I’m a proud member of this dedicated team of professionals. My Air Force story is, but one out of thousands of others illustrating the diverse backgrounds and values our Airmen bring to our force, the experiences that shape our understanding of the profession of arms, and the contributions we make to the Air Force’s
the World Trade Center in New York City, and the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C. This prompted the United States to launch a war on the terrorist organizations in Afghanistan.

assigned to Air Force B-1 bomber units which flew missions over Iraq. These air missions were the first in aerial combat by women in each service of the military. At this time the Air Force had 350 women serving among its 13,000 aviators (Sisk, 1998). Air Force women also served in the Afghanistan War from 2001 to 2014, and in the Iraq War from 2003 until 2011. Out of the 1.6 million service members deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, more than 200,000 were women. Women represented 11% of the forces deployed
the 20th century, the Allied Air Forces during World War II experienced rapid advancements in technology, mainly with the immense amount of new aircrafts that were being made, as well as the new tactics used. This progress would greatly influence modern day as it pushed for the evolution of the air force, as it pushed the boundaries of what was possible. The Allied Air Forces consisted of the United States Army Air Forces, The Royal Air Force, and the Soviet Air Force, all of which increased in control

would be more effective. Lethal weapons coupled with the use of force has become a social highlight throughout the last few years. The use of non-lethal weapons in law enforcement has become an important asset to Police use of force. It is an ever-increasing problem that is in dire need of immediate action to be taken before things spiral further out of control. This paper suggests approaches that can be used to help reduce the use of force by using non-lethal weapons. Thus we should look at another
The evasion of Sicily in World War II code named Operation HUSKY provides an excellent case study to evaluate joint functions. Operation HUSKY demonstrates the complexity of joint operations between air, land, and sea, while providing relevant lessons for today’s leaders. Operation HUSKY was successful in achieving its objective to capture and control Sicily as a base of future military operations. However, this essay will evaluate operational level leadership failures with regard to the joint functions
Special Forces: The Other Side of the Dragon Soldier The United States Army Chemical Corps is often times looked upon as an irrelevant asset to the Army as a whole. Although there may be times that this thought process may seem justified because there may be no current threat, there are some aspects of the military that use Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) forces as a mission accomplishment necessity. The Special Operations Forces currently use two well-trained CBRN elements
facility where medical care is provided. The times have changed and also the mission, with better helicopters and better equipment. This provided better chances for personnel to survive, during the time of need. To many this is called the Army air ambulance. This covers the transfer of personnel from the battlefield to the hospital trauma center. The Army uses the MedEvac operation in many situations during garrison, field, and combat operations. Each mission is planned due to the operation which is given
The Special Operations Forces of the United States are arguably the best in the world. The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is comprised of men and women from all four branches of the armed services. They are a special breed of people that undergo some of the most intense physical training and psychological stress anyone can put themselves through; and they volunteer for it. The few lucky ones make it through their respective services’ selection phase the first time around.
The U.S. attempted to apply conventional warfare strategy to the communist insurgency in South Vietnam. The result of this strategy was that U.S. forces were victorious in almost every military battle, but could not translate tactical achievement into operational and strategic success. However, during the course of the war, the U.S. discovered three elements of strategy that, if melded into a cohesive whole, could have achieved American objectives for a reasonable cost. First, the U.S. should
Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) many Air Force aircraft have been forced to operate in austere and rugged airfields. Force multiplying, rapid global mobility, and overall airpower are directly related to the military's ability to operate in the deployed environment. Although this mission is performed everyday and may not seem like a big deal, what is the impact to Air Force assets that continue to perform these operations on a daily basis? How can the Air Force prevent and minimize the hazards
Battle of Mogadishu turned into a battle for the lives of many American Special forces. Most are more familiar with this battle from the book “Black Hawk Down” by Mark Bowden and the motion picture that followed with the same title. Let’s put the lack of operational, intelligence and command preparedness for conducting the actual mission aside for a minute and focus on the recovery of the American Aircrew and Special Forces members stranded in the middle of the city. Could the command have prevented
POSITION PAPER ON DIVERSITY AND THE AIR FORCE 1. This paper will focus on the need to promote diversity in the Air Force and the diversity of thought amongst the ranks. The focus will be upon the current organizational climate, proposed solutions for consideration, and what should be done to levy change. 2.

Being in the military and being able to communicate anywhere in the world anytime means there is always IT going and coming, and leaves area that can be breeched. The Air Force has a large turnover in personnel every year. All members are taught how parts of the military operate and IT is executed. This makes the system
Foster sheep ranch near Corona, 85 miles northwest of Roswell. Brazell, who lived on a nearby ranch, had notified the sheriff the day before about the crash (AJ). Wilcox called Major Jesse Marcel, Intelligence Officer at the nearby Roswell Army Air Force Base[1], informing him of his find. Marcel, joined by Sheriff Wilcox and Sheridan Cavitt, Counter-Intelligence Officer from the Roswell base, raced to investigate the crash site (Jaroff).
