RAND Research Brief: A Strategic Planning Framework for EAF Support
Abstract
The Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) concept requires individual Air Expeditionary Task Forces to deploy quickly, employ immediately, adapt rapidly, and sustain scenario operations indefinitely. To launch operations quickly, combat units must minimize deployment support, whereas sustained operations require having assured resupply. Such challenges differ from those of the Cold War and call for a reexamination of the combat support system. Strategic Agile Combat Support (ACS) design, tradeoff, and investment decisions must be made to create the capabilities needed for future expeditionary operations.
