Vector Check: Prospects for U.S. and Pakistan Air Power Engagement

Abstract

This report is based on research conducted in the project "U.S. Air Force-Pakistan Air Force Partnering Post-Operation Enduring Freedom," sponsored by the office of the Secretary of the Air Force/International Affairs. The purpose of this project is to better define the long-term relationship between the U.S. Air Force (USAF) and the Pakistan Air Force as the drawdown from Afghanistan continues and eventually concludes; it aims to help USAF shape its engagement with its Pakistan counterpart by better understanding Pakistan's security requirements and to examine future trends to plan for a range of potential scenarios. This report aims for broad dissemination of the project's findings throughout USAF and the wider U.S. security policymaking community.
