Building the Eagle's Nest

<p>This paper examines the best means of improving the AEF's responsiveness by addressing the question: Whether the basing of expeditionary forces should be a sequential or parallel process? ... For the Air Expeditionary Force to respond rapidly the fundamental assumption about the process of projecting air power should be that it occurs concurrently not sequentially. The implications of changing this assumption are that the service should develop cross-functional units that all personnel have more training in beddown skills and a portion of Air Force fighters have a vertical take-off and landing capability.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
