J-Sead for the Second MTW

Abstract

The JFC assigned to fight and win a second MTW will be faced with a monumental task. He must neutralize the enemy's sophisticated integrated air defenses, keep casualties and collateral damage to a minimum, and do it with limited resources, specifically overcoming an acute shortage of dedicated SEAD assets. To meet this challenge, the JFC and his staff must fully employ J-SEAD doctrine and apply all available joint forces to achieve his objectives. This paper addresses a wide variety of options for J-SEAD which would be available to second MTW commanders, including increased reliance on traditional SEAD assets, non-traditional SEAD assets supplied by,joint and/or coalition forces, and even perhaps new war-fighting methods like 10 or UAVs. However, the commanders must be aware of the risks and costs associated with these alternatives, and as always, carefully weigh them relative to the overall operational/strategic objectives.
