Special Operations Command North’s Post

As a new generation of United States ground-based conventionally armed missile programmes gather pace, the question of where the Army and the Marine Corps will deploy these new systems is coming into focus. These basing decisions are critical in the Indo-Pacific theatre. https://lnkd.in/dHpsCjYM

Provide the nation’s specialized airpower, capable across the spectrum of conflict … Any place, any time, anywhere! AFSOC provides Air Force special operations forces for worldwide deployment and assignment to regional unified commands. The command's SOF are composed of highly trained, rapidly deployable Airmen, conducting global special operations missions ranging from precision application of firepower to infiltration, exfiltration, resupply and refueling of SOF operational elements.

The command's core missions include battlefield air operations; agile combat support; aviation foreign internal defense; information operations/military support operations; precision strike; specialized air mobility; command and control; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

Very interesting insights for actual modern warfare.

One of the greatest challenges in conflict is balancing risk versus reward. If a force dedicates resources to achieve any objective, or to accomplish a mission, be it equipment, technology, or human lives, critical thinking must take place at a rapid pace because the environment and the risks associated are rapidly changing. We have created a tabletop wargame to provide every Airman across the Air Force with access to an introductory experience that teaches and reinforces the instruments of national power, multi-domain integration and Agile Combat Employment.

How do you manage AND LEAD a declining Defense Department End strength? One way could include eliminating redundancy, and modifying unit Missions across the full Range Of Military Operations (ROMO) = Engagement (Engage - people to people) - Crisis Response (CR) - Power Projection (PP) - Irregular Warfare (IW) - Major Combat Operations (MCO).

Is Australia preparing for war? In my newest Talking Tactics episode, I’m exploring Australia's extensive defence initiatives and investments. From the AUKUS partnership and the acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines to upgrades in army, navy, and air force bases, we're delving into the details, costs, and strategic significance of each endeavour. Let me know in the comments whether you think that these projects will bolster Australia's military capabilities, protect its borders, and contribute to global security efforts, or if they'll just be a waste of money. Today, we’re talking tactics. #AUKUS #australiandefence #militaryspending

Air Supremacy of US Air Force Aerial supremacy (also known as air superiority) is the degree to which a side in a conflict holds control of air power over opposing forces. There are levels of control of the air in aerial warfare. Control of the air is the aerial equivalent of command of the sea. Air power has increasingly become a powerful element of military campaigns; military planners view having an environment of at least air superiority as a necessity. Air supremacy allows increased bombingefforts, tactical air support for ground forces, paratroop assaults, airdrops and simple cargo planetransfers, which can move ground forces and supplies. Air power is a function of the degree of air superiority and numbers or types of aircraft, but it represents a situation that defies black-and-white characterization.

Air power plays a crucial and decisive role in a war. Therefore, it is important to invest in enhancing Air Power to achieve Air Supremacy in war. US Air Force is spending fortunes to achieve Air Supremacy.

"We will staunchly advocate for and be unambiguous in our requirements for a mission-capable amphibious force, to include the following: the greatest possible readiness of the existing Amphibious Warfare Ship inventory; no fewer than 31 Amphibious Warfare Ships procured through cost-saving block-buys; two-year centers for LPDs and four-year centers for LHAs; and the criticality of the timely production of 35 LSMs and, in the interim, a Littoral Maneuver Bridging Solution."
