Anticipating varied and fast-breaking regional crises in the future, the United States is reassessing how it prepares, maintains, and employs its military forces. Key to this effort is examining the combat support (CS) system, and particularly the command and control of CS forces (CSC2). This research looks at the current operational architecture for incorporating CSC2 and proposes an expanded version of an architecture for the future. Using interviews with personnel, lessons learned from recent operations, and analysis of current CSC2, this report's authors make recommendations to help the Air Force's CS community move to this new architecture. This book builds on previous RAND research and is part of a larger series dedicated to bettering the support of the Air and Space Expeditionary Force. The accompanying CD-ROM contains electronic versions of detailed process diagrams and holds the complete library of notional information products the authors propose.

Strategic bombardments, either aimed explicitly at civilians or deployed in circumstances where extensive civilian deaths are written off as collateral damage or accidental, are becoming increasingly common. This book shows how certain European colonial powers, notably Britain, initiated aerial bombardment of civilians after World War I, how it was an instrument of choice in World War II, and how it has since been refined and practised by the US in Korea, Vietnam, the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq. It exposes the rationalizations put forward to avoid the label of?state terrorism?, the race, g.
