Adequacy of Army Airspace Command and Control on the Airland Battlefield
Abstract
The doctrine addressing Army Airspace Command and Control has been gradually revised since the introduction of AirLand Battle Doctrine in the early 1980's. The most significant revisions to airspace command and control have occurred within the last two years. Development of some portions of the doctrine within the Army is still ongoing. The same is true of the other services as well as that of joint doctrine. New equipment that will enhance the process is still being fielded and organizational change is a constant process. This study seeks to examine the evolving system of Army Airspace Command and Control. Five general areas or pillars that form the basis of the system are: personnel, training, doctrine, equipment, and leadership. Strengths and weaknesses will be examined in each area. The study seeks to determine where change is needed to comply with the principles set forth in joint doctrine. Problem areas are highlighted and recommendations to improve the program are provided.
