Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the short history of air warfare, no nation with superior air forces has ever lost a war to the force of enemy arms. Air superiority by itself, however, no longer guarantees victory. This book, one of the first analyses of the pure art of planning the aerial dimension of war, explores the complicated connection between air superiority and victory in war. In The Air Campaign, Colonel John A. Warden III focuses on the use of air forces at the operational level in a theater of war. The most compelling task for the theater commander, he argues, is translating national war objectives into tactical plans at operational levels. He presents his case by drawing on fascinating historical examples, stressing that the mastery of operational-level strategy can be the key to winning future wars. Colonel Warden shows us how to use air power more effectively-through rough mass, concentration, and economy of forces-because, he warns, the United States no longer holds an edge in manpower, production capacity, and technology. Simply put, an air force inferior in numbers must fight better and smarter to win. This book offers planners greater understanding of how to use air power for future air campaigns against a wide variety of enemy capabilities in a wide variety of air operations. As the reader will see, the classic principles of war also apply to air combat. One of the author's important contributions is to demonstrate that perception to those whose grave responsibility one day may be to plan and carry through a victorious air campaign.

Download or read book Evolution of the Air Campaign Planning Process and the Contingency Theater Automated Planning System (CTAPS) written by Daniel Gonzales and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes an examination of the air campaign planning process, including observation of how the process was conducted in recent exercises and a review of how the process was performed during the Gulf War. A number of suggested changes to the process are recommended that, in conjunction with changes to the Contingency Theater Automated Planning System (CTAPS), could improve the process significantly and reduce the time needed for production of the Air Tasking Order from 48 to 24 hours. CTAPS capabilities were examined as a part of this study. The CTAPS 5.0x and planned 6.0 architectures were reviewed and suggestions presented that could enhance the operational capabilities of the system. This report should be of interest to project managers and monitors of CTAPS and related programs, to those interested in the air campaign planning process, and to those responsible for developing Department of Defense or Air Force information system architectures.

Book excerpt: This article proposes changes in planning for future contingency operations. The aim is to improve direct linkage between campaign planning for contingency operations and the strategy that such planning must serve. No attempt is made at redressing joint doctrinal issues; libraries are replete with recent publications describing needed military reforms. Nor do we seek to blaze a new trail; we merely hope to straighten out one of the bends in the existing one. The method comprises three parts: a brief review of central geopolitical imperatives, a description of the problem, and some recommended fixes. The nature of the geopolitical environment facing the United States in the future suggests that global contingencies requiring military intervention will entail, inter alia, the following characteristics: U.S. interests at stake; pressure for quick, clear victory; uncertain mission, situation, and threat; centralized control; constrained air and sea lift; diverse operational options (e.g., forced entry, noncombatant evacuation, peacekeeping, and extended combat operations.) Overall, there is good reason to doubt that approved operations plans can ever play a significant role in the deliberations that lead to contingency deployments. And this is not surprising, since such plans do not give the decision makers what they need. As noted, many military reforms have been implemented already. We suggest four refinements of the present military operational planning system to accommodate timely and sound decisions by the NCA and unified commanders: Change the focus of regional campaign planning for contingency operations, Improve force packaging modules, Strengthen joint operating procedures, and Redirect training and exercise methodologies.

Download or read book Civil Affairs Campaign Planning for Complex Contingency Operations written by Bob Chadwick and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent military operations in Haiti and Bosnia have shown that civil-military tasks are crucial to the overall accomplishment of the mission. Operations of this nature require coordination of U.S. interagency participants, international relief organizations, and military participants. Current U.S. policy for interagency coordination of Complex Contingency Operations is contained in Presidential Decision Directive 56. This directive does not consider the important role of the Combatant CINC in planning or executing the civil-military objectives inherent in this type of operation and how they must be synchronized with the interagency process. This paper will focus on integration of the interagency process and Civil Affairs Campaign Planning by the Combatant CINC. It will analyze interagency and military aspects of planning, training, force requirements, coordination, deployment, and employment of interagency and military assets in a complex contingency operation while providing recommendations on improving this relationship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document reports on independent, exploratory research on air campaign planning and execution. Its purpose is threefold: (1) to provide observations on the current processes and capabilities for planning and executing air operations in theater conflicts; (2) to identify key issues associated with those processes; and (3) to recommend analytic concentrations for future research. Our primary focus is at the broadest level of campaign planning and execution- activities flowing from the definition of campaign and operational objectives down to the allocation, apportionment, and tasking of forces. Our work involved interviews with a variety of USAF organizations. We did not explicitly interview personnel in other service or joint organizations; hence, we are plainly offering a USAF perspective on campaign planning. However, most of the USAF entities we talked with are intimately involved in joint and combined operations and planning, and Air Force doctrine and perceptions will likely play an important role in shaping future air campaigns. Therefore, we believe that this report has relevance beyond the confines of the USAF planning community. (KAR) P. 9.

This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How will China use its increasing military capabilities in the future? China faces a complicated security environment with a wide range of internal and external threats. Rapidly expanding international interests are creating demands for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to conduct new missions ranging from protecting Chinese shipping from Somali pirates to evacuating citizens from Libya. The most recent Chinese defense white paper states that the armed forces must "make serious preparations to cope with the most complex and difficult scenarios . . . so as to ensure proper responses . . . at any time and under any circumstances." Based on a conference co-sponsored by Taiwan's Council of Advanced Policy Studies, RAND, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and National Defense University, The People's Liberation Army and Contingency Planning in China brings together leading experts from the United States and Taiwan to examine how the PLA prepares for a range of domestic, border, and maritime...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force staff quickly came up with an air campaign, the brainchild of Colonel John Warden, a brilliant, brash fighter pilot and a leading Air Force intellectual on the use of airpower... Warden's original plan would undergo numerous modifications…but his original concept remained the heart of the Desert Storm air war. Colin PowellColin Powell, My American JourneySince its original publication The Air Campaign: Planning for Combat has been translated into more than a half dozen languages and is in use at military colleges throughout the world. This book would later serve as the basis for the planning of much of the Gulf War air campaign. Generals Schwarzkopf and Powell credited Col. Warden with creating the air campaign that defeated Iraq in the Gulf War. This new edition includes a new epilogue where Col. Warden has refined and extended many of the ideas presented in the original book. The most significant of these refinements is the development of the theory of the enemy as a system-which flows from the center of gravity concepts developed in the first edition.

Book excerpt: American air power is a dominant force in today's world. Its ascendancy, evolving in the half century since the end of World War II, became evident during the first Gulf War. Although a great deal has been written about military operations in Desert Shield and Desert Storm, this deeply researched volume by Dr. Diane Putney probes the little-known story of how the Gulf War air campaign plan came to fruition. Based on archival documentation and interviews with USAF planners, this work takes the reader into the planning cells where the difficult work of building an air campaign plan was accomplished on an around-the-clock basis. The tension among air planners is palpable as Dr. Putney traces the incremental progress and friction along the way. The author places the complexities of the planning process within the con- text of coalition objectives. All the major players are here: President George H. W. Bush, General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, General Colin Powell, General Chuck Horner, and Secretary of Defense Richard Cheney. The air planning process generated much debate and friction, but resulted in great success - a 43-day conflict with minimum casualties. Dr. Putney's rendering of this behind-the-scenes evolution of the planning process, in its complexity and even suspense, provides a fascinating window into how wars are planned and fought today and what might be the implications for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning the decades form the beginning of the Cold War to today's strategy of global engagement, the twenty-three operational summaries in this book illustrate each of the objective for military operations other than wart. The USAF conducted each of these contingencies in a combat zone or area of serious civil disturbance. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, a series of geographically localized crises caused by political, religious or ethnic unrest; outright military aggression; and natural disasters has replaced the relative stability that characterized international relations for more than 50 years of the Cold War. For the United States Air Force, this has meant short notice deployments, air lifts, and other operational missions conducted in reaction to local crises. Such missions have come to dominate Air Force Operations.
