    Annual Report 2007 PROJECT AIR FORCE Annual Report 2007 PROJECT AIR FORCE About RAND Project AIR FORCE he mission of RAND Project AIR FORCE (PAF), a division of the RAND Corporation and the Air Force’s federally funded Tresearch and development center for studies and analysis, is to under- take an integrated program of objective, independent analysis on issues of enduring concern to Air Force leaders. PAF addresses far-reaching and interrelated questions: What will be the role of air and space power in the future security environment? How should the force be modernized to meet changing operational demands? What should be the size and char- acteristics of the workforce? How can that workforce be most effectively recruited, trained, and retained? How should sustainment, acquisition, and infrastructure be streamlined to control costs? PAF carries out its research agenda in four programs that represent core competencies: Strategy and Doctrine seeks to increase knowledge and understanding of geopolitical and other problems in the national security environment that affect Air Force operations. PAF maintains expertise in defense strategy; regional analysis; the objectives and tasks of evolving joint oper- ations; and the potential contributions of air and space power to joint operations, defense planning, and requirements for force development. Aerospace Force Development identifies and assesses ways in which technological advances and new operational concepts can improve the Air Force’s ability to satisfy a range of future operational demands. This research involves assessments of technology feasibility, performance, cost, and risk. PAF assesses major force components needed in the future and the systems and infrastructure supporting their operations.

  • Twentieth Air Force - from B-29S to Icbms a Proud Past…A Bright Future
    Twentieth Air Force - From B-29s To ICBMs A Proud Past…A Bright Future by Major General Tom Neary Commander, Twentieth Air Force THE TWENTIETH AIR FORCE LEGACY As I come to work each day, I pass a picture gallery of the former Commanders of Twentieth Air Force. From it, the faces of great leaders like Hap Arnold, Curtis LeMay, and Nathan Twining remind me of the rich heritage of this numbered air force. The great warfighting organization these magnificent Air Force pioneers organized and led during World War II lives on today as "America’s ICBM Team"--modern day professionals carrying on the legacy of air power excellence born in the South Pacific in 1944. We remain linked to the original Twentieth Air Force in many ways. Pictured are Lieutenant Fiske Hanley, WW II veteran, and Captain Keith McCartney, 341st Space Wing, Malmstrom AFB MT. They are past and present representatives of the thousands of courageous airmen who founded, formed and now carry on our superb legacy. Although separated by five decades of history, Hanley and McCartney understand full well how crucial their missions were, and now are to the security of America. They also share another important linkage in history. While Fiske Hanley’s Twentieth Air Force of 1945 employed nuclear weapons to stop a horrible world war, Captain Keith McCartney stands alert in today’s Capt Keith McCartney in command Twentieth Air Force committed to preventing war at a Minuteman III launch control through nuclear deterrence and professional stewardship console of America’s nuclear arsenal. With our legacy as a preface, I invite you to join me on a journey through Twentieth Air Force--from the South Pacific in 1944, to the ICBM fields of rural America today, and on to our bright future as a relevant and important part of America’s national security team.

VOL. 8, NO. 14 APRIL 6, 2006 Colorado Springs, Colo. www.schriever.af.mil Combat skills prepare Airmen for deployment Staff Sgt. Don Branum 50th Space Wing Public Affairs What difference does Expeditionary Combat Skills train- ing make for Airmen who are preparing to deploy? For one satellite systems operator with the 4th Space Operations Squadron here, the answer is: a big one. “I feel better prepared now than before,” Senior Airman Dale Harris said. “If your career field doesn’t deploy, you should get this kind of refresher training every couple of years.” Airman Harris was one of 100 Airmen who participated in a Wing Expeditionary Readiness Inspection here March 14 to 16. He will deploy with Aerospace Expeditionary Forces 3 and 4. The WERI was the first deployment training environment Airman Harris had experienced since Basic Military Training’s Warrior Week at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. The ECS training included convoy training, improvised explosive device awareness, individual tactical maneuvers, M-16 familiarization, rifle fighting and integrated base defense. “They made it realistic—like it would be out in the field, not like we were sitting in a tent all day,” he said. Airman Harris’ appraisal is not the only positive review the combat training has received. Several Airmen photo by Kim Kruis-Johnson approached Lt. Col.
