Counterair Operations Air Force Doctrine Document 2-1.1

Abstract

Air Force Doctrine Document (AFDD) 2-1.1 provides Air Force doctrine for counter air operations and supports basic air and space doctrine. It replaces AFDD 2-1.1, dated 6 May 1998. This AFDD applies to all active duty Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, and civilian Air Force personnel. This doctrine is authoritative but not directive; commanders are encouraged to exercise judgment in applying this doctrine to accomplish their missions. The mission of the United States Air Force is to defend the United States by gaining and exploiting air and space superiority. Air and space superiority provides the freedom in to operate in the air, space, and information medium. Unless we can freely maneuver in each of these environments while denying the enemy the same, we do not have air and space superiority.
