Airpower Contributions to Irregular Warfare

Abstract

This study will address the gaps, seams, and mismatches in current airpower capabilities, which if addressed, will enhance the Department of Defense's ability to conduct IW now and in the future. Beginning with the National Strategy, it will address current strategy and doctrine, down to the Air Force level, as it applies to IW and associated requisite capabilities. It will analyze these capabilities and make recommendations to ensure the Air Force's relevance in the future as it supports IW.
