Shaping the Future Air Force

Examines how U.S national security strategy and the USAF might change to cope with future major regional conflicts and counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, and nation-assistance operations. Calls for a new division of labor among the armed forces to adapt them to new challenges and recommends that the USAF undertake new initiatives to: counter enemy ballistic and cruise missiles; identify, track, and engage small, mobile, or concealed targets; neutralize adversary nuclear weapons; and provide assistance to friendly governments threatened by insurgencies or terrorist groups.Shlapak, David A. is the author of 'Shaping the Future Air Force', published 2006 under ISBN 9780833038791 and ISBN 0833038796.
