Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USAF Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) is designed to provide CINCs with RAPID, RESPONSIVE, and RELIABLE airpower options that meet specific theater needs by providing a wide range of capabilities. These forces are used to augment existing landbased forces when necessary. In turn, the AEF was developed to allow the National Command Authorities (NCA) access to a rapid response air force from CONUS without having to maintain an immediate readiness force in-theater. The savings over an in-theater air force is substantial and provides the NCAs the flexibility to wait until the last minute to commit air forces. The Air Expeditionary Force is a specifically tailored package of fighter/bombers, associated personnel, and support equipment possessing the characteristics of rapid deployment/employment of a light and lethal design. The primary role of the AEF is to maintain a level of force presence in the Area of Responsibility (AOR), provide deterrence during periods of heightened tensions, and to augment the existing ground forces. This force would provide precision air-to-ground, air-to-air, and suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) capabilities. Since the Air Expeditionary Force is in its infancy, the Air Force is just beginning to develop the AEF's capabilities, feasibility, and functionality. The Concept of Operation has been developed and validated by Central Command (CENTCOM) but has not been organized or tested in any other Command's Areas of Responsibility (AOR). The Secretary of the Air Force and the Air Force Chief of Staff developed a strategy for the 21st Century that encourages the AEF concept and provides the framework for future expeditionary exploration.
Book Synopsis Anatomy of a Reform by : Richard G. Davis
Download or read book Anatomy of a Reform written by Richard G. Davis and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1991, the service has lost two-thirds of its foreign bases and one-third of its force structure and personnel. Yet the nation's strategy of selective engagement dictated that the service be ready to fight and win two nearly simultaneous major theater wars, while maintaining its commitments to a growing string of small-scale contingencies. The mismatch between resources and requirements was forcing the men and women of the U.S. Air Force (USAF) into a lifestyle characterized by high personnel tempo at the expense of family life. Drops in retention rates and recruitment indicated that the situation, if allowed to go unchecked, would soon reach serious proportions. The answer was to create the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) -- a new way of doing business that improved predictability and stability in personnel assignments and furnished the service with a powerful management tool to more efficiently align its assets with the needs of the warfighting Commanders in Chief. EAF was an idea whose time had come, and on August 4, 1998, Acting Air Force Secretary, F. Whitten Peters, and Chief of Staff, General Michael E. Ryan, announced that the time for development had passed and that the USAF would now move as rapidly as possible toward full implementation. This work offers a preliminary history of the development and initial implementation of EAF from its beginnings to the roll-out of the 10 Aerospace Expeditionary Forces on October 1, 1999.

Download or read book The Air Expeditionary Force in Perspective written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The military has conducted expeditionary operations for centuries; airmen began to participate in expeditions from the very early days of flight. Descriptions of expeditions, with and without air components, evoke suggestive lessons for current expeditionary operations. Frequently the identification of lessons from past events provides planners and commanders the background, wisdom, and the equally important element of context that facilitate better judgment in the imperfect decision-making process. This collection begins with a short description of Air Force leadership promoting the idea of expeditionary air operations. This is followed by a review of the 1995-1996 Aerospace Expeditionary Force I-III deployments to the Middle East. The anthology then continues in reverse chronological order to describe various expeditionary operations throughout history, beginning with examples from World War II. The latter include the British and German expeditions to Norway; the pre-war American buildup in the Philippines; the first American operation in the Pacific--Guadalcanal; Rommel in North Africa; Japan's venture in the Aleutians; the first major European campaign for the United States--the Twelfth Air Force's invasion of Northwest Africa; and finally, the buildup of the Eighth Air Force in England for the Strategic Bombing Campaign. The interwar years are marked by the Italian-Ethiopian War and the Spanish Civil War, described here from the Italian, German, and Soviet perspectives. The World War I era includes the American expedition against Pancho Villa and four British expeditions in Africa and the Middle East. Finally, a number of famous campaigns illustrate the timelessness of expeditionary campaigns, particularly the campaigns of the Romans and Napoleon. In addition, parts of the American Civil War depict expeditionary efforts, as do American operations in China at the turn of the 20th century--the Boxer Rebellion. (30 figures).
Book Synopsis Immediate Reach, Immediate Power by : Office of Air Force History
Download or read book Immediate Reach, Immediate Power written by Office of Air Force History and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The multiple challenges America faces today calls for rapid responsive, global air power. The answer is the United States Air Force's (USAF) Air Expeditionary Force (AEF). An AEF consists of aircraft wings, groups, or squadrons attached to a USAF numbered air force deployed under the command of a U.S. Military Joint Commander-in-Chief (CING) of a geographic region, during a period of increased operations tempo. An increased operations tempo is invariably associated with U.S. diplomatic, political, military or humanitarian actions either underway or in prospect. Also, an AEF unit deploys as a composite force, one made up several different aircraft types within the same unit, rather than in accordance with past USAF practice where a combat unit consists of only one type (and model) of aircraft. By taking advantage of the intrinsic strengths of air power-speed, range, and flexibility-the AEF provides a logistically lean, flexible, tailored, quick-response force to the CINC.
Book Synopsis Air Expeditionary Force: Forward Base Access by :
Download or read book Air Expeditionary Force: Forward Base Access written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) is a new Air Force operational concept and a new way of presenting forces to an operational commander. The historically unique characteristics include: operating at forward locations that maintain minimal infrastructure, launching combat missions 24 to 48 hours after execute order from anywhere in the world, and tailoring the force using sub-squadron size modules of aircraft. The biggest risk factor associated with the use of the AEF is forward base access. Regional commanders need to begin now to make the AEF a viable option by exercising the concept in host nations prior to a time of crisis and by prepositioning equipment. Exercising the AEF in targeted host nations prior to times of crisis offers the U.S. government and regional commanders the opportunity to further policy objectives by engaging selected countries. Logistic constraints: fuel & munitions.
Book Synopsis The Air Expeditionary Force by : Michael J. Nowak
Download or read book The Air Expeditionary Force written by Michael J. Nowak and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to initial expectations, the end of the cold war has not resulted in a spontaneous outbreak of interna -tional 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 current volatile world by providing regional commanders in chief with effects-based packages of airpower that can quickly respond to US national secu -rity requirements. This employment strategy attempts to balance international uncertainty with a decreased forward presence and reduced force structure. Recently the Air Force has also touted the AEF as a tool to manage an operational tempo and deployment rate problem that is causing retention difficulties. In his paper Colonel Nowak, USAF, argues that while the AEF is a step in the right direction, the focus appears to be too narrow. Current Air Force AEF planning is oriented toward a conventional force-on-force-style aggression like those aggressions we have seen in Iraq and the former republics of Yugoslavia. However, the most probable use of an AEF will be in a noncombat role, supporting humanitarian or peacekeeping operations. In these "nontradi-tional" types of AEFs, personnel and leadership skills, as well as the force composition, will be markedly different from a combat-style AEF. The study begins by reviewing the international and domestic context that has caused the Air Force to focus on expeditionary operations. It continues by discussing the historical roots of the AEF and its current employment philosophy. The study concludes by identifying courses of action that should keep the AEF viable in an uncertain international environment. Regardless of one2s views on the AEF, this paper presents points for discussion as the Air Force comes to grips with both the changing nature of future conflict and the Air Force2s ability to provide the National Command Authorities with a credible aerospace force. We encourage open debate on this critical topic.

Download or read book Air Expeditionary Force written by James K. Robinson and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Security Strategy, 1997 Quadrennial Defense Review, National Military Strategy, and Joint Vision 2010 call for certain military capabilities. These capabilities will provide the National Command Authorities (NCA) options when pursuing U.S. interests. While the current Air Force structure is able to fulfill the requirements of these various documents, the Air Force is restructuring itself. The Air Force is reorienting itself to a more expeditionary force. The Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) will provide the NCA a rapid reaction force. The Air Force is beginning to revise its doctrine to incorporate the AEF. Across the spectrum of conflict the AEF is a valuable option for the NCA. The AEF is credible force for the present and the future.

Book excerpt: The Department of Defense in recent years has shifted from threat-based planning to structuring its forces to provide a range of capabilities. As such, the need has arisen for new methods to assess the Air Force's manpower and materiel deployment capabilities. The authors outline a method for assessing Air and Space Expeditionary Force capabilities given certain policies and resource levels, and they illustrate how this method can contribute to the capabilities-based planning environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force's new Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) provides rapid, responsive, and reliable airpower to the CINCs. Directly aligned with the National Security Strategy, the AEF is a valuable operational art tool. Overall, benefits of the concept far outweigh any costs associated with establishing an AEF. What exactly is this new AEF? How does it support warfighting strategies of today and the future? How does the AEF add to operational campaign planning and operations? Joint Vision 2010 provides a conceptual framework for commanders and planners. The AEF provides one capability to implement the operational concepts of this plan. What's more, commanders can use the AEF to manage space, time, and forces. In addition, by virtue of its pre-hostilities' agreements and peacetime operations, the AEF helps commanders with some of the challenges in leading combined fighting teams so common in today's coalition warfare environment. The AEF is an evolving concept. Capabilities are increasing. Challenges are being addressed and resolved. Together with other forces, the AEF provides capabilities across the entire spectrum of military operations. AEFs can participate in peacetime engagement, deterrence, and conflict prevention, and can fight and win aspects of Joint Vision 2010 full spectrum dominance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) is the wave of the future for the United States Air Force's power projection mission. The Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) is the wave of the future for the United States Air Force's power projection mission. Airpower is most vulnerable on the ground. Thus, air base defense is an integral part of airpower deployments. Bases not only must withstand aerial and ground attacks, but also must sustain concentrated and prolonged activities against the enemy. This must be a particular focus of operations during peace support or crisis situations when force operate from austere and unimproved locations, in small units, or in crowded urban settings and face threats to security from individuals and groups as well as possible military or paramilitary.

Download or read book Supporting Air and Space Expeditionary Forces. Capabilities and Sustainability of Air and Space Expeditionary Forces written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense in recent years has shifted from a focus on sizing and shaping its forces to meet specific war plans to policies based on capabilities that can be directed toward a spectrum of missions. Concurrently, the Air Force has developed new policies governing deployments. Under these policies, Air Force personnel and materiel are organized into Air and Space Expeditionary Forces (AEFs). The AEF policies specify which personnel are expected to deploy if they are needed at some time, how long those personnel will remain deployed, and when they will be expected to deploy again. This shift to capabilities-based planning and AEF deployments has dramatically changed the manner in which the Air Force organizes and deploys its forces. Given these changes, the need has arisen for new methods to assess Air Force deployment capabilities. This monograph describes a method for assessing deployment capabilities in light of the new AEF policies. This analytical approach can be used to evaluate a range of policy issues, which are described here, including expressing the deployment capabilities of the Air Force in terms of AEF policies, comparing alternative AEF policies with the current set of policies, sizing and balancing manpower positions among the combat support functional areas to meet specific deployment scenarios, and examining the impact of basing structures on the burden of deployment for Air Force personnel in certain support positions. Research for this report was completed in October 2004.
Book Synopsis Expeditionary Diplomacy by : William L. Dowdy
Download or read book Expeditionary Diplomacy written by William L. Dowdy and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During the Cold War, U.S. Air Force units typically operated either from bases on American territory or from main operating bases (MOBs) in allied countries where access was assured under long-accepted arrangements. In the decade following the end of the Cold War, the number of MOBs abroad has been drastically reduced, and most remaining USAF assets have been pulled back to bases in U.S. territory. Meanwhile, given changes in the international security environment and consequent adjustments in U.S. national security strategy, Air Force units have increasingly been required to deploy to, and operate from, forward locations in many countries outside of the Cold War alliance structure. Under the nascent Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) concept, gaining access to and maintaining positive relations with host countries are prerequisites to successful expeditionary operations. This study was inspired by the view stated at Air University in 1999 by then-Maj Gen Donald G. Cook, first EAF Implementation Director, that [beta]diplomatic preparation of the battlefield[gamma] is a neglected concept and enterprise that should receive more attention from EAF architects. As the first and only systematic study of [beta]diplomatic preparation, [gamma] this Research Paper selectively surveys existing and prospective USAF initiatives that attempt to come to grips with political-military ([beta]pol-mil[gamma]) challenges associated with expeditionary operations."--Air University abstracts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lengthening the current 120-day AEF deployment cycle to a 210-day deployment cycle for Air Force officers while at the same time, reducing ILO taskings will enhance the Air Forces overall capability of providing global vigilance, reach and power to the battlefield. Deploying for longer periods of time, officers will be given a better opportunity to provide continuity to one another as they transition into and out of the area of operation (AOR). Additional time in the AOR will provide officers with a greater sense of the current operating environment and will enable them to lead their Airmen in support of GWoT more effectively upon their return to their in garrison assignments. Reducing the number of Army/Marine Corps ILO taskings filled by Airmen will allow Airmen to fill duties within their traditional deployed roles. In addition, by decreasing the amount of ILO taskings filled by Airmen, the Air Force will be able to use the funding that previously went to train Airmen supporting ILO taskings to modernize its aging air and space inventory, a priority on Chief of Staff of the Air Force, General Norman Schwartz.

Book Synopsis Supporting Air and Space Expeditionary Forces by : Ronald G. McGarvey
Download or read book Supporting Air and Space Expeditionary Forces written by Ronald G. McGarvey and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2008 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph describes the new modeling approach developed to construct the CONUS CIRF network designs and presents detailed results from the specific analyses. The analyses are based on F-15, F-16, and A-10 aircraft force structure bed-downs resulting from the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission's 2005 recommendations. For the three aircraft types, all CONUS active duty bases, Air National Guard (ANG) installations, and Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) installations possessing combat-coded or training aircraft, along with some Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) bases, were used as locations to be supported by CIRF networks. CIRF network designs were constructed for aircraft engines (TF34, F100, F110), electronic warfare (EW) pods (ALQ-131, ALQ-184), Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) navigation (AN/AAQ-13) and targeting pods (AAQ-14s), and F-15 avionics line replaceable units (LRUs). This set of commodities was chosen because previous analyses (many of which were performed at RAND) had suggested that they afforded the largest potential savings from consolidated maintenance. Tasking scenarios considered in these analyses included normal peacetime training and readiness, Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF) deployment taskings, and major regional conflict (MRC) taskings.
