Published amid the ongoing debate over the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, Air Force Col Dan Magruder provides an examination of the strategic rationale that underpins that decision. Magruder, a fellow at the Brookings Institution and a veteran of that conflict, argues that the “strategic baggage” of a continued American military presence in the Middle East is hindering force recapitalization and a pivot to great power competition. By focusing on the most dangerous threats to national security, the Air Force, and the nation, can avoid the more common but less existential entanglements that inhibit our ability to adequately defend the country. [Col Daniel L. Magruder, Jr., USAF / 2021 / 57 pages / AU Press Code: P-132]

Since women were first allowed to officially join the US military in 1948, their integration into the traditionally masculine domain of war fighting has been both evolutionary and revolutionary. The Air Force has never known an existence without women in the ranks, which in turn has helped shape the perception, available opportunities, and utilization of female Airmen over the last 72 years. This definitive history draws from surviving extant records—scarce though they might be, in an institution not always given to chronicling the contributions of its female members—as well as interviews with the people who lived and made the history as it happened. What was it like being a woman in the Air Force throughout the decades? What challenges did these women face? How did they perceive their role in the force? What were their successes and where is there desire for change today? Perhaps most importantly, how can this historical context be used to help define and create the Air Force of the future?

This book is the account of the 803rd Aviation Engineer Battalion and its deployment to the Philippines during WWII. It is a cautionary tale, detailing the failures of leadership at all levels which led to ineffective infrastructure development, and eventually, the destruction of the heavy bomber fleet and the attrition of troops due to disease and death from a lack of supplies and support.
