• W1520926650 abstract "If you don't love Soldiers, you have noplace in my Air Force. - General Hal Homburg THE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT QUEST for victory in Iraq is putting enormous stress on the entire U.S. military establishment. As is predictable in such situations, one way the stress manifests itself is in a rising tide of interservice antagonism as the warfighting debate becomes more passionate. This rivalry often seems more intense between the Army and the Air Force. Soldiers suffer most of the casualties in Iraq and are rightly concerned about the support they receive. Unfortunately, some Soldiers question the Air Force's role or denigrate it. Many Soldiers appear to believe that the Air Force is filled with people who, as the former chief of staff of the Army put it, are obsessed with that go fast, make noise, and look shiny.1 Airmen, however, see themselves as part of a service that has been at war in the Middle East for 16 years, was key in defeating Iraq's conventional forces in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and is very much in today's counterin-surgency fight. Despite this, Airmen feel that the Army under-appreciates and misunderstands them. Many Airmen are concerned, for example, that the Army's new Field Manual (FM) 3-24, Counterinsurgency, trivializes airpower's role by confining it to a 5-page annex in a 282-page text. Honest disagreements as to how to address the greatest threats of the 21st century are the premise for some of the contentiousness. Sure, some of it is sheer service parochialism on both sides, but much of it is simply a mutual lack of knowledge. Much ofthat is, in turn, the fault of the Air Force, which often does a poor job of explaining itself. Airmen-rather naively-believe that the Air Force's spectacular successes speak for themselves. Because the Air Force does so many things so efficiently-from air defense to airlift to precision attack to reconnaissance to operating and controlling the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites-it might appear to the Army (and everyone else) that all this is easy to do. Airmen do see their service as unique. While it is certainly true that America's includes the vitally important air arms of the other services, it is an article of faith among Airmen that the United States has only one Air Force-one service that focuses on maximizing options for decision-makers by optimizing airpower. To an Airman, airpower includes air, space, and Cyberspace power in all its many dimensions. Airmen contend that airpower's flexibility, range, and payload make it capable of applying force at tactical, operational, and strategic levels across the entire spectrum of conflict. Of course, the Army and the other services can do so as well. However, Airmen believe that what makes airpower different from land and sea power is the fact that it can assert U.S. military muscle literally anywhere in the world with a velocity that none can equal. To an Airman, the ability to act quickly is the coin of the realm in the 21 st century, as is airpower's ability to apply combat power in a way that puts relatively few Americans at risk. Scarcely anyone disputes the supremacy that U.S. airpower now enjoys in the dimensions in which it operates. To achieve that dominance, the Air Force is vastly more technology-dependent than the other services need to be, and that fact greatly influences Air Force culture and thinking. Obviously, the Air Force operates in environments that are only accessible by mastering technology, but it is really more than that. The sheer sophistication of the technology counts a lot, perhaps even as much as the skill of the Airman wielding it. For example, from the first moment jet aircraft appeared in World War II, they had an immediate and radical impact. By comparison, when mechanized units first appeared on the battlefield in World War I, they had little effect on the war. It took decades for mechanization to evolve into the decisive force it became. …" @default.
