Blunting the Talons. The Impact of Peace Operations Deployments on USAF Fighter Crew Combat Skills
Abstract
This larger project is designed to provide an analytic structure and support to the Air Force in developing its own, improved system for reporting and managing readiness information for near term readiness assessment. One of its goals is to provide a structure and implement a system that can use the best available information and models to provide readiness assessments for internal Air Force use and for external reporting on the status of the Air Force. Continuing complex operational requirements and tight budgets demand improved readiness assessment and management. Because air power is so effective and flexible, because it can be used quickly and at great distances, and because these attributes are so important to U.S. national interests, the Air Force should stand out in its ability to assess its readiness quickly and accurately. This report investigates how a particular type of contingency requirement, peace operations deployments, impacts the air to ground and air to air combat skills of USAF fighter crews.
