Strategic Air Mobility: Meeting the Demands of the 21st Century

Abstract

This project examines the current Strategic Air Mobility policy and the associated strategic deployment challenges to that policy. The current policy analysis is provided to determine if it is the answer to the problems and issues facing our strategic mobility forces (specifically those provided by the United States Air Force's Air Mobility Command). A background of strategic lift is provided to set the stage for our current policy as well as what our future policy ought to be or the direction our policy should be heading. Finally, the project identifies and examines the significant challenges for the future and how our current strategic air mobility decisions are affecting our ability to meet those challenges.
