Air Power and the Ground War in
Vietnam: Ideas and Actions
Donald J. Mrozek

Dr. Mrozek focuses on expectations concerning the impact of air-
power on the ground war. He describes some of the actual effects
but avoids treatment of some of the most dramatic air actions of
the war, such as the bombing of Hanoi. He observes that the appli-
cation of airpower is influenced by factors far beyond the battle-
field.

Air Force Recruiting:
Considerations for Increasing
the Proportion of Black and
Hispanic Persons in the
Enlisted Force

Martin W. Pellum

Major Pellum examines the Air Force minor-
ity recruitment program for enlisted mem-
bers. He notes that if the Air Force reflects
America’s strength, its members reflect
America’s people. Minority representation in
the armed forces has been and likely will con-
tinue to be a political topic of debate as the
entire country grapples with issues of fair-
ness and equal opportunity amid changes in
the nature of work and in America’s work-
force. He identifies several significant factors
to consider in developing a_ synergistic
recruiting program aimed at accessioning
blacks and Hispanics not only with the qual-
ities needed to successfully perform increas-
ingly complex job tasks, but also in the num-
bers representative of society. Not intended to
outline step-by-step procedures nor reveal
the solutions to all the problems, this study
highlights the issues and is written to appeal
to a wide-ranging audience.

The Conventional Bomber Force
War-Horses for Global Conflicts

V. Frank Vollmar

Colonel Vollmar questions whether the cur-
rent conventional bomber force is adequately
organized, equipped, and modernized to meet
basic security needs and project power in the
post-cold war era. He assesses the use of the
conventional bomber in several conflicts and
exercises and analyzes the capabilities of this
force (B-52s, B-1s, and B-2s). He concludes
that the present conventional bomber force is
powerful but requires modifications to keep
pace with world political changes. Colonel
Vollmar offers recommendations and solu-
tions to increase the bombers’ capabilities in
conventional warfare.

Does the United States Need
Space-Based Weapons?

William L. Spacy II

Major Spacy examines the kinds of weapons
that have been proposed for use in space. He
compares their capabilities with those of their
surface-based counterparts. He addresses
two questions: What do space-based weapons
have to offer that other forms of military
power lack? What are space-based weapons
likely to cost both in terms of dollars and in
lost opportunities for pursuing other sys-
tems? Major Spacy evaluates the theoretical
capabilities of orbital weapons and compares
them to weapons already in existence and
concepts proposed for development. His ob-
jective is to provide insight into where future
investments should be made if the United
States is to protect its increasingly important
space-based assets and retain its position as
a global leader able to project military power
wherever necessary.

' The Art of Wing Leadership
and Aircrew Morale in
Combat

John J. Zentner

Colonel Zentner addresses the role that the Air
Force wing commander plays in affecting the
level of aircrew morale during combat. He
defines aircrew morale and establishes a frame-
work within which aircrew morale can_be
assessed in three historical case studies of air
combat. Colonel Zentner answers this question:
Is it possible to identify those characteristics of
leadership that are able to sustain aircrew
morale in the face of significant losses? He con-
cludes that aircrew control over development of
combat tactics was the most important element
affecting morale. Colonel Zentner recommends
that the USAF take steps to modify doctrine and
the professional military education curriculum
to relate these findings to the combat air forces.

\t4’. Expendable Remotely
ar Piloted Vehicles for
* Strategic Offensive
Airpower Roles

Dennis Larm

Major Larm examines the feasibility of develop-
ing expendable remotely piloted vehicles (RPV)
and explores future concepts of conventional US
offensive airpower roles. He outlines the histori-
cal base of the larger category of unmanned aer-
ial vehicles. Major Larm does not propose to
take the pilot out of the cockpit, but he exam-
ines the concept of taking the cockpit out of the
aircraft. By incorporating the added dimension
of employing one-use vehicles to this concept, he
attempts to reveal representative—though not
all-encompassing—innovative airpower ideas.
Major Larm’s conclusion is that the use of
expendable RPVs for strategic offensive airpower
roles is a viable concept.

Conflicting with Airmen over
CAS Doctrine and Employment

Michael Lewis

Major Lewis examines the long-running dis-
pute between the Army and the Air Force over
the effective employment of airpower for close
air support (CAS) of ground forces. He focuses
on four main issues: priorities in the employ-
ment of airpower; ownership and apportion-
ment of tactical air assets; command and con-
trol; and the single or multipurpose aircraft
debate. Major Lewis discusses the evolution of
Lt Gen Edward “Ned” Mallory Almond’s views,
thoughts, and actions from World War II
through the Korean War because the central
issues he identified remain the focus of the
debate today.

States has adequately prepared itself to
counter asymmetrical measures against its

The Quest: Haywood Hansell and American
Strategic Bombing in World War II

Charles Griffith

This biography of Maj Gen Haywood S. Hansell Jr. provides an in-
depth look at the life and career of one of airpower’s pioneer
thinkers. Hansell’s professional life was devoted to the theory and
practice of strategic airpower—the single most controversial mili-
tary debate of the twentieth century. Hansell believed that wars
could and should be won through precision bombing of military
and industrial/commercial targets, a theory and practice that the
US Army Air Forces abandoned during World War II because of the
dictates of existing technology, the demands of combat, and the
fact that the passions of war swept away moral concerns involving
strategic bombing. Nevertheless, Hansell’s main contribution to
air doctrine was the concept that through selective targeting and
an ability to place the bombs on those targets, airpower could win
wars by crippling an enemy’s ability to supply his forces and with-
out causing wanton death and destruction.

Middle East Security Issues:
In the Shadow of Weapons

Barry R. Schneider, editor

This study addresses questions that demand an answer if US
national security policy is to be well informed. In “NBC and Missile
Proliferation in the Middle East,” Lawrence Scheinman summarizes
the nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons capabilities and mis-
sile systems of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Libya, and Syria. “Recent
Developments in the Persian Gulf,” by Anthony H. Cordesman, looks
at both the conventional and weapons of mass destruction military
balance between the states in the region. “Arab Perspectives on
Middle Eastern Security,” by Ibrahim A. Karawan, concludes that
“the fact that the Middle East has not been among the success sto-
ries in curbing the spread of nuclear weapons is not surprising.”
Karawan believes that policy makers in the surrounding Arab and
Moslim states cannot ignore the fact of Israeli nuclear weapons and
explains the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons in such
states as a natural deterrence response. “Regional Security and
Arms Control in the Middle East: The Nuclear Dimension,” by Avner
Cohen, explains the diametrically opposite approaches taken by the
two sides in the Arms Control and Regional Security negotiations.
“The Egyptian-Israeli Confrontation over the Nuclear Nonpro-
liferation Treaty,” by W. Andrew Terrill, contrasts Egypt's changing
approach to the Israeli nuclear weapons possession.

Battlefield of the Future: Twenty-first
Century Warfare Issues

Barry R. Schneider and Lawrence E. Grinter, editors

This is a book about strategy and war fighting in the midst of a
revolution in military affairs as the world moves into the twenty-
first century. Composed of 10 essays, the book looks at such sub-
jects as debate over the future of airpower, the unique threat of
biological warfare, the impact of the information revolution on
warfare, and how the changes in military technology might require
a rethinking of principles of warfare. The book also examines
whether we are going through, at the turn of the century, a new
revolution in military affairs caused by new military technologies,
new organization for warfare, and new strategies for employing
forces on future battlefields.

Strategic Paralysis: An Airpower
Theory for the Present

Jason Barlow

Major Barlow proposes an independent strategy
for applying airpower to change the behavior of
the opposing forces government. he author
rejects the Clausewitizian concept of strategic
centers of gravity as ambiguous and static.
Major Barlow asserts that this notion leads mil-
itary planners in a futile search for a single tar-
get that, if destroyed, will cause the defeat of the
enemy. He substitutes an approach to strategic
targeting that is based on the national elements
of value (NEV) model. This model recognizes the
interaction of key elements of society; leader-
ship, industry, armed forces, population, trans-
portation, communication, and alliances. By
successfully targeting and destroying the
enemy's NEVs, the US will cause strategic
paralysis and thus defeat the enemy's ability
and will to continue the fight. Major Barlow
concludes that strategic paralysis should form
the basis for airpower strategy in the future.

Michael O. Beale

Major Beale examines the role operations Deny
Flight and Deliberate Force played in achieving
a peaceful settlement to ethnic conflict in
Bosnia-Herzegovina in the early 1990s. To help
the reader understand the role Deny Flight and
Deliberate Force played in getting a peace
agreement signed, the author explains the polit-
ical and historical context of the war in Bosnia-
Herzegovina. While Deny Flight was generally
ineffective in its mission, Deliberate Force was,
in the words of US Secretary of Defense William
Perry, “the absolutely crucial step in bringing
the warring parties to the negotiating table at
Dayton, leading to the peace agreement.”

Shooting Down a “Star”: Program
437, the US Nuclear ASAT System
and Present-Day Copycat Killers

Clayton K. S. Chun

Colonel Chun undertakes a case study of an
experimental US antisatellite defense fielded by
the Air Force in the 1960s as a departure for
assessing the need for an ASAT system today.
The author argues that the US Air Force was
able to develop a relatively effective system
based on rudimentary technology. Using aging
booster rockets (the Thor ICBM) and existing
tracking and targeting radar systems, the Air
Force was able to intercept satellites. Colonel
Chun argues that extrapolating from this his-
torical example several states, particularly
North Korea, Iran, India, and the Peoples
Republic of China, could use widely available
improved missiles and radar systems to develop
ASAT weapons that would make critical US and
allied space systems (military and commercial)
vulnerable to attack, thus seriously undermin-
ing our offensive and defensive capabilities and
perhaps wreak havoc on our economic system.

proposes an indivisible airpower concept and argues that it would
result in a far more flexible aerospace force structure—one that
gets the most from our increasingly expensive and limited assets
and applies the right force at the right place at the right time.

A Combat Operations C°l: Fundamentals and
Interactions
George E. Orr

The author introduces basic definitions, functions, and processes of
command, control, communications, and intelligence (C’l). He devel-
ops a conceptual model of the combat operations process based on
the American approach war. The study investigates the stochastic
nature of combat operations and develops a guide to effective com-
mand. Major Orr concludes that a distributed C’°l architecture
designed to exploit the unpredictability of combat is best suited to
the true nature of combat and the strengths of American fighting
units. (Air University Press originally published this book in 1983 as

Deliberate Force: A Case Study in
Effective Air Campaigning
Robert C. Owen, editor

Operation Deliberate Force, conducted between 30 August and 20
September 1995, was the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's air
campaign to advance the cause of peace in the Balkans region.
This study of that campaign examines how and with what consid-
erations the planners and executors of Deliberate Force linked
military operations with the goals they were charged to attain. In
16 essays, 11 contributors discuss the geopolitical, sociological,
diplomatic, technological, and operational factors that shaped the
characteristics and outcome of Deliberate Force and, in so doing,
identify the implications of this air campaign for future conflicts.

Beyond Horizons: A Half Century
of Air Force Space Leadership

David N. Spires; George W. Bradley III, senior editor; Rick W.
Sturdevant and Richard S. Eckert, associate editors

This book is a study of the Air Force's long involvement in initiat-
ing, developing, and applying the technology of space-based sys-
tems in support of the nation’s security. It ranges from America’s
space and missile efforts prior to the launch of the Soviet sputniks
in 1957, right up to the coming of age of military space employ-
ment in the Persian Gulf War of 1991. Finally, the study offers an
assessment of the Air Force's leadership position in the ongoing
debate over service roles and missions and its vision for the
nation’s space program entering the new century. This is a slightly
revised edition of a book originally published by Air Force Space
Command in 1997.

The War in the Air, 1914-1994

Alan Stephens, editor

This book contains the proceedings of a conference held by the
Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in Canberra in 1994. Since its
publication by the RAAF'’s Air Power Studies Centre in that year,
the book has become a widely used reference at universities, mil-
itary academies, and other educational institutions around the
world. This American edition is a somewhat shortened version
with minor editorial changes.

The contributors discuss the evolution of airpower from World War
I to the near future. Essay subjects include World War I; doctrinal
development in the interwar period; strategic bombing and sup-
port of surface forces in World War II; and airpower in the Korean
War, Vietnam War, Arab-Israeli Wars, Falklands War, and Persian
Gulf War; plus coverage of airpower in such peripheral conflicts as
Operation El Dorado Canyon, the Malayan Emergency, and the
Israeli raid on the Osirak nuclear reactor.

The Army and Its Air Corps: Army
Policy toward Aviation, 1919-1941

James P. Tate

From the Armistice in 1918 to the late 1930s, there was continu-
ous controversy over the place of aviation in the military estab-
lishment. This book details how airpower visionaries, with varying
degrees of tact, often risked charges of insubordination in preach-
ing the gospel of airpower. As aviation technology advanced and as
Army leaders were “educated” in the capabilities of aircraft, they
showed genuine interest in the potential of airpower. The author
contends that their decisions often favored the Air Corps and that
the air arm received a lion’s share of the Army budget during a

Heart of the Storm: The Genesis
of the Air Campaign against Iraq
Richard T. Reynolds

Colonel Reynolds presents a firsthand account of the struggle to
design and implement the air campaign that proved instrumental
in defeating Iraq in the Gulf War. Through documentary research
and dialogue derived from interviews with key players such as
Generals Dugan, Russ, Loh, and Horner, he traces the evolution
of the air campaign plan known as Instant Thunder from its ori-
gins in the mind of Col John A. Warden III to the decision by
General Schwarzkopf to employ airpower as his weapon of choice
against Saddam Hussein. Heart of the Storm provides behind-the-
scenes insights into how future decisions to use airpower will
likely be made. It is a companion volume to Mann's Thunder and
Lightning.

Toward an Air and Space Force:
Naval Aviation and the Implication
for Space Power

Mark P. Jelonek

The Air Force and Air Force Space Command
need an official implementation plan to inte-
grate space into air operations or they might
founder in this third attempt to transition to
an air and space force. The historical prece-
dent established during the integration of avi-
ation into the US Navy from 1921 to 1941 sug-
gests the policy areas essential to successful
integration. The Air Force has initiated several
excellent programs to increase the knowledge
and understanding of space operations in the
flying community by incorporating space
capabilities and products into air operations,
professional military community by incorpo-
rating space capabilities and products into air
operations, professional military education,
and field exercises. Including space power in
war games is also promoting understanding
and creating an environment for innovation.
The Air Force is on the verge of a bitter dispute
between combat aircraft; intelligence, surveil-
lance, and reconnaissance aircraft; unmanned
aerial vehicles; and space systems. From this
debate, the Air Force must establish priorities.
While space operations officers have earned
the highest ranks in the Air Force, they are
underrepresented in the command positions.
Providing opportunities for space operators to
experience air operations will cultivate aero-
space officers to employ the aerospace force.
The Air Force can benefit from this historical
analogy by recognizing that integration is more
than the acquisition of weapons and combat
capabilities. Integration relies on a powerful
human component that will ultimately deter-
mine the success or failure of the endeavor.

The Paths of Heaven:
The Evolution of Airpower Theory

Edited by Phillip S. Meilinger

By giving airpower thinkers their due, The Paths of Heaven coun-
terbalances the Air Force’s tendency to emphasize operational
concerns at the expense of theory. Most of the fifteen essays are
contributed by current or former faculty of the School of Advanced
Airpower Studies at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama.
Collectively, the authors trace the development of airpower theory
from its origins with Giulio Douhet, through the formulation of
airpower doctrine during the interwar years at the Air Corps
Tactical School, to current efforts to codify a cogent theory of
space power. In the words of retired chief of staff Gen Ronald R.
Fogleman, “The Paths of Heaven is a valuable means of increasing
our expertise in the employment of airpower.”

The Air Campaign: John Warden and the
Classical Airpower Theorists

David R. Mets

In light of the age-old belief of Confucius that no idea is new, Mets

several twentieth-century antecedents to Warden, including Giulio
Douhet, Hugh Trenchard, and Billy Mitchell to distill a pattern.
Mets also addresses whether “the argument that antedated the
Gulf War to the effect that such conflicts between states using
conventional weapons and methods are a passing phenomenon.”
Chapter 6, the concluding chapter, provides an overview of Mets’s
discussion.

The Air Force Role in Low-Intensity Conflict
David J. Dean

Colonel Dean examines the increasing importance of third world
countries in global affairs. Their vital natural resources and
geostrategic locations make them the object of intense competition
between the superpowers and a ripe target for a new category of
conflict. Because of the high probability of US involvement in third
world conflicts, we must adapt our resources to acquire the flexi-
bility demanded by low-intensity conflict.

Beyond the Paths of Heaven:
The Emergence of Space Power Thought

Bruce M. DeBlois, editor

Major issues have plagued the US military space community for
years. Foremost among these issues is the relationship between
air and space. This work is a comprehensive examination of space
power. Military space-lift vehicle requirements, space architec-
tures, and ground support infrastructure are major issues.
Graduate students at the School of Advanced Airpower Studies
researched and discussed a variety of these issues and their
efforts are brought together here as a collection of master’s degree
research theses. The significance of this book lies in the synergism
of the contributions. Although each of the articles reflects varying,
well-documented, independent perspectives with both strengths
and weaknesses, in total, the articles give a mature summary of
the best available military thought regarding space power. The
first three papers examine space organization, doctrine, and
architecture. The rest are loosely grouped as predominantly sanc-
tuary/survivability, space control, or high-ground perspectives.

Rise of the Fighter Generals: The Problem
of Air Force Leadership (1945-1982)

Michael Worden

Colonel Worden relies on oral histories, personal interviews, mili-
tary and social histories, quantitative data, and _ sociological
research to show how fighter generals rose to domination in the
Air Force. From its inception through the 1960s, the Air Force was
dominated by bomber pilots. Embracing an absolutist perspective,
bomber pilots struggled to maintain their dominance. In the
1960s, however, they saw their positions of leadership slowly
yielding to the experience, broader education, and pragmatism of
fighter pilots. This study terminates in 1982 when the leadership
changes with the selection of a string of generals with fighter
backgrounds as Air Force chiefs of staff.

Implementing Joint Vision 2010:
A Revolution in Military Affairs
for Strategic Air Campaigns

Christopher G. Warner

Implication of the CJCS’s Joint Vision 2010 and the United States
Air Force’s Global Engagement will lead to a strategic air campaign
revolution in military affairs. A strategic air campaign can perform
worldwide mobility to deter aggression or win battles and wars
with application of combat power. These future air campaigns
should achieve strategic objectives that prevent crisis escalation,
enhance deterrence, or support other nonmilitary national objec-
tives with timely delivery of logistical resources and people world-
wide. The synthesis of today’s airpower doctrine; tomorrow's dom-
inant battle-space knowledge, JV2010 operational-concepts
development; rapid and effective command, control, communica-
tions, computers, and intelligence; high-penetration, low-observ-
able aircraft employing precision weapons rapidly, disproportion-
ately and against parallel target sets; and strategic airlift providing
critical resources and supporting worldwide mobility will give the
joint force commander and the US military significant long-range
strategic airpower capabilities to achieve national security objec-
tives. As we complete this synthesis, the United States will expe-
rience a strategic air campaign revolution in military affairs.

The Role of Airpower in the Iran-Iraq War

Ronald E. Bergquist

This book examines the air war between Iran and Iraq. Rather
than simply describing what happened in the war, it attempts to
discern why Iran and Iraq used their airpower as they did. It
shows how the combatants value airpower, what aspects of air-
power appear most important to Iranian and Iraqi national lead-
ers, and how their values and needs led them to use airpower in
ways quite apart from Western professional expectations. The
results highlight considerations that affect the use of airpower by
third world nations.

analyses of the causes, nature, and conduct of war and conflict in
the Soviet Union, the Middle East, Sinic Asia (China, Japan, and
Vietnam), Latin America, and Africa. Drs. Blank, Lawrence
Grinter, Karl P. Magyar, Lewis B. Ware, and Bynum E. Weathers
conclude that non-Western cultures and societies do not reject
war but look at violence and conflict as a normal and legitimate
aspect of sociopolitical behavior.

demise of the Soviet Union presents the perfect transitional period
for SEAD planners to create new approaches to countering the
information-based integrated air defense system nets. He looks at
the foundations and evolution of SEAD, identifies pertinent vari-
ables, and shows how they have changed. Colonel Brungess con-
cludes that fiscal reality demands that the services forge joint

Bombing to Surrender: The
Contribution of Airpower to
the Collapse of Italy, 1943

Philip A. Smith

Major Smith examines the contribution of air-
power to the 1943 collapse of Italy. His study is
largely about competing airpower strategies dur-
ing World War II. He presents his own view of
this 50-year-old debate. Major Smith does not
offer another absolute ruling, nor does he repre-
sent a bias toward one form of employing air-
power over another, but his study attempts to
document an important exception to the most
current panacea target. He cites several broad
works—Robert A. Pape’s Bombing to Win:
Airpower and Coercion in War, the United States
Strategic Bombing Survey Reports, Ernest R.
May’s “Lessons” of the Past: The Use and Misuse
of History in American Foreign Policy, and
Frederick William Deakin’s The Brutal Friend-
ship: Mussolini, Hitler, and the Fall of Italian
Fascism—to identify examples where the psy-
chological effects of airpower outweighed the
physical damage caused by bombing.

Attacking the Theater Mobile
Ballistic-Missile Threat

David E. Snodgrass

Major Snodgrass reviews the performance of
US offensive and defensive systems against
Iraq's Scuds during Operation Desert Storm in
1991 and examines current US efforts to
defeat these potentially destabilizing weapons.
The danger of third world countries employing
theater ballistic missiles has increased.
Reflecting the realities of the new world order,
theater missile defense is the first priority, and
national missile defense is the second priority.
Major Snodgrass covers the pros and cons of
competing concepts to accomplish missile
threat. This paper addresses how best to
accomplish attack operations against the
mobile ballistic missiles before they are
launched. Using five basic criteria in his eval-
uation, he concludes that a multilayered

approach, consisting of attack operations,
active defense, passive defense, and a robust
C'l network, forms the framework for the most
effective mobile missile defense.

Jeffrey L. Stephenson

Major Stephenson focuses on the air refueling
of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) once under-
way to their assigned missions. He states the
necessity of UAVs, lists assumptions, and
gives a brief background. He discusses three
Air Force UAV systems (Predator, DarkStar,
and Global Hawk) and compares and analyzes
the systems and the methods of air refueling.
Major Stephenson concludes with a brief
review of the implications for the Air Force and
airpower enthusiasts.

The Future of NATO's Tactical
Air Doctrine

Linda E. Torrens

Major Torrens analyzes the impact that expan-
sion and cooperation with the Partnership for
Peace nations will have on NATO's tactical air
doctrine. The end of the cold war diminishes the
primacy of air superiority as a focus of NATO
doctrine. To integrate former Warsaw Pact coun-
tries and military personnel, NATO will need to
overcome the problems presented by nonstan-
dard, outdated Soviet-made military hardware;
ethnic, language, and cultural diversity of the
former Warsaw Pact nations; and deeply
ingrained, Soviet-based military philosophies. A
second major challenge facing NATO is out-of-
area operations. NATO will need to reshape its
doctrine to meet these challenges.

The Development of Military
Night Aviation to 1919

William Edward Fischer Jr.

Major Fischer examines the development of military night aviation
from its origins through the First World War. Emphasis is on the
evolution of night flying in those countries that fought on the
Western Front, namely France, Germany, Great Britain, and the
United States. While night flying occurred in other theaters, the
most intense air effort was clearly in the west. There, belligerents
pressed aviation technology and tactics to the limit. To illustrate
the rapid development of night military aviation during the First
World War, the author surveys the state of night flying prior to
August 1914. The author concludes that the Western Front bel-
ligerents failed to appreciate and conserve the lessons of night fly-
ing learned during the First World War.

Ideas, Concepts, Doctrine: Basic Thinking in the
United States Air Force, 1907-1960, Volume I

Robert Frank Futrell

In this first of a two-volume study, Dr. Futrell presents a chrono-
logical survey of the development of Air Force doctrine and think-
ing from the beginnings of powered flight to the onset of the space
age. He outlines the struggle of early aviation enthusiasts to gain
acceptance of the airplane as a weapon and win combat-arm sta-
tus for the Army Air Service (later the Army Air Corps and Army
Air Force). He surveys the development of airpower doctrine dur-
ing the 1930s and World War II and outlines the emergence of the
autonomous US Air Force in the postwar period. Futrell brings
this first volume to a close with discussions of the changes in Air
Force thinking and doctrine necessitated by the emergence of the
intercontinental missile, the beginnings of space exploration and
weapon systems, and the growing threat of limited conflicts result-
ing from the Communist challenge of wars of liberation.

Robert Frank Futrell

In this volume, the author traces the new directions that Air Force
strategy, policies, and thinking took during the Kennedy adminis-
tration, the Vietnam War, and the post-Vietnam period. Futrell
outlines how the Air Force struggled with President Kennedy's
redefinition of national security policy and Robert S. McNamara’s
managerial style as secretary of defense. He describes how the Air
Force argued that airpower should be used during the war in
Southeast Asia. He chronicles the evolution of doctrine and orga-
nization regarding strategic, tactical, and airlift capabilities and
the impact that the aerospace environment and technology had on
Air Force thinking and doctrine.

Making Strategy: An Introduction to National
Security Processes and Problems

Dennis M. Drew
Donald M. Snow

The authors analyze the evolution of strategy and the process by
which strategy is devised. This book is descriptive rather than
prescriptive in nature. In contrast to authors who offer advice and
counsel concerning how to make strategy decisions, Dr. Snow and
Colonel Drew concentrate on what decisions military and political
leaders must make. The authors examine the various military and
political factors that influence those decisions.

Science and Technology: The Making
of the Air Force Research Laboratory

Robert W. Duffner

Robert W. Duffner’s Science and Technology: The Making of the Air
Force Research Laboratory addresses the far-reaching implica-
tions of science and technology by recounting the events that led
to the creation of a single Air Force laboratory. This engaging story
of how the Air Force moved from 13 separate labs to one consoli-
dated lab reflects that service’s determination to reinvigorate its
science and technology infrastructure and thereby strengthen the
nation's defense for the twenty-first century. Part one considers
why the Air Force decided to consolidate its far-flung science and
technology enterprise into one lab, while part two relates how the
service implemented the new lab. Dr. Duffner offers a unique per-
spective on a watershed event in the life of the United States Air
Force.

> Air Force Policy for the
" Role of Public Affairs

Robin K. Crumm

This paper shows how the conduct of military
operations in the Information Age demands
new strategies, new tactics, and new ways of
thinking. It raises moral and ethical issues
regarding the relationship between the mili-
tary, the media, and the American public; and
it explores the relationship between Informa-
tion Warfare (IW) and Public Affairs (PA). Three
possible options emerge regarding the IW roles
PA might adopt. Option One—a “Hands Off
Policy"—seeks to avoid any association with
IW and represents the current PA approach.
Option Two upholds the primary of truth and
acknowledges the active role PA must take in
IW. Option Three suggests PA abandon its pol-
icy to tell the truth and actively engage in all
IW activities.

United States Air Force Lessons in
Counterinsurgency: Exposing

John W. Doucette

Major Doucette addresses how insurgent war-
fare is fundamentally different from conven-
tional wars. Two questions are germane: What
are the major problems counterinsurgency
(COIN) operations present airmen? And does
doctrine provide appropriate guidance to over-
come these problems? He examines the expe-
riences of US airmen in combating insurgen-
cies and contrasts current COIN doctrine with
reality. Major Doucette also examines the ade-
quacy of US Air Force and joint doctrine for
COIN operations. He provides conclusions and

John Boyd and John Warden:
Air Power's Quest for Strategic
Paralysis

David S, Fadok

Colonels John Boyd and John Warden have
contributed to the evolution of airpower theory
through their respective works on strategic
paralysis.

Boyd's thoughts on strategic paralysis are
process-oriented and aim at psychological inca-
pacitation. He speaks of folding an opponent
back inside himself by operating inside his
observation-orientation-decision-action (OODA)
loop. His theory of conflict is Clausewitzian, em-
phasizing the mental and moral spheres of con-
flict, and he considers it important to teach the
genius of war. Major Fadok describes Warden's
theory as form-oriented and aiming at physical
paralysis. This theory is Jominian in the sense
that it is important to teach warriors how to
act—that is, to teach the principles of war. Major
Fadok concludes that strategic paralysis theory
has moved from an early emphasis on targeting
war-supporting industry to a current emphasis
on war-supporting command to a future
emphasis on war-supporting information.

Edgar D. Whitcomb

The first Army Air Corps navigational class at Miami University
graduated in November 1940. In this book, Colonel Whitcomb fol-
lows these first celestial navigators through their World War II tri-
als. Twenty-five personal stories and a series of photographs paint
the stories of these men as they fought—combining the ancient art
of navigating by the stars with the equipment on their B-17s,
became prisoners of war, lived through the Bataan Death March,
escaped from Japanese captors, survived primitive conditions in
the Philippines, died for their country, or later served the US as
navigators on the aircraft of presidents and dignitaries.

Biplanes and Bombsights:
British Bombers in World War I

George K. Williams

Colonel Williams, USAF, Retired, presents a comprehensive study of
British bombing efforts in the Great War. He contends that the official
version of costs and results underplays the costs while overplaying
the results. Supported by postwar findings of both US and British
evaluation teams, he argues that British bombing efforts were signif-
icantly less effective than heretofore believed. Colonel Williams also
presents a strong argument that German air defenses caused con-
siderably less damage to British forces than pilot error, malfunction-
ing aircraft, and bad weather. That we believed otherwise supports
the notion that British bombing raids had forced Germany to trans-
fer significant air assets to defend against them. Williams, however,
found no evidence that any such transfer occurred. Actual results,
Colonel Williams argues, stand in strong contrast to claimed results.

Making Operational Support
Airlift Ready for War

David D. Dyche

Colonel Dyche defines operational support air-
lifts (OSA) wartime roles and missions. He
traces OSA's roots from World War I up to con-
solidation under the Military Airlift Command
(MAC) in 1975. He discusses organizational
changes over the past 20 years. How should
OSA be organized, trained, and equipped in
peacetime to meet its wartime mission?
Answering that question is central to Colonel
Dyche’s study. He recommends reorganization,
better training, new mentality, modern equip-
ment, and a new name—combat operations
support airlift (COSA). Colonel Dyche argues the
need for Air Force OSA to change soon. If the
proposed changes are made in peacetime today,
COSA will be ready for war.

over the role of active, reserve, and guard forces
in the total fighter mix. Colonel Gladman con-
cludes that the fighter force in the twenty-first
century will be rapidly deployable, CONUS-
based, cost-effective, and politically shaped and
motivated. He argues that the associate concept
used in the airlift and air refueling communities
offers a feasible solution for the fighter force.

Command and Control Warfare:
Putting Another Tool in the

Norman B. Hutcherson

Colonel Hutcherson argues that the US armed
forces must develop a strategic mix for decision
makers at each level of war that provides the

information they need, at the time and place
they want it, and in a format they can use. He
describes the background and development of
command and control warfare (C’W) and points
out its importance on and off the battlefield.
Colonel Hutcherson looks at operations secu-
rity, electronic warfare, physical destruction,
psychological operations, and military deception
and warns the war fighter against relying solely
on the present C’W construct of only these five
pillars. He recommends that as new techniques
or capabilities are developed and perfected, they
should also be added to keep command and
control warfare a viable warrior’s tool.

Grand Strategy for Information
Age National Security: Information
Assurance for the Twenty-first
Century

Kevin J. Kennedy, Bruce M. Lawlor,
and Arne J. Nelson

The authors define grand strategy as the art
and science of developing and using the politi-
cal and economic powers of a nation, together
with its armed forces, during peace and war, to
further national interests, priorities, and poli-
cies. Military strategy is a subset of grand strat-
egy. The authors believe that a reexamination of
grand strategy is essential in the Information
Age because future enemies are likely to avoid
attacking US defense forces directly. Instead
they will focus on undermining US national will
to fight by exploiting its reliance on information
systems, present to technological vulnerability
and democratic methods of governing. The
authors offer specific recommendations for cop-
ing with Information Age threats to our national
security.

The Air Force Role in Developing
International Outer Space Law

Delbert R. Terrill Jr.

Colonel Terrill provides an in-depth examination of the historical
evolution of Air Force thinking and action on the development of
international law as it applies to outer space. He traces the Air
Force’s continual resistance to treaties and other conventions that
would have defined the demarcation of the “boundary” between
airspace and outer space. He shows that the Air Force position
was grounded in the unwillingness to define outer space narrowly
before the military had thoroughly researched and tested techno-
logical capabilities that could be employed in space. Terrill con-
cludes by raising concerns about current issues that come into
play on efforts to refine international law as it relates to outer
space. These issues include technological advances and possible
future international cooperation in space ventures.

Setup: What the Air Force Did
in Vietnam and Why

Earl H. Tilford Jr.

American military professionals, especially the US Air Force, have
had a difficult time understanding their role in this nation’s defeat
in Vietnam. Dr. Tilford provides a critical self-analysis and ques-
tions the underlying assumptions of the Air Force’s strategy in
Southeast Asia. He argues that we must understand what went
wrong in Vietnam and why and not manipulate the record and
paint failure as victory. He explains what led to the “setup,” which
not only resulted in a failure for airpower but also contributed to
the fall of South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia to Communist
forces in 1975.

Dead on Arrival? The Development
of the Aerospace Concept,
1944-58

Stephen M. Rothstein

Major Rothstein chronologically traces the his-
torical development of the aerospace concept,
from its initial inception in 1944 as it was
embodied in the far-reaching vision of Gen
Henry H. “Hap” Arnold, until its public appear-
ance in 1958. He uncovers reasons why airmen
came to see their primary area of responsibility
differently than the rest of the nation and why
their aerospace concept failed to win bureau-
cratic support. By tracing the aerospace con-
cept’s technological and intellectual develop-
ment against a contextual backdrop of
geopolitics, national security strategy, national
space policy, interservice competition, and
internal tensions within the Air Force, Major
Rothstein offers historical lessons learned for
today’s planners seeking to move the Air Force
toward an aerospace force.

Falcons against the Jihad:
Israeli Airpower and Coercive
Diplomacy in Southern Lebanon

Kenneth C. Schow dr.

Colonel Schow discusses coercive diplomacy
to deal with regional conflicts and the chal-
lenges they present. He submits that plan-
ners will have to look to the experiences of
other air forces to help develop our own coer-
cive strategies and that the Israeli Air Force
(IAF) is an ideal candidate for this type of
evaluation. This study covers the experiences
of the IAF in Lebanon between January 1983
and June 1985.

A Framework for Military
Decision Making under Risks

James V. Schultz

Colonel Schultz assesses the application of
prospect theory to military decision making.
He compares and contrasts prospect theory
with the expected utility theory and Allison’s
rational actor, organizational process, and
political decision-making models. The author
uses Eisenhower's decision to execute
Operation Market Garden as a case study to
apply the risk propensity framework. Colonel
Schultz warns that prospect theory does not
predict the choice decision makers will make
but should reveal their tendencies to follow
risk seeking or risk averse courses of action.

Vital Interests, Virtual Threats:
Reconciling International Law with
Information Warfare and United

Karl J. Shawhan

Major Shawhan examines the history of tech-
nology and sovereignty and the advantages
and disadvantages of the International
Regime for Information Security (IRIS) model,
which mirrors the sanctuary of a weapons-
free outer space without limiting weapons
proliferation. He discusses how the use of
computer networks threatens the traditional
understanding of national sovereignty. He
examines how far advances in technology
have outpaced the intent of the Charter of the
United Nations regarding aggression and
armed force. Major Shawhan proposes rea-
sonable policy steps necessary to support
national security in an information age and
recommends the use of the IRIS model for a
future international convention on informa-
tion warfare.

The Counterair Companion:
A Short Guide to Air Superiority
for Joint Force Commanders

James M. Holmes

Air Supremacy has provided our surface, sea,
and air forces the freedom to operate without
fear of significant enemy surveillance or inter-
ference. With air supremacy, nothing is impos-
sible. Major Holmes analyzes service and joint
counterair doctrine, examines the counterair
strategy process, discusses counterair force
options, describes current interservice issues
and uses service visions of war to show why
counterair forces will continue to play a critical
role in American joint operations. Integrating
services will require a common counterair doc-
trine, a timely modernization plan that stresses
service capability and joint compatibility, and
continuous joint training. The success of this
integration process will also depend on how well
joint force commanders understand and direct
the counterair process.

Coalition Warfare:
Considerations for the Air
Component Commander

Peter C. Hunt

This thesis examines the integration of coali-
tion forces during several major conflicts of the
twentieth century: the Korean War (1950-53),
the Persian Gulf War (1990-91), and the
Balkan Air Campaign (1992-95). It reveals the
fundamental question, How are air component
commanders being trained to respond to
nuances of coalition warfare? The current US
programs to train joint force air component
commanders and operational-level staffs show
promising trends for improving our ability to
operate within a coalition. This thesis brings to
light several coalition considerations through

the analysis of the three conflicts and offers
valuable insight for future strategists.

Sustained Coercive Air Presence
(SCAP): Provide Comfort, Deny
Flight, and the Future of Airpower
in Peace Enforcement

George D. Kramlinger

Major Kramlinger examines the theoretical, his-
torical, operational, and technological aspects of
Sustained Coercive Air Presence (SCAP) and
illustrates how air operations over Iraq and
Bosnia demonstrated the problems associated
with a long-term air presence and suggest the
need for doctrine that adapts combat airpower
to the SCAP mission. He focuses on the deter-
mination of the mechanisms, strengths, and
limitations of how combat airpower can per-
suade determined belligerents to stop fighting
and then maintain a secure environment to
facilitate the continuing diplomatic process.

From Theater Missile Defense to
Antimissile Offensive Actions:

A Near-term Strategic Approach
for the USAF

Merrick E. Krause

Major Krause’s basic question: What strategic
approach should the United States Air Force
take toward theater missile defense (TMD) and
antimissile offensive actions in the near term?
He addresses current and planned key TMD
systems by answering another question, Is there
a current threat and what is it? His method-
ological approach involves historical and litera-
ture reviews, interviews, and a qualitative com-
parison of current and proposed weapons
systems capabilities and doctrine. He explores
key events and policies between Operation
Crossbow and today. Major Krause recommends
that USAF near-term attack operations and bat-
tle management command, control, communi-
cations, computers, and intelligence integration
should be considered as part of a greater air and

Thunder and Lightning: Desert Storm
and the Airpower Debates

Edward C. Mann III

Colonel Mann undertakes a critical analysis of air and space war-
fare as planned and waged in Operation Desert Storm. He
explores debates about airpower and its uses as they played
themselves out before, during, and after the successes of the Gulf
War. He compares the debates of the 1970s-1990s with those of
the 1920s-1940s. Colonel Mann explores the underpinnings of
successful warfare and observes that the warriors of the future
must have a strong knowledge of principles and concepts of war
to apply information, training, and technological resources with
acumen needed to win future victories. Thunder and Lightning is
a companion volume to Reynolds's Heart of the Storm.

Air Power’s Gordian Knot:
Centralized versus Organic Control

Stephen J. McNamara

Colonel McNamara explores whether airpower should be con-
trolled by a joint force air component commander (JFACC) or
whether that control should be split among the various military
services. He traces the evolution of indivisible airpower in World
War II, creation of the first JFACC during the Korean War. the
breakdown of centralized control in Vietnam, and the resurgence
of JFACC during the Gulf War. Colonel McNamara provides
insights into a problem that has no simple solution.

The Vital Link: The Tanker's Role
in Winning America’s Wars
David M. Cohen

This paper focuses on the unique and vital capa-
bilities of the US Air Force’s KC-135 tanker fleet.
It analyzes historic and current tanker usage,
tanker operational employment, and the capa-
bility of today’s tanker fleet, with emphasis on
force structure and force management. In light
of decreasing budget, aging airframes, increased
downtime for maintenance, and an explosion in
the operations tempo, this paper proposes a
four-pronged methodology addressing tanker
vision, organization, training, and employment,
as the correction needed to get the KC-135
weapon system back on centerline. This will
allow the tanker to effectively aid the Air Force in
successfully deterring conflict and if needed,
quickly win the nation’s future wars.

Endgame in the Pacific: Complexity,
Strategy, and the B-29

G. Scott Gorman

Maj Gorman examines the problems encoun-
tered by XX and XXI Bomber Commands in
employing the B-29 against Japan, initially from
India and China, later from the Marianas. The
technologically advanced bomber was expected
to be the technological solution to attacking
Japan across long distances. XX and XXI com-
mands, however, found that employing the big
bomber was not as simple as planners had
hoped. Their problems included technological
malfunctions, doctrinal shortcomings, and
unintended consequences.

vt Air Mobility: The Key to

*, Security Strategy

Richard J. Hazdra

Major Hazdra examines the current force
structure of Air Mobility Command (AMC)

33

based on a model for two major theater wars.
AMC's force structure is crucial for the United
States to implement its national security strat-
egy. Major Hazdra’s study centers on the ques-
tion: Can a force structure based on the possi-
bility of fighting two major theater wars satisfy
the requirements for steady-state operations?
He examines three corollary issues: air mobil-
ity as a form of airpower that enables the mil-
itary instrument of power in two basic ways,
requirements placed on mobility air forces,
and the structure of mobility air forces and the
effectiveness of that structure. Major Hazdra
recommends the Air Force should allocate
resources to create a force structure for AMC
that can achieve national objectives.

Military Resistance to
Humanitarian War in Kosovo and
Beyond: An Ideological Explanation

Kenneth R. Rizer

Major Rizer explains why the Pentagon
opposed war in Kosovo and why it will likely
oppose future such humanitarian wars. He
further explains how the joint chief's resis-
tance to intervening militarily in Kosovo was
based on the US military’s worldview. This
paper shows that the US military holds an
institutional philosophy of conservative real-
ism. Major Rizer concludes that this military
philosophy is unlikely to change in the short
term, that it will continue to strain relations
with liberal administrations, and that it ulti-
mately helps prevent cavalier uses of American
military power.

Fighting Proliferation:
New Concerns for the Nineties

Henry Sokolski, editor

This publication examines such issues as devising effective strat-
egy against the proliferation of nuclear weapons, coping with the
spread of space technology, and curbing Iran’s and North Korea’s
strategic programs. Seventeen contributors address these chal-
lenges and their implications for US policy in the book's five divi-
sions: part 1 explores how best to reform existing nonproliferation
efforts; part 2 considers new high-leverage systems likely to
threaten the US in the near future; parts 3 and 4 focus on two new
truculent proliferators—North Korea and Iran; and part 5 dis-
cusses the need to develop a long-term diplomatic, political, eco-
nomic, and military strategy against proliferation. Fighting
Proliferation places itself in the mainstream of opposition to prolif-
eration and the search for practical, policy-relevant approaches to
dealing with it.

Force and Accommodation in World Politics
Stanley E. Spangler

Dr. Spangler shows that conciliatory approaches or accommoda-
tive measures have frequently been avoided by the United States
in its foreign relations and, if used, have too often been underval-
ued in comparison to military force. He develops a model or con-
ceptual approach to foreign policy that he calls “positive diplo-
macy,” which is to him a preferable method of integrating force
and diplomacy in this very complicated and increasingly danger-
ous world.

Paradigm Lost: Rethinking
Theater Airlift to Support
the Army After Next

David W. Allvin

Colonel Allvin analyzes the theater airlift
implications for the United States Army’s
vision, Army After Next (AAN)—now called the
Army Vision: The Transformation of the Army,
which is a continuum of the AAN—for land
warfare in the twenty-first century. He identi-
fies theater airlift capabilities critical to the
AAN concept and examines emerging systems
that seem likely to furnish those capabilities.
He argues that improvements in cargo-han-
dling, situational awareness, and defensive
systems—as well as the ability to operate in
austere conditions—constitute the most cru-
cial future requirements for theater airlift.
Colonel Allvin concludes that the most promis-
ing emerging systems for achieving required
theater airlift capabilities include the tilt-wing
concept, autonomous cargo-handling systems,
and a standoff capability for examining the
suitability of opportune landing sites.

Airpower against an Army:
Challenge and Response in
CENTAF’s Duel with the
Republican Guard

William F. Andrews

Colonel Andrews concentrates on tactical
innovation during war. He examines the extent
to which USAF doctrine prepared the US
Central Command Air Forces (CENTAF) for its
mission against the Republican Guard Forces
Command (RGFC). He describes how CENTAF
adjusted air operations against Iraq's RGFC in
the 1990-91 invasion of Kuwait. CENTAF
instituted six significant tactical innovations
in one week that required its aviators to create
new tactics in the midst of combat operations.
Colonel Andrews evaluates those innovations
because they enabled CENTAF to satisfy the-
ater objectives. He recommends that the Air

29

Force identify means to measure air opera-
tions against land forces during peacetime
because the press of war does not provide time
for reflection and analysis. (This book is on the
Chief of Staff Reading List.)

Once in a Blue Moon: Airmen in
Theater Command—Lauris
Norstad, Albrecht Kesselring, and
Their Relevance to the Twenty-
First Century Air Force

Howard D. Belote

Colonel Belote concentrates on the question:
What are the qualities necessary for airmen to
perform effectively as war-fighting command-
ers in chief (CINC)? He identifies those neces-
sary qualities of knowledge, insight, and skill
through three methods. He reviews theoretical
and historical literature on command. He uses
the careers of two early theater CINCs—
Generals Dwight D. Eisenhower and Jacob L.
Devers—to establish a baseline for analysis.
Colonel Belote offers two detailed biographical
case studies on Gen Lauris Norstad and Field
Marshal Albrecht Kesselring. He complements
his historical inquiry with findings based on
interviews with senior Department of Defense
officials coupled to an analysis of the recent
literature on joint command. Colonel Belote
proposes a creation of a new and intentionally
broad-gauged “joint warfighter” career track.

DTS balance than the current process and
addresses several of the major implications of
this policy change.

Kurt A. Cichowski

Colonel Cichowski analyzes the new Air Force
Manual 1-1, Basic Aerospace Doctrine of the
United States Air Force. He traces the heritage
of aerospace power and examines the history
and theory behind the evolution of Air Force
doctrine. He discusses aerospace doctrine as
defined in AFM 1-1 (March 1992) in light of
the experience of Operation Desert Storm.
Colonel Cichowski concludes that while it is
weak on some points, the new version pro-
vides a sound doctrinal basis for the develop-
ment of joint aerospace doctrine.

Keeping the Peace: Regional
Organizations and Peacekeeping

John S. Clark Jr.

Major Clark examines two peacekeeping oper-
ations: the Organization American States
(OAS) intervention in the Dominican Republic
in 1965, including its involvement in the
Central American peace process in the late
1980s and the Economic Community of West
African States (ECOWAS) intervention in
Liberia in 1990 to the present. He states that
the OAS participation in the Central American
peace process, in conjunction with the United
Nations (UN), demonstrates what can be
accomplished when the conditions for peace
are facilitated by peacekeepers. Major Clark

indicates that perhaps the single-minded
focus on the UN as the vehicle for peaceful
resolution of conflict may have caused the
international community to overlook the
potential of regional organizations. He sub-
mits that regionals are not the right vehicle
for peacekeeping in every situation. But Major
Clark recommends that DOD and other US
agencies should support and encourage
regional organizations to bear more of the
peacekeeping burden, either independently or
as a partner with the UN.

Higher Eyes in the Sky: The
Feasibility of Moving AWACS and
JSTARS Functions into Space

Kimberly M. Corcoran

Major Corcoran reviews the development of and
operational need for airborne early warning sys-
tems. In her study she provides a brief overview
of space operations but focuses on the technical
challenges of migrating surveillance functions
into space. Major Corcoran argues that a basic
understanding of space vehicles and their oper-
ations is a prerequisite to understanding how
the migration of AWACS and JSTARS functions
to space could occur. Attention is given to the
organizations involved in the nation’s space pro-
gram and how each may affect the development
of a space-based surveillance system. Major
Corcoran examines issues that will need to be
resolved as we migrate from airborne surveil-
lance functions into space.

A Matter of Trust: Close Air
Support Apportionment and
Allocation for Operational
Level Effects

Peter A. Costello III

Major Costello reviews the history of close air
support (CAS) since World War II to show how it
has been apportioned and allocated in the past.
He examines the current joint air operations
process and two theories of the use of CAS at the
operational level. He observes that the current
system, rooted in its historical past, does not

Air Power and Maneuver Warfare

Martin van Creveld, Kenneth S. Brower,
and Steven L. Canby

The authors identify and discuss the fundamental concepts and
principles of maneuver warfare, compare and contrast it to attrition-
style warfare, and traces its origins and history. They examine the
role of airpower in enhancing maneuver during the early German
campaigns of World War II, in Germany's 1941 Russian campaigns,
and in the Soviet version of maneuver warfare in World War II. They
analyze the importance of airpower in the maneuver warfare
employed by Israel in the 1967 and 1973 wars and by the Coalition
forces in the Gulf War. Dr. van Creveld forecasts what the role of air-
power will be in warfare during the coming years. The book includes
a response to the authors by air doctrine analysts at Air University.

Organizational Structure for Air National
Guard Tactical Aircraft Maintenance

Rudolph Ventresca

Colonel Ventresca analyzes and assesses the changes in the orga-
nizational structure of the active Air Force and the Air National
Guard (ANG) fighter maintenance units from the time the ANG
became a separate reserve component in 1946 to the present-day
organization, which parallels the active Air Force. He provides
insight into the ANG tactical air forces maintenance organization
by chronicling the past, viewing the present, and projecting the
reader into the future, taking into account those things that will
likely affect the way ANG tactical aircraft maintenance is orga-
nized and will operate in the future.

Sharing Success—Owning Failure:
Preparing to Command in the

David L. Goldfein

In Sharing Success—Owning Failure, Colonel Goldfein discusses sev-
eral themes central to a successful command tour. He expresses
ideas and puts forth questions to spark your imagination as you
begin preparing for the task ahead of you—squadron commander.
He shares stories from other squadron commanders that include
both success and failure. Because, as Colonel Goldfein states, “it is
from studying our failures that we learn, grow, and improve as offi-
cers and leaders.” In the Foreword, Maj Gen Charles D. Link, USAF,
Retired, says “this book is a must-read, not only for those selected to
command a squadron but for all our young officers.”

Psychological Operations:
Principles and Case Studies

Frank L. Goldstein and Benjamin F. Findley Jr.

This volume comprises 25 independent essays on military psy-
chological operations. These essays are arranged in four sections:
(1) Nature and Scope; (2) Policy and Planning; (3) Strategy,

Global Security Concerns:
Anticipating the Twenty-First Century

Karl P. Magyar

Dr. Magyar has assembled a group of experts on military issues to
ponder global security concerns for the twenty-first century. The
writers of this study use the lessons of the past to identify what
issues will propel states to rely on violent means instead of peace-
ful procedures to achieve their objectives. This work also offers a
background on each topic, identifies areas where conflicts likely
will occur, and measures the possibility of peaceful resolution of
issues.

Prolonged Wars: A Post-Nuclear Challenge
Karl P. Magyar et al.

The authors examine the underlying impact of the cold war on
protracted conflict in Africa and Asia. These area specialists exam-
ine the factors that produced prolonged conflict and what each
side in them considered the cause(s) of these struggles. They ana-
lyze the reasons for “success” and “failure” in each of these
regional conflicts.

The Development of the B-52 and Jet Propulsion:
A Case Study in Organizational Innovation

Mark D. Mandeles

National security decision makers face an uncertain world where the
accelerated growth of knowledge has changed the character of tech-
nological: advance and destabilized long-standing relations within
and among the military services. This book separates the principles
that guide decision making from the proverbs through a case study
of decision making in the early post-World War II period. This study
examines the impact of organization on the invention and develop-
ment of jet propulsion—in the form of the B-52—and illustrates both
the organizational conditions conducive to developing new opera-
tional concepts and the organizational innovations necessary to
implement new technology. This study also examines how the Air
Force organized to learn and acquire new technology, how the Air
Force conceived or identified problems, and how it organized to
ensure management would respond to program failure or errors.
