Abstract:

Airpower is strategic, but does that mean Airmen are predisposed to interact with strategy The physical domains in which the United States military projects power are separate and unique Airmen and the air domain reflect these qualities. The air domain embraces the entire globe, and the ability of air forces to project power enables a near infinite list of military options to national leadership. These options can be strategic and they can be tactical yet, Airmen are tactical by nature.
