Abstract

This monograph discusses the role of the U.S.A.F. F-15E 'Strike Eagle' in providing air support for the Army AirLand Battle-Future concept. This advanced and highly capable aircraft has achieved operational capability with two tactical fighter squadrons and will be a major source of air support in any future conflict. The U.S. Air Force has supported the Army AirLand Battle (ALB) doctrine since its inception in 1982. A revision to this doctrine. Tentatively called AirLand Battle-Future (ALB-F) is a concept that will require close integration with TacAir assets The F-15E can provide precision long range fires to support Army combat units using ALB-F concept. This monograph looks at five major areas: first, air power theory and doctrine: second, the ALB-F concept: third, the F-15E 'Strike Eagle' capabilities; fourth a comparison of current TacAir fighter aircraft with the F-15E; fifth. a discussion of the best uses of the F-15E under the ALB--F concept.
