Joint Forcible Entry in a Non Permissive Environment: Applying Operations HUSKY and OVERLORD to Airborne Operations in 2035
Abstract
To credibly retain airborne forcible entry as an employment option in non-permissive environments, the US military must apply the valuable lessons learned in Operations HUSKY and OVERLORD concerning planning for and commanding airborne forces, setting conditions for a joint forcible entry operation (JFEO), and overcoming friction. Although current service and joint doctrine reflect elements of these historical lessons, the joint force must strive to find innovative solutions to overcome the challenge of mitigating the vulnerability to modern A2AD systems by prioritizing realistic, combined training and further developing joint Army and Air Force airborne doctrine.
