Over the past decade, remotely piloted aircraft (RPAs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have proven their worth in operations around the world.1 The Air Force and the Department of Defense (DoD) are working to increase the capabilities of existing unmanned systems and to develop new systems with improved capabilities. To this end, Air Force efforts are consistent with the Air Force Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) and the Air Force Transformation Flight Plan. The creation of The U.S. Air...

The first study, titled 'An Examination of the U.S. Air Force (Q, R) Policies for Managing Depot-Base Inventories: A Pilot Study' (AD-A031 485), evaluated and compared current Air Force EOQ policy with three alternative policies via computer simulation. The three alternative policies examined were: (1) the 'system myopic' variant to current Air Force policy, (2) the allocation policy, and (3) the 'depot only' policy. The second study (AD-A031 486) used demand history for a sample of 50 items...

This Task Assignment Plan will explain how Synergy, Inc. will support LGMM with a comprehensive review and analysis of the current Air Force (AF) modification process. The goal will be to minimize the time it takes for acquiring modification kits, administrative burden, AF oversight requirements and unnecessary contract requirements and costs. As a result, the reliability and maintainability (R&M) of the modifications process should be improved.

The strategic imperatives of military airpower have been widely debated since the beginnings of airpower itself. At the heart of these debates has been the idea of an airpower theory: a description, explanation, and even prediction for how and why airpower can provide advantage in military operations. This debate centers on the recognition that one must first create desirable parameters of an airpower theory before developing a feasible airpower strategy. The key to success in this endeavor...

Thinkers from Giulio Douhet to John Warden have typically addressed the kinetic application of airpower during a major contingency operation. Less well developed is the concept of theater air component campaign planning, similar to the campaign planning discussed in Joint Publication 5-0, Joint Operation Planning. Although absent from (AFDD) 2, a theaterwide campaign planning methodology would prove well suited for the air component of a combatant command, based on the concept of the joint...

The raison d'etre of our national Air Force is force application: possessing the capabilities to apply force, on command, to an adversary state as part of the United States and alliance joint operations team. We have two tenets regarding airpower. The first tenet is the belief that planning for the future of airpower is so critical to the United States, our friends, and our allies that it must be done right. To help ensure it is done right, we could gain much by examining how planning is...

Current planning and programming policies with a capabilities-based focus have spawned an intense interest in how to discern, define, and quantify Air Force capabilities. Capabilities based programming has meant different things to different organizations, but the core spirit of the policy on which we focus is that it aims to provide a programmed force ready to meet a range of possible contingencies given an uncertain future. Previous RAND Project AIR FORCE research presented a framework for...

If the Air Force decides that a specific function is required, it can acquire it three different ways. It can: (1) perform the function itself (i.e., in-house), (2) contract out (i.e., outsource) to another government organization (e.g., General Services Administration) in what is called an Interservice Support Agreement (ISSA), or (3) outsource to a private organization. When choosing the source that should perform a particular function, there are a number of issues that should be considered,...

This workshop was a product of discussions within the Peacekeeper Working Group, a group of elected officials appointed by the Governor, as well as the Human Services Task Force. There was deep concern from the projections prepared by URS-Berger that there is a potential for a large influx of transients into the Cheyenne area when the Peacekeeper Project gets under way. The goal of this workshop is to identify interested agencies that could be affected by this influx and try to work out a...

The U.S. Department of Defense is currently shifting funding from future investment programs to cover urgent war needs, accepting some increase in future risk in order to reduce risk in the near term, and this tension between current and future operational priorities is likely to worsen. To effectively manage risk across possible missions and between today and tomorrow, senior Air Force leaders must make difficult decisions. This monograph seeks to provide the Air Force with a framework to...

The Jet Engine Intermediate Maintenance (JEIM) shop traditionally has been located with the fighter unit it supports. Expeditionary requirements for quick deployment have led the U.S. Air Force to consider whether intermediate maintenance ought to be centralized. Besides expeditionary operations, current factors favoring centralization are the increasing technical complexity of engines, potential gains from economies of scale, and changes in experience levels of technicians. On the other hand,...

To lead is to choose. Choosing commits one's group to courses of action and to consequences. In 1995 the leaders of the United States Air Force asserted that long-range planning in the Air Force was broken and that they would fix it. Doing so requires vision, a sense of the evolving environment, and a process for linking visions to strategies and tasks. Bureaucracy without vision mistakes activity for progress. Vision without the wherewithal for change is called dreaming. Today, planning...

The Global War on Terrorism that began the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, seemed almost fated to lead to a second major war between the United States and Iraq. And it is now clear that the Air Force also was destined to play the leading role in creating the strategic conditions for victory in that war, executed by a total of 466,985 US and allied forces in Spring 2003. In the early morning of March 20, 2003 (local Baghdad time), two F-117 Stealth fighters launched out on a daring mission to bomb a...

On the subject of doctrine, there are two problems to be solved. The first is to perfect the means for devising sound doctrine. The second is to perfect the means for insuring that the doctrine we devise is communicated effectively and internalized by the people who must apply it. I have spent the better part of my career in the Air Force trying to improve the process by which we formulate doctrine. In this I must confess I have been far from successful. But in recent months, I have come to...

But are we working smart?' Aware of internal Air Force efforts to review how overseas operations during peacetime stress...
