Air National Guard Fighters in Europe Readiness through Training and Mission

Abstract

ALthough the Air National Guard's problem of maintaining a high level of experience among its pilots is serious, it is not insurmountable. This report suggests that the ANG can improve this situation, (1) by having both inexperienced and supervisory-level pilots (e.g., flight commanders, training officers, weapons and tactics officers, etc.) perform extended tours of duty in Europe and (2) by establishing a permanent ANG unit there. These proposals can be implemented in such a way that they are both economical and consistent with the total force policy. Furthermore, they would increase the combat potential of ANG personnel by giving them substantial operational experience. (Author) (emk)
