Applying Lessons Learned from Interwar Airpower (1919-1939) to Joint Warfighting with Cyberpower

Abstract

The United States has yet to use cyberwarfare in a major conflict, and the military services have differing ideas on what role cyberwarfare will play in America's next war. The US military faced a similar problem after World War I when attempting to understand and exploit the nascent capabilities of airpower, which showed great potential but exited the Great War with an inconclusive service record. The differing approaches of the United States Army and the United States Navy toward airpower evolution during the Interwar Period yield several lessons in the areas of doctrinal, personnel, and technological development that are applicable to the future employment of Joint cyberpower in the post-Afghanistan War era.
