Download or read book Reinvigorating the Nuclear Enterprise written by Niki J. Kissiar and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fifteen years ago, finding itself strapped for resources and desperately needing to draw down after the Cold War, the Air Force accepted risk by decreasing the number of MAJCOMs and reducing the number of career fields it maintained. As part of this initiative, they assigned ICBM forces to Air Force Space Command and merged the ICBM and Space operations career fields. What has occurred since the reorganization has diluted a career field once deep with nuclear experience. What remains is an environment where the Air Forces best and brightest nuclear officers transfer to space mission areas at the earliest opportunity because they understand that their skill set is not valued and they will not be competitive for promotion or command."--Abstract.
Book Synopsis Sustaining the U.S. Air Force Nuclear Mission by : Don Snyder
Download or read book Sustaining the U.S. Air Force Nuclear Mission written by Don Snyder and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States' nuclear deterrence is no more effective than its ability to carry out nuclear operations and other states' perceptions of this ability. The U.S. Air Force (USAF) has prioritized the reinvigoration and strengthening of its nuclear enterprise. However, there are inherent challenges to sustaining the capabilities of nuclear systems of systems. Perhaps the most pressing challenge currently facing the Air Force nuclear enterprise is sustaining the mission in the face of budgetary constraints. This report proposes possibilities for addressing this challenge. Coordination is key to this approach. Individual platforms must work together seamlessly for the nuclear system of systems to perform successfully. Any slippage in one system may cause schedule delays and increased costs for all other systems working in concert. This report outlines a double-layered framework for managing nuclear sustainment. This framework consists first of a set of sustainment plans for each system that follow a common format. The second layer, an overarching Air Force Nuclear Architecture and Mission Sustainment Plan, pulls together salient information from the individual, system-level plans to compile a master schedule for long-term mission sustainment. This framework should strengthen future nuclear deterrence capabilities through better planning and programming for the sustainment of these missions in the present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Report of an independent assessment of progress towards the goal of reinvigorating the Air Force nuclear enterprise in support of the strategic nuclear deterrent mission. The Air Force leadership implemented extraordinary measures following two serious incidents in 2007 and 2008. These measures included policy, inspection, organization, and leadership changes. This report finds that these measures have been effective in their intended purpose of re-establishing the professionalism expected of personnel in the nuclear enterprise, although some are not sustainable or desirable for the long term.

This book was released on 2015-01-10 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document from the Nuclear Oversight Board (NOB) guides long-term, continuous efforts to strengthen the Air Force nuclear enterprise (NE). It provides a strategic-level, Air Force-wide, perspective for all elements of the NE. It is designed to advance and monitor the overall health of the NE and its supporting infrastructure and processes. All Airmen should use this document as a source of senior leadership vision, priorities, and direction for the NE. The document is divided in three sections; the first provides a high-level Air Force perspective on nuclear deterrence, extended deterrence, and assurance of our allies and partners. It describes functions and capabilities across the Air Force that contribute to effective deterrence and how those capabilities interact. The second section introduces five strategic vectors where continued progress is needed to strengthen, integrate, and mature the people, organizations, processes, and capabilities of the NE. The final section outlines methods senior Air Force leaders will use to govern the NE, using vector champions to develop and coordinate actions to continuously improve the NE. The Air Force placed extraordinary emphasis on improving nuclear operations and surety over the last four years, with focus squarely on core nuclear deterrence operations (NDO) - and tremendous progress has been made. It is now time to take a wider view, improving integration between NDO and complementary and supporting Air Force missions while continuing to strengthen NDO.

Book excerpt: "The nuclear enterprise had been in the limelight, and its reinvigoration has been the number one priority for the Department of Defense and Air Force for the last decade. There has been a disconnect between senior leaders and the nuclear enterprise as a whole over the past 25 years. America's place in the world and global leadership in a new American Century is being torn between policy on nuclear weapons and broader strategic and foreign policy. The enduring vision that America can deepen and strengthen its uncontested global leadership and the growing realization that the balance of global power is shifting towards other countries pulls America's nuclear policy in two different directions. These are: advocating elimination of nuclear weapons in a world under non-threatening American primacy on the one hand, and on the other relying more heavily on its nuclear arsenal to sustain primacy as its edge in other elements of national power erodes. Senior civilian and Air Force leaders must navigate the disconnects and contradictions of policies and strategies and manage the media to build a nuclear enterprise tailored to current and future needs. In the end; nuclear weapons remain what they have always been - instruments of international policy."--Abstract.

Book Synopsis Command Of The Air by : General Giulio Douhet
Download or read book Command Of The Air written by General Giulio Douhet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.

Download or read book Missileer written by George L. Chapman and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study examines the Air Force ICBM operators, missileers, and their evolution from the 1950s to 2017. The Air Force has long struggled to embrace and share the story of the missileer and the ballistic missile mission. Rather than provide yet another study on nuclear strategy, proliferation, and deterrence, this paper serves to show how technology, organizational structures, and personnel and mission challenges have influenced missileers as a corps of nuclear professionals for 60 years. The story of missileers has been captured through the periodization of three epochs: The Rise of the ICBM Mission, 1959-1989; Post-Cold War ICBM Drawdown, 1989-2009; and, Reinvigorating the ICBM Mission, 2009-2017. The influences of technology, organizational structure, personnel and mission challenges, varied in relative influence in each of these periods. Chapter 4 provides analysis from the vantage point of how missileers were developed and promoted through the personnel system throughout the three epochs. The final chapter of this study provides several observations and implications drawn from an assessment of the influences on missileers and the ICBM mission. Missileer heritage has largely been lost from contemporary discourse following two-decades of neglect. The recent creation of Air Force Global Strike Command, its elevation to a four-star command, and establishing an independent 13N Air Force Specialty Code for the Nuclear and Missile Operations officer is demonstrative of contemporary refocusing on the nuclear enterprise. While these actions hold the promise of institutional course-correction, it cannot be assumed a panacea to prevent future service parochialism and functional tribalism that has undermined missileers and the ICBM mission in the past. Primacy must be given, not just to nuclear weapon systems, but also to those who operate them as their solemn stewards—the missileer"--Abstract.
