Berg, USAF, Chief, Professional Journals Features Global Power Requires a Global, Persistent Air-to-Air Capability : 47 Lt Col Bruce D. Cox, USAF If the A ir Force wants trite air superiority, it must emphasize the projection of air-to-air airpower at intercontinental distances The author analyzes trade-offs among aircraft range and maneuverability, crew endurance, and the use of manned versus remotely piloted aircraft. Closing the Irregular Warfare Air Capability Gap I 57 The Missing Puzzle Piece: Rugged Utility Aircraft and Personnel Lt Col George H. Hock Jr., USAF In the midst of two counterinsurgencies, the Air Force has struggled to build irregular warfare (IW) and partner nation capability from scratch Using lessons learned from the 6th Special Operations Squad- ron, the author explores ways to improve JW-trained forces and the equipment needed to support devel- oping nations Air Component Campaign Planning I 6 9 Beyond Conflict and Kinetics Lt Col David Moeller, USAF Air Force doctrine emphasizes planning for kinetic operations but lacks a clear methodology for plan- ning a full spectrum of operations. Tb fill this ‘doctrinal gap,' the author advocates developing a com- prehensive focus on long-term state interaction across such a spectrum of operations, thereby meeting the objectives o f joint force commanders. Developing US European Command’s Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Strategy for Fiscal Years 2010 through 2015 I 81 Lt Col Kevin M. Coyne, USAF The military's policy of using most of its scarce intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms to support US Central Command's operations adversely affects ISR assistance to other com- batant commands. The author analyzes ISR operations in US European Command and proposes ways to offset future shortfalls through greater integration o f the ISR capabilities o f US allies. ___ _____ _______ Departments 22 !
