxwell Paper No. 46
ISBN: 9781479369812 / Angielski / Miękka / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the last two decades, the Air Force's fleet of aircraft has shrunk 40 percent, while the average inventory age has increased from eight years in 1973 to a projected 26.5 years by 2012. Concurrently, this smaller, older fleet has been tasked with 2.3 million flight hours per year since the end of Operation Desert Storm. In an environment of flat bud-gets, limited manpower, and an aging, shrinking fleet, the Air Force seeks cultural transformations to remain the world's premier air, space, and cyberspace force. The trans-formation initiative Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century...

The Operational and Tactical Nexus: Small Steps Toward Seamless Effects-Based Operations: Wright Flyer Paper No. 22
ISBN: 9781479369850 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The literature on effects-based operations (EBO) seems to grow each day. Myriad definitions have appeared in service and joint doctrine writings as well as in other writings. Most are too far reaching for current capabilities, and they may be too far reaching for future capabilities. Both the United States Air Force (USAF) and the United States Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) EBO definitions encompass all facets of national policy, including strategic outcomes. USAF and USJFCOM are attempting a quantum leap when smaller, more manageable steps are indicated to enable and embed an EBO culture in...

Quality Air Force in an Emergency: Leadership Principles and Concepts for Emergency Response Forces: Maxwell Paper No. 2
ISBN: 9781479369867 / Angielski / Miękka / 34 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Air Force has challenged leaders to integrate and use quality principles as a way to improve operations throughout the service. In this study Lt Col David F. Bird, USAF, reminds us that these quality principles apply to emergency response forces----both before and during a crisis. He proposes that senior leaders view quality concepts and principles as a way of creating an environment to spark the highest performance by their subordinates and not as giving up authority or control. At wing level, the disaster control group forms in response to a crisis incident ranging from an aircraft...
