Airpower      against an Army: Challenge and Response in CENTAF's Duel with the Republican GuardWilliam 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 theater objectives. He      recommends that the Air Force identify means to measure air operations against land forces      during peacetime because the press of war does not provide time for reflection and      analysis.
