Book Synopsis Perspectives on Theater Air Campaign Planning by : David E. Thaler
Download or read book Perspectives on Theater Air Campaign Planning written by David E. Thaler and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1995 with total page 50 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis Evolution of the Air Campaign Planning Process and the Contingency Theater Automated Planning System (CTAPS) by : Daniel Gonzales
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.

Download or read book Evolution of the Air Campaign Planning Process and the Contingency Theater Automated Planning System (CTAPS). written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines CTAPS and the air campaign planning process and proposes modifications to both that will help remedy these deficiencies and dramatically increase the responsiveness of U.S. air forces in large conflicts. It examines the functionality of CTAPS and the structure of the air campaign planning process in detail. Provided is a top-level description of the system and a summary of findings for improving CTAPS and the air campaign planning process. CTAPS is a complex automated support system that runs on a large networked set of computer work stations. Because of its ancestry and the evolutionary acquisition approach used in its development, CTAPS is a complex combination of applications that have been modified to run together with minimal interference in the same client-server computing environment. The four key applications used in the ATO production process in version 5.0x of CTAPS and the key data flows in the process are shown in Figure S.1. There are many more applications in CTAPS 5.0x; however, for simplicity we have included only the major ones in the figure.

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 Synopsis Global Air Power by : John Andreas Olsen
Download or read book Global Air Power written by John Andreas Olsen and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What influences have shaped air power since human flight became a reality more than a hundred years ago? Global Air Power provides insight into the evolution of air power theory and practice by examining the experience of six of the world’s largest air forces--those of the United Kingdom, the United States, Israel, Russia, India, and China--and of representative smaller air forces in Pacific Asia, Latin America, and continental Europe. The chapters, written by highly regarded scholars and military leaders, explore how various nations have integrated air power into their armed forces and how they have applied air power in both regular and irregular warfare and in peacetime operations. They cover the organizational, professional, and doctrinal issues that air forces confronted in the past, the lessons learned from victory and defeat, and emerging challenges and opportunities. Further, Global Air Power supplements the traditional military perspective with examinations of the ideological, economic, and cultural factors that give air forces their distinctive characters. Chapters show how the interplay among these internal factors, together with external challenges, determines the structure, role, and effectiveness of air forces. Together, these chapters illuminate universal trends as well as similarities and differences among the world’s air forces. Its combination of military history and sociopolitical analysis makes Global Air Power especially valuable to a broad range of historians, air power specialists, and general readers interested in national defense and international relations.
Book Synopsis Airpower Advantage by : Diane Putney
Download or read book Airpower Advantage written by Diane Putney and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Review From The Air & Space Power Journal... I have read most of the literature on the planning of the Gulf War air campaign (GWAC). Relative to other documents on the subject, Diane Putney's Airpower Advantage is the most accurate, complete, and unbiased account available to date. A lucid writer and meticulous researcher, the author substantiates her statements with references to firsthand documentation of critical events. The book uniquely ties together the key decisions and briefings that occurred in Saudi Arabia; Tampa, Florida; Washington, DC; and locations around the Southwest Asia theater. Although Putney wrote this account shortly after the Gulf War, it has taken 10 years to declassify the text, gain publication-release authority, and make available the book's critical insights. The author provides a tutorial on how planning a major theater war unfolds and discusses its key elements: limiting factors, logistical concerns and requirements, command relationships, and the importance of personalities specifically, the role of leadership in putting together an executable plan from disparate pieces. Readers gain complete and accurate understanding not only of the design and development of the GWAC, but also of the combatant commander's creation of his overall campaign plan and the integration of service components. Unlike some of the more myopic accounts of Operation Desert Storm, this book merges a number of viewpoints into a balanced, coherent whole, thus lending insight into the variety of planning elements, perspectives, and inputs that other books have either missed or avoided. It is also the first study to capture the importance of the effects-based planning approach used to design the GWAC. One finds here a wealth of perspectives and case studies that can assist future planners. For example, with respect to the role of the joint force air component commander (JFACC) as area air defense commander, Putney summarizes Gen Charles A. Horner's action as follows: "Grafting onto the host nation's organization precluded other [US Central Command] components from establishing their own area air defense system," that would have inhibited the development of an integrated and effective theaterwide system (p. 108). Putney also allows readers to examine the effective style employed by General Horner as he worked with other services to meet objectives (p. 114). Chapters 6 and 9 offer Desert Storm case studies of the failure of intelligence institutions and architectures to adapt to the demands of precision warfare and effects-based assessment. Unwavering adherence to an established intelligence process, regardless of the demands of the situation, hampered bomb damage assessment and rendered intelligence support of the overall effort less than optimal. At the same time, we learn how the integration of intelligence and operations might enhance their efforts. In addition to addressing the influence of different players, the author accurately captures the magnitude of the tasks that General Horner, as JFACC, adroitly wove into a cohesive air campaign. Such insights validate the utility of a JFACC, an organizational construct first employed in Desert Storm. From General Horner's example we learn that a great commander does not micromanage but leads best by providing operational-level guidance. The real-world evidence found in this book-especially the challenges and elements involved in designing a campaign plan-will prove invaluable to the professional military education and training of our country's future leaders. For that reason, I almost wish Putney had given it a different title because the insights found therein do not limit themselves to airpower but address the concerns of all leaders and planners in each of our military services. Clearly, Airpower Advantage merits inclusion in the required reading lists of anyone with an interest in campaign planning. Maj Gen David A. Deptula Hickam AFB, Hawaii

Book Synopsis Theater Campaign Planning by : Department of Defense
Download or read book Theater Campaign Planning written by Department of Defense and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook, “Theater Campaign Planning,” is intended to provide combatant command planners with a conceptual approach to developing theater campaign plans (TCPs). It is based on insights from a variety of sources over the last several years. This booklet is designed to assist planners by presenting a broad approach to TCPs and country-level planning that considers ongoing security cooperation efforts, current operations, the Phase 0 component of contingency plans, and resourcing constraints as part of the combatant commander's implementation of his strategic approach to the area of responsibility. Doing so successfully requires some modification of traditional operational planning approaches and an appreciation that every Department of Defense (DoD) action, word, and image communicates the real or perceived intent of DoD and the United States Government (USG).This handbook serves several purposes: Present a common intellectual approach to TCP and country planning, that provides CCMDs enough flexibility to meet their specific requirements; Improve the integration of posture, joint operations and steady-state security cooperation with the Phase 0 component of contingency planning—setting the theater; Explain where and how the Department's planning efforts align with the interagency, specifically but not limited to Department of State and USAID; Help CCMD planners build resource-informed TCPs that (1) identify a total resource demand signal to the Department and other government agencies, (2) link resource expenditures to CCMD objectives, and (3) explain the strategic or operational risks associated with resource shortfalls linked to theater end states. Achieving these purposes will enable the Department to take a significant stride forward in designing and executing well-integrated, resource-informed TCPs and country plans.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. John Andreas Olsen has written an insightful, compelling biography of retired U.S. Air Force colonel John A. Warden III, the brilliant but controversial air warfare theorist and architect of Operation Desert Storm s air campaign. Warden s radical ideas about air power s purposes and applications, promulgated at the expense of his own career, sparked the ongoing revolution in military affairs. Legendary in defense circles, Warden is also the author of "The Air Campaign: Planning for Combat" (republished by Brassey s, Inc. in 1989). Presenting both the positives and negatives of Warden s personality and impact in this objective portrait, Olsen offers a trenchant analysis of his revolutionary ideas and great accomplishments. "
