Book Synopsis Tactical Airlift and Direct Support by : Eric L. Westby
Download or read book Tactical Airlift and Direct Support written by Eric L. Westby and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In current counterinsurgency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the concept of direct support, where Air Force tactical airlift assets are placed under the tactical control (TACON) of ground commanders, has been developed and employed efficiently and effectively, and lauded by Army and Marine leaders. Yet the idea of direct support is regarded with disdain by the Air Force itself, largely due to the Air Force's cultural aversion to playing a supporting role. This culture can be changed. Increasing the education of young officers on the inherent value if not necessity of tactical airlift in counterinsurgency will raise awareness and appreciation for the tactical airlift mission. Increasing below-the-zone promotions and higher level awards for individual tactical airlift stars will increase pride and respect within the Air Force culture. The increasing number of senior Air Force leaders with mobility and tactical airlift backgrounds will also help shape the Air Force culture of the future. Finally, the continued employment of direct support will help the Air Force remain effective and relevant in the joint counterinsurgency fight, which is crucial to remaining relevant inside the Beltway."--Abstract.
Book Synopsis Defense Acquisitions by : Michael Sullivan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dept. of Defense (DoD) used nearly 700 aircraft, as well as commercial and leased aircraft, to carry about three million troops and 800,000 tons of cargo in support of wartime, peacetime, and humanitarian efforts in 2008. C-5s and C-17s move troops and cargo internationally (strategic airlift) and C-130s are the primary aircraft that moves them within a theater of operation (tactical airlift). Over the next four years, DoD plans to spend about $12 billion to modernize and procure airlifters and is currently studying how many it needs. This report: (1) identifies the status of DoD¿s modernization and acquisition efforts; and (2) determines how well DoD is addressing any capability gaps and redundancies. Includes recommendations.

Book Synopsis Airlift Doctrine by : Charles Miller
Download or read book Airlift Doctrine written by Charles Miller and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: n this extremely comprehensive overview of airlift and air mobility, Colonel Miller shows how the worldwide orientation of American foreign policy, the numerous threats to free-world interests, and the speed and complexity of modern warfare have combined with political and resource constraints to produce today's airlift doctrine and force structure. Airlift is the movement of goods and people to where they are needed, when they are needed there. Since the 1920s there has been an evolving awareness and articulation of how to best organize, train, and equip airlift forces for that mission. The worldwide orientation of American foreign policy, the numerous threats to free world interests, and the speed and complexity of modern warfare have combined with political and resource constraints to produce today's airlift doctrine and force structure. Colonel Miller's study traces these many interrelationships to discover what critical airlift decisions were made, why they were made, and what they may mean in the future. Airlift is the backbone of deterrence. A properly structured and equipped airlift force is critical to the successful execution of the national military strategy. How we think about airlift and how we translate those thoughts into a meaningful expression of how to develop, deploy, and employ airlift forces is vital to the national defense. Colonel Miller's study is a definitive step in that important process.

Book excerpt: A source of inter-service tension, C-7 ownership transferred to the Air Force in 1966, but the Air Force continued to fly them attached to Army units.2. [...] Air Force interest continued in 2006 with officials envisioning 100-150 LCAs.9 In December 2005, DOD noted the similarities between the FCA and LCA programs and merged them into the Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) program with the Army designated as lead. [...] In 2007, Rand conducted an Intra-theater Airlift Force Mix Analysis (IAFMA) for the Air Force to determine the optimum composition of the Air Force's intra-theater airlift fleet.18. [...] The Army proposes that its aircraft would be made available to the common-user airlift pool when not needed in a "direct support" role, but it is not clear that it is committed to obtaining the necessary command and control systems architecture mentioned above to ensure the aircraft are both visible and usable by a joint commander. [...] When asked about his preference in the JCA debate, General Norton Schwartz, then Commander of U. S. Transportation Command, questioned whether the Air Force was willing to support the Army in the manner the Army wants to 22 Congressional Budget Office Paper, Modernizing the Army's Rotary-Wing Aviation Fleet, November 2007, p. vii.

Book Synopsis Interservice Rivalry and Airpower in the Vietnam War by : Dr. Ian Horwood

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of this study are to establish the nature and levels of rivalry and dispute between the United States armed services over matters relating to the military application of airpower during the Vietnam period, and to assess the extent to which such rivalry may have distorted US operational policy in Southeast Asia. It is probably a truism to suggest that interservice rivalry has always been endemic among military establishments in the modern age, yet there are few monographs that deal specifically with the subject. Presumably, interservice rivalry is so commonplace that it excites little comment among military historians and analysts, except in passing. However, if interservice rivalry is so typical of military organisms then it constitutes one of their defining characteristics and is worthy of study for this reason alone.
