Berg, USAF, Chief, Professional Journals Features Seeing the Whole Elephant I 4 2 Envisioning a Successful Light Attack Program for the US Air Force Lt Col Michael W. Pietrucha, USAF Writing from the perspective of an Airman in the year 2018, the author illustrates how the successful development of the OA-X, a notional light attack aircraft, mitigated today's capability gap in using air- power against counterinsurgency He describes how the OA-X restored a healthy balance between high- tech and medium-tech aircraft in the US inventoiy and played a pivotal global role in building partner- ship capacity with other nations Femme Fatale 2010 i 59 Lt Col Kristal L. Alfonso, USAF In an effort to explore whether current US laws and policies excluding women from combat remain valid or need to be amended, this article reviews three case studies that demonstrate the variety of ways women have participated in modem armed conflict It includes proposals foi encouiaging the military and society to move forward with regard to debate over the role of women in combat Civilian Language Education in America I 74 How the Air Force and Academia Can Thrive Together Col John Conway, USAF, Retired Recent Quadrennial Defense Reviews suggest that language planners focus on preaccession lan- guage education instead of teaching foreign languages to recruits and second-termers. Conse- quently, the author examines efforts to expand preaccession language training, which continue to he hamstrung by lack of both direction and understanding of what this nation’s language edu cation system can provide.
