Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1995, over half of the nation's capability to deploy combat force by air will reside in the Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve. The absence of an overriding Soviet threat and mounting budgetary pressures could result in an even further shift of forces toward the reserve components. Although the air reserve components have proven themselves to be a ready, credible force, a dramatic shift in the delicate balance between active and reserve forces raises questions of cost-effectiveness. Such a shift could also have a harmful impact on the ability of the active component to support the reserve components with technical assistance and to sustain the reserve's requirement for experienced, prior service personnel. Due to the historical roots of the reserves in U.S. society and the role they play in the balance of power between the President, the Congress, and the states, any decision to radically alter the share of the Total Force borne by the reserve components will have significant military and political implications.

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 Synopsis Air Mobility Command's Total Force Integration by : Joe Santos
Download or read book Air Mobility Command's Total Force Integration written by Joe Santos and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 22 pages. 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 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.

Book Synopsis Rebalancing the Active and Reserve Component Forces by : Matthew C. Finnegan
Download or read book Rebalancing the Active and Reserve Component Forces written by Matthew C. Finnegan and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future security environment and current fiscal constraints will require the Air Force to become smaller, but remain highly capable, lethal, ready, agile, and deployable. To achieve these ends, the Air Force has to maintain effective relationships between each of its components and Congress while rebalancing the force to meet current realities and likely future trends. When incorporated effectively, the new Total Force Enterprise approach to the Active and Reserve Component mix will enhance the Air Force's ability to restore and maintain an appropriate active-reserve balance, while continuing the Air Force's historically very good relationship with the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard. This paper discusses the Air Force's Active and Reserve Components while examining the evolution of the Total Force Enterprise with emphasis on the Total Force Enterprise Review Process. Recommendations and enhancements to the Total Force Enterprise process are presented in three focus areas: Common Orientation, System Force Composition Analysis studies, and Communication Plan.
Book Synopsis Fixing the Mobility Air Forces New Way by : David S. Argyle
Download or read book Fixing the Mobility Air Forces New Way written by David S. Argyle and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Facing increased Combatant Commander (CCDR) demand for tanker support and dwindling post-war funding, Air Mobility Command (AMC) requested a solution. It received deployment credit approval for active duty aircrews flying three particular must-do missions. Normally these missions do not count as deployments. Resultantly, active duty workload measurement, deployment-to-dwell (D2D), increased reserve requirements. Reserve forces did not concur with AMC's original request. Now they face increased mobilization needs without receiving credit for flying those same missions. This inequity undercuts USAF readiness for three reasons. DoD budget officials warn of no post-war peace dividend. The need for cost effective reserve forces has risen. Retaining quality citizen airmen suffers from an uneven active-reserve set of rules. AMC's volunteer incentives are diluted by its one-size-fits-all aspect. A part of the reserves never reach the incentives' mobility reduction. Leaders should repair the workload inequity and inaccurate measurements. Only improving adopted fighter D2D methods for KC-135s will meet CCDR requirements.

Download or read book Air Mobility Operations (Joint Publication 3-17) written by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication provides joint doctrine for planning, employing, and assessing air mobility operations across the range of military operations. Air mobility is a network of systems that combines airlift, airdrop, aeromedical evacuation (AE), air refueling (AR), and air mobility support assets, processes, and procedures into an integrated whole to support the transport of personnel and materiel. The Secretary of Defense (SecDef) directs the assignment of air mobility forces to the Commander, United States Transportation Command (CDRUSTRANSCOM) and other combatant commanders (CCDRs). To deter threats against, or to assist in the defense or pursuit of United States (US) national interests, the Department of Defense maintains forces, organizations, and processes necessary to conduct air mobility operations. The National Air Mobility System (NAMS) is a broad and comprehensive system that provides the President, SecDef, and CCDRs with rapid global mobility. The mobility air forces (MAF) are those forces assigned to combatant commands that provide rapid global mobility and conduct air mobility operations. The MAF's four core functions are airlift, AR, air mobility support, and AE. NAMS consists of forces that perform intertheater, intratheater, and organic mobility operations. US Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) and the geographic combatant commands (GCCs) possess air mobility assets that are capable of performing both intertheater and intratheater operations. A unique aspect of these operations is their reliance on Global Air Mobility Support System (GAMSS) and the worldwide command and control (C2) capabilities of the Air Mobility Command 618th Tanker Airlift Control Center (618th TACC). The GAMSS is comprised of a limited number of permanent en route support locations plus mobile forces that deploy under the global reach laydown strategy. This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It sets forth joint doctrine to govern the activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations and provides the doctrinal basis for interagency coordination and for US military involvement in multinational operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs) and prescribes joint doctrine for operations, education, and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall objective. Joint doctrine established in this publication applies to the joint staff, commanders of combatant commands, subunified commands, joint task forces, subordinate components of these commands, and the Services. The guidance in this publication is authoritative; as such, this doctrine will be followed except when, in the judgment of the commander, exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise.

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.
