How is war categorized?

Specify the 3 basic levels of war.

• Strategic
• Operational
• Tactical

Strategic-adresses the why we fight, the what we fight, and the why the enemy fights against us.

Describe the operational level of warfare.

The core competencies are:

1. Air and space superiority-rarely is an end in itself but is a means to the end of attaining military objectives. It is an important first step in military operations. It provides freedom to attackas well as freedom from attack.

2.Precision engagement-is the ability to command, control, and employ forces to cause discriminate strategic, iperational, or tactical effects.

3.Information superiority-is the ability to collect, control, exploit, and defend information while denying an adversary the ability to do the same and, like air and space superiority, includes graining control over the nformaiton realm and fully exploiting military information functions. Information superiority was the first function of the AF.

4.Global attack-provides the AF with the unique ability to attack rapidly and persistently with a wide range of munitions anywhere on the globe at any time.

5.Rapid global mobility-refers to the timely movement, positoning, and sustainment of military forces and capabilities through air and space, across the range of military operations.

6.Agile combat support-provides the AF with highly responsive force support that is poised to respond to global taskings within hours and also support that force with equal facility. This includes all elements of a forward base-support structure--maintenance, supply, transportation, comm, sv, engineer, security, med,and religious.

1.Mission essential task (MET)-a task selected or expanded on from the AFTL as a fundamental requisite for the performance or accomplishment of an organization's assigned mission.

2.Supporting task-specific activity that contributes to the accomplishment of a mission essential task.

3.Enabling task is specific activity that makes it possible to accomplish a mission essensial task.

4.Joint training enviroment uses command-linked tasks to depict the interface between supported and supporting commands and agencies.

As core task, capability tasks, tasks that provide capabilities and performance tasks. The core tasks are numbered 1-7 and directly related to our core competencies. The capability tasks enable the core tasks. Atask that provides capabilities describes the capabiity in 4 aspects: Perform, Educate and Train, Equip, and Plan. The performance tasks are broken down further where greated detail is required to orgainize a capability composed of whide ranging specialties.

Conditions are those variables of an operational enviroment that may affect unit, system, or individual performance. Conditions are those variables of an operational enviroment or situation in which a unit, system, or individual is expected to operate that may affect effectiveness. Conditions are organized into 3 broad categories: Physical, Military, and Civil.

1.Operational Assurance-Operational assessments are invaluable as an independent, third party verification of unit capability.

2.Compliance Assurance-Is necessary to ensure we, as an institution, comply with established standards.

3.Task Assurance-The third component of assurance will indicate units' progress on meeting standards reflected in established METs.

There wer 2 major studies conducted by Air University. The "SPACE CAST 2020" study looked at how the space arena would evolve and what new missions and applications for space power might develop over the next 25yrs. The "AF 2025" study tried to determine how the world might look in the future. The AF Scientific Advisory Board conducted another study that looked at where technology is going over the next 2 decades and the ideas that would be beneficial for the AF to pursue.

Technologies in our military arsenal are widely avalibale and affordable; contigencies are more complex and numerousthan ever before; the military must be prepared for short-notice actions; and continued deficit reduction efforts will result in greatly reduced operating budgets.

The air and space thread runs throughout the new vision. Joint Vision 2010 provides an opportunity for the AF to demostrate the combat power and utility of air and space power to the Joint Force Commander. Like Global Engagement, Joint Vision 2010 emphasizes long term and strategic planning. The vision provides a way to think about joint warfare of the future, and it depends on and highlights the contributions of air power for success.

Global Engagement is based on six core competencies and four centarl themes. What are the central themes.
