- W350168247 abstract "In this lead article of the July 1944 issue of Military Review, General Henry H. Hap Arnold clearly articulates the principles associated with the Army's doctrinal deep concept at that time. tactical air force priorities he outlines are virtually identical to those employed by air component commanders today. This article clearly demonstrates why Arnold, the first General of the Air Force, is considered the founder of our modern-lay US Air Force. COMBAT AVIATON when employed by the higher commander, trained in the correct use of Air Power, is a powerful means for influencing the course of battle. formulation of a correct Decision which results in the proper employment of the Air Power assigned to the Theater is a function of command, and this Decision can be properly concluded only after a thorough and exhaustive Air Estimate of the Situation by the Air Commander and his Staff. A faulty or incomplete Air Estimate of the Situation can result only in an equally faulty and incorrect Decision and a subsequent employment of the available Air Power against unremunerative targets. Through such employment, the great offensive potential of Air Power is nullified and its contribution to eventual victory greatly weakened or perhaps completely lost. Nazis have furnished us an excellent example of incorrectly employed Air Power. In 1939, when the Nazis had the greatest air bombardment fleet in the world, it turned its efforts against the civilians of London. Targets of great strategic value such as factories, transportation facilities, and ship-producing facilities were neglected in a vain attempt to make the British people cry Quits. That Hitler and Goering failed is a matter of history. That we are not making the same mistake today is now a subject of great concern for Hitler and the entire German people. Under certain tactical conditions and from a correct Air Estimate of the Situation, the Commander will often decide that the enemy's rear areas offer the most favorable opportunities for the employment of the major part of the Air Power at his command. Normally, employment of the greater part of the aerial offensive effort against the enemy's rear areas is that aerial phase of operations referred to as the Isolation of the Field Manual 100-20, Command and Employment of Air Power, outlines my doctrine as to the proper employment of tactical air strength. It states: The mission of the tactical air force consists of three phases of operations in the following order of priority: (1) First priority-To gain the necessary degree of air superiority. This will be accomplished by attacks against aircraft in the air and on the ground, and against those enemy installations which he requires for the application of Air Power. (2) Second priority-To prevent the movement of hostile troops and supplies into the theater of operations or within the theater. (3) Third priority-To participate in a combined effort of the air and ground forces, in the battle area, to gain objectives on the immediate front of the ground forces. There can be no D day or H hour at which one phase of activity is completed and another phase begun. All three phases of the aerial offense will in most probability be conducted simultaneously, but, and this is the important fact to note, the first phase will always have the higher priority even though the greater number of aircraft and personnel may not be involved in its accomplishment. second and third phases will be assigned to the aircraft and personnel not needed for the successful accomplishment of the first phase of the aerial operations. It has often been found necessary, because of the enemy's effort to reinforce his air defensive strength, to assign the mission of regaining the necessary degree of air superiority to the greater part of our Air Power even after that necessary degree of air superiority had been once established and emphasis had been placed on missions aimed at the accomplishment of the Isolation of the Battlefield. …" @default.
