Defending Airfields to Support Agile Combat Employment: Organizing and Training for the High-End Fight

Abstract

To meet emerging capabilities required to defend dispersed air bases under the Air Force's Agile Combat Employment (ACE) operating concept, Security Forces should invest in signature management, electronic warfare, and Counter-small UAS (C-sUAS) by organizing and training two new Air Force Specialty Code shreds: a Signals Specialist and a sUAS Specialist. Additionally, designating ACE Defense Teams (ADETs) that train, certify, and deploy as one cohesive unit will better meet the projected needs of a Geographic Combatant Commander engaged in high-end combat.
