Combat Support Doctrine

Abstract

This manual establishes doctrine for the combat support of aerospace forces and represents the official views of the United States Air Force. It applies equally to activate military, reserve components, and civilians. Doctrine is derived from the study of war. It offers guidance to be used by Air Force leaders to: (1) learn from the past, (2) act in the present, and (3) influence the future. The doctrine in this manual is the foundation for all Air Force policies to organize, train, equip, and sustain aerospace forces for war. It describes the nature of combat support and its relationship to aerospace power. This manual also expands on the principles contained in Air Force Manual 1-1 and relates them to the support of combat operations. (RWJ)
