Vector Check Published April 28, 2025 The name Vector Check draws from a familiar airpower concept—a deliberate assessment of current heading and course correction to ensure the desired destination is reached. In the same way, this publication serves as a critical moment of reflection and recalibration, examining where we are now and where we must go to remain dominant in the skies and across all domains. With a focus on the evolving challenges of modern conflict, Vector Check embodies both situational awareness and forward momentum—ensuring that our trajectory remains aligned with strategic success. ACSC Research ACSC Research: Unlock the cutting edge of airpower thought by diving into the research of Air Command and Staff College students and faculty—where academic rigor meets operational relevance, and where today's challenges are met with the same spirit of innovation that defined the Air Corps Tactical School.

Whether you're exploring multi-domain operations, leadership in contested environments, or the evolution of deterrence, this research bridges our storied past with the demands of tomorrow’s fight.
