This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Provides a look at what the U.S. Air Force (USAF) should be about in the future, specifically 10¿15 years from now. This study identifies the enduring attributes of our nation¿s air, space, and cyberspace force in the context of major transitions. The study avoided a focus on hardware and resourcing; the focus is on roles, missions, and functions ¿such as the transition from the Cold War to Long War era.¿ The study¿s target audience was the presidential transition teams, with a delivery date ¿prior to the next election.¿ The intent is to understand the value of the service¿s contribution to national security and, where appropriate, offer considerations for change. It provides insight into the most pressing issues facing the USAF in the post¿Cold War era. Illus.
