Definition of a Process for Determining an Appropriate Force Structure for the Air Element of the Australian Defence Force

Abstract

This paper defines a process for determining appropriate force structure for the air component of the Australian Defence Force. The strategic environment is used to illustrate the factors circumscribing policy formulation. An analysis of current doctrine and the defence policy environment follows, providing insight into the process of doctrinal development, and continues with a description of the current process and an assessment of the utility of current guidance and processes. A theoretical model of hierarchically-linked relationships between overarching defence objectives and subordinate components is proposed as an illustrative force structure process. Australian Air Force.
