Air Force Doctrine Publication 1: The Air Force
Abstract
Air Force doctrine is the extant and emerging best practices in the application of airpower. Doctrine describes the operations and activities that create convergence of effects across the competition continuum. Doctrine is organized as basic, operational, and tactical level doctrine. Basic doctrine states the most fundamental and enduring beliefs describing airpower and the Airman's perspective. Operational doctrine describes more detailed organization of forces and applies the principles of basic doctrine to military actions. Tactical doctrine is contained in Air Force and Multi-Service Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures publications. Blue underlined text denotes a hyperlink to another source document, normally Air Force or joint operational doctrine, for additional discussion. Air Force Doctrine Publication (AFDP) 1, The Air Force, forms the basis of our Service culture. It defines airpower, as the ability to project military power through control and exploitation in, from and through the air. Airpower is employed to achieve joint force commander (JFC) objectives in support of the National Defense Strategy (NDS).
