Doctrine for Strategic Aerospace Offensive Operations

Abstract

This study evaluates the need for operational doctrine for the strategic aerospace offensive mission. It shows the advantages of having this doctrine and the problems during the Korean and Vietnam Wars caused by not having appropriate doctrine. The study also shows recent attempts to write strategic operational doctrine are inadequate and create confusion about the nature of this mission. The study concludes this doctrine is needed and provides a proposed draft for an operational doctrine manual covering this mission.
