    Two things are certain—death and taxes! Or maybe just taxes. Scientists are attempting to cheat death with rapidly progressing technologies capable of constructing and manipulating life synthetically from basic chemical elements. While the advancing rates of capability in computing speed,

  • Toward a Fail-Safe Air Force Culture

    Col Steve Goldfein, commander of the 1st Fighter Wing, summed up his responsibility stating, "In the end, commanders do only two things—provide vision and set the environment. Almost everything you do for the organization falls into one of these categories." Unfortunately, it is

  • Achieving Medical Currency via Selected Staff

    During Operations Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Iraqi Freedom, the Air Force Medical Service (AFMS) contributed to the lowest “died of wounds rate” in the history of warfare (less than 10 percent).1 Cutting-edge medical care on the battlefield and revolutionary methods of transporting

  • Principles of War for Cyberspace

    As the US Air Force develops doctrine, education, and organization for cyberspace, the traditional principles of war must be considered to see how and if they apply to cyberspace, and under what situations, so we can develop a conceptual foundation for effective cyberspace war-fighting doctrine.

  • Defending the Homeland

    In the fall of 2009, five al-Qaeda operatives were arrested by federal authorities while in the final stages of separate operational plans to conduct attacks within the United States.1 Clearly, law enforcement was aware of their activities. Others within the US intelligence community were aware of

  • Continued Optical Sensor Operations

    The United States and other nations are developing laser (i.e., "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation") applications, including high-energy lasers (HEL) and low-energy lasers (LEL). While HELs will likely have military applications in ballistic missile defense (BMD),

    The "Steel Horses." Born of necessity in the long war in Southeast Asia to fly search and rescue and special operations missions, the US Air Force fleet of 52 HH-53s and 20 CH-53s were subsequently modified with state-of-the-art precision navigation capability under a program called Pave
