Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007, Air Force Chief of Staff General T. Michael Moseley initiated the Air Force's total force integration (TFI) effort designed to cement 680,000 active duty, Air National Guard (ANG), Air Force Reserve Airmen and civilian employees into a more capable and efficient force by accessing aircraft assigned to ANG, Reserve, or active duty bases by members of a different air component through squadron association. Unfortunately, there is little evidence that a systems thinking approach was applied by Air Mobility Command prior to executing the TFI initiative. With multiple squadron associations standing up, and others scheduled in the future, a critical analysis of Air Force guidance and its impact is essential to the service as it continues with the TFI effort to determine if the strategic objectives are being obtained. With an ever increasing national budget deficit and impending Department of Defense budget cuts, it is imperative that the U.S Air Force operates in an efficient manner to present readily available combat air forces to the Combatant Commanders.

Book Synopsis A Question of Access by : Donald J. Halpin
Download or read book A Question of Access written by Donald J. Halpin and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Mobility Command (AMC) is a Total Force Command with 65% of its aircrew and 57% of its aircraft resident in the Air Reserve Component (ARC). Prior to 9-11, this force mix optimized access, availability and cost effectiveness--though it was already beginning to show signs of strain. Since 9-11, both active and reserve force leaders are concerned that AMC's force mix is not well suited for today's operational environment. Many feel it is too ARC-heavy, straining both the active and reserve, and steps need to be taken to re-balance the workload through a redistribution of force structure or use of unique ways to gain access to underutilized ARC assets. This study reviews AMC's force mix today, factors affecting that mix, and access options. It identifies those force mix factors pertinent to AMC, offers recommendations for optimizing Active-ARC integration, and proposes a detailed study to rebalance the fleet. It was intentionally limited to airframes and aircrews in order to reduce its scope. Appendices include a discussion of reserve force mission optimization, review of two previous force structure proposals, a primer on AMC's flying hour program development, and recommendations for further studies. Literature reviews, personal interviews, consultation with RAND personnel, and source data analysis were used. Throughout this study a balanced active-reserve perspective was sought. Of the seven factors affecting force mix (social, political, readiness, availability, personnel flow, cost, and the interactive effect of airframes) only availability and cost are drivers for AMC today. Four Chief of Staff (CSAF) Future Total Force concepts and five additional access options were considered: reserve and active associate units, blended units, sponsored reserves, embedded reserve augmentation, pooled asset operations, realignment of force structure to the active, increasing ARC size, and increasing commercial augmentation. Of these, only embedded reserve augmentation, reserve associate units, and force structure realignment were considered viable.

Book excerpt: Global air mobility is an American invention. During the twentieth century, other nations developed capabilities to transport supplies and personnel by air to support deployed military forces. But only the United States mustered the resources and will to create a global transport force and aerial refueling aircraft capable of moving air and ground combat forces of all types to anywhere in the world and supporting them in continuous combat operations. Whether contemplating a bomber campaign or halting another surprise attack, American war planners have depended on transport and tanker aircraft.

Book Synopsis Supporting the Future Total Force by : Kristin F. Lynch
Download or read book Supporting the Future Total Force written by Kristin F. Lynch and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Air Force faces manpower end-strength reductions of approximately 40,000 active duty personnel, it becomes more difficult to support the air and space expeditionary force (AEF) construct using current force employment practices. These manpower reductions could leave the active component without sufficient end-strength personnel authorizations to support current operational requirements. The Air National Guard (ANG), on the other hand, will not undergo significant manpower reductions, but it will be affected by the Air Force structure planning under way in support of the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) and Base Realignments and Closure (BRAC) that calls for the retirement of a significant number of legacy aircraft. This could potentially leave the ANG with a large number of highly trained, highly experienced personnel with no aircraft to operate and support.

Book Synopsis Air Force Doctrine Document 3-17 by : U. S. Military
Download or read book Air Force Doctrine Document 3-17 written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-22 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Air Force provides unique warfighting capabilities that are essential to joint operations. Foremost among these capabilities is the ability to rapidly focus American combat power and lifesaving resources anywhere on the planet. Frequently, and especially in the opening stages of a conflict, air and space power may be the main manifestation of combat power we bring to bear against an adversary. Contents: Chapter One - An Introduction To Air Mobility * Chapter Two - Organization And Command & Control (C2) * Chapter Three - Airlift * Chapter Four - Air Refueling * Chapter Five - Air Mobility Support * Chapter Six - Air Mobility Planning * Chapter Seven - Aeromedical Evacuation. Topics covered include the Air Reserve Component (ARC), Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF), Air National Guard (ANG), Airlift, Air Refueling, aeromedical evacuation, Operation VITTLES, Operation SWIFT FREEDOM, Operation JUST CAUSE, Operation ENDURING FREEDOM - HUMRO. Of these capabilities, the Air Force provides a very singular form of power: the ability to rapidly position and sustain forces at places and times of our choosing. This pivotal capability-air mobility-is the essential ingredient for modern US expeditionary operations and supports joint force commander-desired effects to deter, dissuade, or destroy the enemy. Force projection provides for presence, mass and maneuver, surprise, security and economy. It is the sum of an impressive fleet of transport and aerial refueling aircraft, underpinned by a flexible support system, and operated by a specialized cadre of active duty Air Force, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, and Air Force civilian personnel. While other forms of American military power have some degree of inherent mobility, the scale of flexibility and responsiveness of the Air Force's air mobility forces is singular in the history of world conflict. We must understand and apply our doctrine in order to succeed in current and future challenges. To do this smoothly and consistently, our planning and employment must be clearly understood and, most importantly, repeatable. To make that happen, we have captured our best practices in doctrine documents such as this one. We must learn and practice our own doctrine. We must understand what it means to be an Airman and be able to articulate what air and space power, and especially air mobility, can bring to the joint fight. Every Airman should read, discuss, and practice doctrine, and to ensure that it adapts as necessary to remain applicable in our changing environment.

This Air Force Doctrine Document (AFDD) 3-17, Air Mobility Operations, has been prepared under the direction of the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. This document establishes doctrinal guidance for the application of the air mobility forces and is consistent with, and complementary to, capstone doctrine contained in AFDD 1, Air Force Basic Doctrine, and AFDD 2, Operations and Organization. AFDD 3-17 serves as the keystone doctrine document for employing airlift, air refueling, and air mobility support elements as an integrated system of operations.

Download or read book General Kenney Reports: A Personal History of the Pacific War written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Kenney Reports is a classic account of a combat commander in action. General George Churchill Kenney arrived in the South- west Pacific theater in August 1942 to find that his command, if not in a shambles, was in dire straits. The theater commander, General Douglas MacArthur, had no confidence in his air element. Kenney quickly changed this situation. He organized and energized the Fifth Air Force, bringing in operational commanders like Whitehead and Wurtsmith who knew how to run combat air forces. He fixed the logistical swamp, making supply and maintenance supportive of air operations, and encouraging mavericks such as Pappy Gunn to make new and innovative weapons and to explore new tactics in airpower application. The result was a disaster for the Japanese. Kenney's airmen used air power-particularly heavily armed B-25 Mitchell bombers used as commerce destroyers-to savage Japanese supply lines, destroying numerous ships and effectively isolating Japanese garrisons. The classic example of Kenney in action was the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, which marked the attainment of complete Allied air dominance and supremacy over Japanese naval forces operating around New Guinea. In short, Kenney was a brilliant, innovative airman, who drew on his own extensive flying experiences to inform his decision-making. General Kenney Reports is a book that has withstood the test of time, and which should be on the shelf of every airman.

Book Synopsis Air mobility the key to the United States national security strategy by :
Download or read book Air mobility the key to the United States national security strategy written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 is the single organization that performs for air mobility for the United States. Cm%Currently, the Air Force has structured Air Mobility Command for war, yet this command performs operations during times when the US is at peace. Air Mobility Command performs missions to support US military operations in hostile environments as well as humanitarian operations in non-hostile environments. The number of operations requiring mobility air forces has been on the rise since the Cold War ended 10 years ago. These steady-state operations seem to over task mobility air forces. This study centers on the question: Can Air Mobility Command's force structure, organized for two major-theater wars, fulfill that requirement and perform the steady-state operations in today's strategic environment? This study finds that Air Mobility Command's force structure cannot meet its requirements for two major-theater wars and that the current force structure is inefficient in meeting the requirements for steady-state operations. First, this thesis presents a primer to acclimate the reader to the complex environment and multifaceted requirements of mobility air forces. Next, this thesis examines Air Mobility Command's current force structure as determined by Department of Defense requirements for war. Then this thesis also describes the various types of missions that Air Mobility Command performs on a steady-state basis and evaluates the importance of these operations in fulfilling US National Security Strategy. Finally, this thesis recommends action that the Air Force and the Department of Defense should investigate in order to improve their air mobility capabilities in.
