USAF Force Protection

<p>This paper will discuss the past present and future of Force Protection in the United States Air Force. Force Protection Past will be defined as the period immediately following the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing through the beginnings of the Expeditionary Air Force in 1999. The ultimate success of the Air Force's force protection program will depend a great deal upon how well the Air Force is able to instill in its personnel the concept that force protection is everyone's responsibility. Without this understanding the Air Force will needlessly increase the risk to U.S. airpower.</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.
