Supporting Expeditionary Aerospace Forces. An Integrated Strategic Agile Combat Support Planning Framework

Abstract

This report addresses support of emerging Air Force employment strategies associated with Expeditionary Aerospace Forces (EAFs). Although much work remains to define these new responsibilities and prepare Air Force units to meet them, it is clear that the EAF concepts will play a central role in the future Air Force. FAF concepts turn on the premise that rapidly tailorable, quickly deployable, immediately employable, and highly effective air and space force packages can serve as a viable substitute for permanent forward presence in both the strategic and the tactical arenas. Success of the EAF will, to a great extent, depend on the effectiveness and efficiency of the Agile Combat Support (ACS) system.
