Defending Air Bases in an Age of Insurgency Volume 3: Integrated Base Defense Principles for Commanders

Abstract

Likely readers of this book do not need to be told the United States has been in a continual state of conflict since 1990. It is sobering to think an entire generation of Airmen and their families entered the Air Force, served over two decades, and retired in this time frame after completing a steady stream of deployments in the skies over, or on the ground in, Iraq, Somalia, the Balkans, Afghanistan, and Syria. In addition to these deployments, the same Airmen also protected the homeland in the wake of the 9/11 attacks and responded to humanitarian crises in Africa, Asia, South America, and within our own borders. The promise of the post-Cold War peace dividend never materialized for the US military - and in particular our nation's Air Force.
