Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the period 1995-97, the deployment of four Aerospace Expeditionary Forces (AEFs) to Bahrain, Jordan, and Qatar (x2) served as useful tests of the AEF concept first broached in its latter-day incarnation soon after "Operation Vigilant Warrior" in the Persian Gulf in 1994. Responding to a manifest need to be able to rapidly deploy aerospace power to deter or to halt aggression against U.S. interests abroad, USAF leadership has designed and implemented a new organizing concept for service culture and operations - the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF). The deployments of AEFs I - IV to the Middle East provided experience, data, and "lessons learned" that have since been incorporated into the EAF design. Based on available unclassified information, this study first comparatively considers the strengths and weaknesses of the aerospace expeditionary force concept evinced in the four deployments of 1995-97. Then, factoring in additional accounts of participants and the views of other writers, the author mines the accumulated evidence for analytical insights around six issue categories: planning, diplomatic preparation, force protection, logistics, command and control, and training and education. The study concludes that force protection and logistics are the most vexing challenges confronting architects and implementers of the EAF concept. Force protection may indeed prove to be too hard and too expensive in some cases.

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.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War, reductions in U.S. defense spending and military force structure has left our armed forces stretched too thin. No longer focused on defeating a peer competitor in a Major Theater War, U.S. military personnel now find themselves deployed overseas for a myriad of non-traditional, regionally focused Smaller-Scale Contingencies. Much of this increased tasking has fallen upon our Active Component (AC) Tactical Air (TACAIR) forces. However, the greater utilization of this combat arm in the 1990s has resulted in a "do-more-with-less" dilemma that has severely taxed AC TACAIR resources. Operational and personnel tempo rates are at levels that degrade aircraft material readiness, spare part inventories and personnel retention in all the Services. Since our National Military Strategy requires U.S. forces to be forward deployed and "globally engaged", ClNC tasking of finite AC TACAIR forces for overseas ̂deployments will not likely decrease in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Services must begin to explore more innovative ways to take advantage of a relatively underutilized resource: its substantial Reserve Component tactical air capability. Transforming our reserve TACAIR units into "selectively expeditionary" force packages modeled after the Air Force's Aerospace Expeditionary Force concept promises to be one such innovation, providing a "force multiplier" for the CINCs while offering much needed relief for overburdened AC units.

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).

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report addresses support of emerging Air Force employment strategies associated with Expeditionary Aerospace Forces (EAFs). EAF concepts turn on the premise that rapidly tailorable, quickly deployable, immediately employable, and highly effective air and space force packages can serve as a credible substitute for permanent forward presence. This research shows that to implement the EAF concept the Air Force will need to develop a comprehensive system of forward support infrastructure.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Cold War brought significant repercussions to the U.S. military. Budget decreases, force structure reductions, and the change in national security strategy from containment to engagement all led to a significant increase in USAF deployments. Now, USAF personnel feel they deploy too often, with little notice, causing a decrease in readiness, reduced quality of life, and retention problems. Air Force leaders worked for several years building a plan to meet theater commander-in-chief requirements, reduce the tempo, and take advantage of the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve contributions. To continue providing the theater commander-in-chief with a rapidly deployable, yet effective force to fulfill the new national security strategy, the Air Force Chief of Staff announced plans to develop the Air Force into an Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF). The EAF concept calls for organizing active duty, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve units into ten Air Expeditionary Forces (AEF) and two rapid response wings. The AEFs and rapid response wings will have a formal schedule to be available for contingency deployments. The Air Force Chief of Staff anticipates a byproduct of the formal scheduling and the addition of Guard and Reserve forces is reduced tempo across the Air Force and improvements in readiness, quality of life, and retention. After examining command and control, organizational structure, and personnel issues the reader will find the EAF will be responsive and efficient for contingency operations. The force can be tailored to the specific requirement and will be lean, to facilitate deployment. Integration of the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve into the EAF will initially help spread the workload and reduce the tempo for active forces. However, implementation of the EAF plan will produce several problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report addresses support of emerging Air Force employment strategies associated with Expeditionary Aerospace Forces (EAFs). Although much work remains to define these new responsibilities and prepare Air Force units to meet them, it is clear that the EAF concepts will play a central role in the future Air Force. FAF concepts turn on the premise that rapidly tailorable, quickly deployable, immediately employable, and highly effective air and space force packages can serve as a viable substitute for permanent forward presence in both the strategic and the tactical arenas. Success of the EAF will, to a great extent, depend on the effectiveness and efficiency of the Agile Combat Support (ACS) system.

Download or read book The Expeditionary Aerospace Force: Is the Air Force Really Expeditionary?. written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, the Air Force introduced a new concept for organizing, training, equipping, and deploying for overseas operations. Describing this change fundamentally as a change from a garrison to an expeditionary force, the new vision was called the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF). Under this concept, the Air Force declared it would provide rapidly responsive, tailored-to-need aerospace force capability, prepared and ready to conduct military operations across the spectrum of conflict. To effect this change, the Air Force compiled pools of force structure in ten groupings called Air Expeditionary Forces (AEFs). These AEFs represent aerospace capability in pre-determined, scheduled sets of forces (approximately 150 combat aircraft and 10,000-15,000 personnel). From these groupings, task organized force packages would deploy, providing forces for theater commanders' requirements short of major theater war. This new approach has been criticized by sources in and out of the Air Force. The author concludes that the EAF concept meets or exceeds virtually all of the most stringent criteria used to describe expeditionary units and concepts. However, the concept fails in one critical area: training. Under the new plan, the Air Force will continue to rely on existing training programs to prepare units and personnel for expeditionary operations. These systems do not fully integrate operational, logistics, and combat support unit training in a systematic way prior to employment in an operational theater. Nor has the service fully implemented an Air Force-wide program to instill an expeditionary mindset in all of its members. Until the Air Force captures its expeditionary philosophy and history in a single doctrinal source and fundamentally changes its approach to expeditionary training, Air Force people will find it difficult to embrace this new concept, and the service will fall short in its effort to institutionalize an expeditionary philosophy.

Book excerpt: This report documents the exceptional cross-service harmony that the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy have steadily developed in their conduct of integrated strike operations since the first Persian Gulf War in 1991. That close harmony contrasts sharply with the situation that prevailed throughout most of the Cold War, when the two services maintained separate and unique operating mindsets and lacked any significant interoperability features.
