About

Success on the AirLand battlefield depends on securing and retaining the initiative and exercising it aggressively. Key to obtaining the initiative is achieving air superiority or at least air parity. This requires significant offensive and defensive air capability which is dependent on fixed ground bases. These air bases must be protected by air and ground defenses, if they are to survive, and they must quickly become operational following enemy attacks. Hence, quick and efficient repair of damaged air bases will be critical in any theater of operations. Operations may be conducted in mature, forward-deployed theaters or immature, contingency theaters. This may occur during prehostility actions as well as during actual hostilities. In either case, air power will be essential.
