7. Distinctive Capabilities
Air & Space Superiority
– Freedom to attack and freedom from attack
Information Superiority
– Collect, control, exploit and defend information
Global Attack
– Anywhere on the globe at any time
Precision Engagement
– The “scalpel” of joint service ops
Rapid Global Mobility
– Timely movement, positioning, and sustainment
Agile Combat Support
– Highly responsive support for forces deployed forward
BOTTOM LINE: WE DO ALL THIS AND DENY THE ADVERSARY THE
ABILITY TO DO THE SAME TO US!

Counterspace Special Operations
Counterland Intelligence
Countersea Surveillance &
Information Operations Reconnaissance
Combat Support Combat SAR
Command & Control Navigation & Positioning
Airlift Weather Services
– Affect the X,Y, Z, T, and I
Dimensions simultaneously
11. STRATEGIC ATTACK
Intent is to achieve
objectives without first
necessarily engaging
enemy fielded forces
Targets are enemy
strategic centers of
gravity (COGs)
Effects may not be
realized immediately (like •It is the desired effects,
CAS) not the weapon, that
determines if a mission
is strategic attack
12. COUNTERAIR
(OCA) Seek out and
neutralize or destroy
enemy air forces, air
bases, and launch
facilities at a time and
place of our choosing
(DCA) To detect, identify,
intercept, and destroy
enemy airborne assets
attempting to attack
friendly forces or
penetrating friendly
airspace
13. COUNTERSPACE
Involves those kinetic and nonkinetic
operations conducted to attain and
maintain a desired degree of space
superiority by the destruction,
degradation, or disruption of enemy
space capability
– OCS- deny, degrade, disrupt, destroy,
or deceive an adversary’s space
capability
– DCS- Operations preserve space
capabilities, withstand enemy attack,
restore/recover space capabilities after
an attack, and reconstitute space
forces
14. COUNTERLAND
Involves those operations conducted to attain a
desired degree of superiority for ground forces
CAS... air operations against AC-130H
hostile targets in close GUNSHIP
proximity to friendly forces
and require detailed
integration with the fire and
maneuver of those forces
Air interdiction ... operations A-10
conducted to divert, disrupt, Warthog
delay, or destroy enemy
surface military potential
before it can be used
15. COUNTERLAND
"Qusay Hussein ordered three Republican Guard divisions
to maneuver into position to oppose the U.S. advance to
"We're not softening them up; we're
Baghdad. But the divisions were essentially destroyed by
airstrikes when theykilling them.” miles south of
were still about 30
the capital. This affected the morale of the troops. The
Iraqi will to fight was broken outside Baghdad." JFACC
- Lt Gen Moseley,
- Iraqi General Staff Colonel Ghassan
16. COUNTERSEA
An extension of Air Force
capabilities into a maritime
environment
– Sea surveillance
– Antiship warfare
– Protection of sea LOCs
– Minelaying
– Air refueling naval assets
17. INFORMATION OPERATIONS
Actionstaken to influence, affect, or
defend information systems and/or
decision-making to create effects
across the battlespace.
– Influence Operations
– Electronic Warfare
– Network Warfare
18. COMBAT SUPPORT
The essential capabilities,
functions, activities, and
tasks necessary to create
and sustain air and space
forces.
19. COMMAND AND CONTROL
Centralized C2 of air and
space forces under a single
Airman is a fundamental
principle of air and space
doctrine.
20. AIRLIFT
Inter theater airlift
– CONUS to theater
– Between theaters
– Within CONUS
Intra theater airlift
– Within commander’s
area of responsibility
21. AIR REFUELING
ForceEnabler-
Increases range or
endurance of
receivers
Force Multiplier-
Allows aircraft to
takeoff with higher
payloads and not
sacrifice payload for
fuel
22. SPACELIFT
The AF provides spacelift for 4 basic
purposes
– Deploy systems to fulfill new
requirements
– Sustain existing systems close to
failure
– Augment existing systems with
redundancy or additional capability
– Servicing and maintaining existing or
newly deployed systems
23. SPECIAL OPERATIONS
The use of special airpower
operations (denied territory
mobility, surgical firepower, and
special tactics) to conduct the
following:
– Unconventional warfare
– Direct action
– Special reconnaissance
– Counterterrorism
– Foreign Internal Defense
– PSYOPS
– Counterproliferation
24. INTELLIGENCE
Effective air intelligence
results when actionable
information derived from a
detailed understanding of
adversary systems,
capabilities, and intentions
is delivered in time to
make germane planning
and operational decisions
on how, when, and where
to engage enemy forces.
25. SURVEILLANCE AND
RECONNAISSANCE
Surveillance- function of
observing air, space, surface, or
subsurface areas, places,
persons, or things by visual,
aural, electronic, photographic,
or other means (passive
watching)
Recon- obtaining specific info
about the activities and
resources of an enemy (active
doing)
AF has the platforms to do this
in real-time, day or night, good
weather or bad!
26. COMBAT SEARCH AND
RESCUE
Specific task performed by
rescue forces to recover
isolated personnel during war or
MOOTW
– CSAR is an element of
Personnel Recovery (PR)
27. NAVIGATION AND POSITIONING
Provides accurate location and
time of reference in support of
strategic, operational and
tactical operations
28. WEATHER SERVICES
Supplies timely and accurate
environmental information,
including both space
environment and atmospheric
weather
29. Air and Space Maneuver Warfare
Strategic Movement / Maneuver
– Global Mobility
– Deploy/Employ/Redeploy/Sustain/MEDEVAC/MOOTW
– Army uses 60% of AF provided airlift (AF 25%, Nav/Mar 15%)
– Inter-theater (movement & maneuver)
– Global Attack
– Lethal and non lethal (fires,IO, etc)
– Anywhere/anytime (proximity doesn’t matter)
30. Air and Space Maneuver Warfare
Tactical Maneuver and Fires
– Fighter maneuvers to Six O’clock for a gun kill
– Bomber maneuvers to precision munitions release
envelope
– Airdrop of Airborne troops into combat
31. Air and Space Maneuver Warfare
Operational Maneuver and Fires from the Air
– Strike directly at enemy COGs, vital centers, and
critical vulnerabilities
– Proceed directly to targets without regard to
Gives surface forces freedom of
enemy forces or terrain
action…enhances the effectiveness of the
– Provide air superiorityjoint force friendly freedom
entire permitting
of maneuver.
– Provide widespread Precision Strike, persistent
ISR, comprehensive SA
32. Air and Space Maneuver Warfare
Operational Maneuver and Fires from the Air
– Symmetric force-on-force sometimes required
– Air-to-air combat and SEAD to achieve air superiority
– Battle of Britain
– Parallel & asymmetric operations (most effective)
– Simultaneous strikes on wide array of targets over entire JOA
– Speed/Range/3D advantage
– Maximum effect across entire enemy system
– Should be conducted with other elements of joint force, but capable
of operational schemes of maneuver independent of or supported by
surface maneuver forces
– Centralized control/decentralized execution
– The master tenet
– The basis for the JFACC
33. Air and Space Maneuver Warfare
Operational Maneuver and Fires from the Air
– Effects Based Operations
– Airman must think through the full range of outcomes, events,
and consequences that result from an action
– Offer commanders options beyond annihilation or attrition
– Commanders can focus on meeting objectives rather than
managing target lists
