Zaire Air Force: Future Missions

Abstract

The threat of destabilization always faces the young nations, and guerrilla warfare is one of the techniques used by subversive powers to attain their goal via proxies. To be prepared to cope with guerrilla warfare is a must for many African nations. This is certainly true for Zaire. Efforts to upgrade its military capabilities are often undermined not only by scarcity of resources but by the challenging enterprise of building a nation from disparate people as well. Suggestions to end the problems encountered in close air support and rebels entrenched in the mountains near Kalemie are proposed.
