Organization and Employment of Aerospace Power Air Force Doctrine Document 2.

Abstract

This document has been prepared under the direction of the Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF). It establishes doctrinal guidance for organizing and employing aerospace forces at the operational level of conflict across the full range of military operations. It is the capstone of US Air Force operational level doctrine publications. Together, these publications collectively form the basis from which air commanders plan and execute their assigned aerospace missions and their actions as a component of a joint Service or multinational force. This Air Force Doctrine Document (AFDD) applies to all active duty, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, and civilian Air Force personnel. The doctrine in this document is authoritative but not directive. Therefore, commanders need to consider not only the contents of this AFDD, but also the particular situation when accomplishing their missions. SCOPE Air Force assets (people, weapons, and support systems) can be used across the range of military operations at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels of war. This AFDD discusses the fundamentals of organization and employment of Air Force air, space, and information capabilities to accomplish the missions assigned by commanders in chief (CINCs). More speciflc guidance on Air Force operations may be found in subordinate operational and tactical level doctrine documents.
