    The Rage Page Volume X Issue VI The Official Newsletter of the Maize Rage 13 December 2008 "The crowd was fantastic….This was a team effort by Michigan with their coaching staff, their players and their fans. They combined to have a great afternoon." … Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski After Michigan’s 81-73 victory over #4 Duke one week ago, the praise for the crowd came from both head coaches, players from both schools, and the media. That atmosphere was, by all accounts, electric. But why should it be a one-time occurrence? Said Krzyzewski: “It’s party time every time [Duke comes] to town, but [Michigan] is a great school and they deserve this level of support for every game.” For once, Coach K is right. Eastern Michigan may be 2-6. They may not have beaten a D-I opponent yet this year. They may be 2-19 against Michigan. But that’s no excuse not to bring it just like we did for the Blue Devils. The next few games on the schedule may seem like we can take them for granted, but for a team and a crowd that had a front row view for the Savannah State game, overlooking any team is inexcusable. EMU may not be on the level of Duke, but it’s our job to make sure that the atmosphere is indistinguishable. Here is the projected starting lineup for the Eastern Michigan Eagles (2-6, 0-0 MAC): 12 L.J.

  • Theater Airlift Lessons from Kosovo
    Theater Airlift Lessons from Kosovo by Lt Col Rowayne A. Schatz, USAF This basic doctrine presents the guiding principles of our Service and our view of the opportunities of the future… As airmen, we must understand these ideas, we must cultivate them and, importantly, we must debate and refine these ideas for the future.1 General Michael E. Ryan Chief of Staff, USAF Operation Allied Force, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) military operation to compel Serbia to cease hostilities against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo and allow a peacekeeping presence on the ground, was the first major war in history fought exclusively with air power. NATO air forces flew over 38,000 sorties from 24 March through 9 June 1999 to allow NATO to achieve its political objectives in Kosovo.2 Although you may not have heard or read much about them, air mobility forces were key to the success of the air war over Serbia. The air mobility team moved enough airmen and equipment to increase the number of air expeditionary wings in Europe from three to ten, provided aid directly to thousands of Kosovar refugees, and deployed a large US Army contingent to Albania—all at the same time. In the words of Colonel Scott Gray, the USAFE Assistant Director of Operations during Operation Allied Force, "This was a phenomenal success, enabling the forces which forced Milosevic to back down while sustaining the refugees he created until they were able to go home.3 According to AFDD1, "Air and space doctrine is an accumulation of knowledge gained primarily from the study and analysis of experience, which may include actual combat or contingency operations as well as equipment tests or exercises."4 I am a firm believer that doctrine is key to warfighting.
