Heavy Duty Air Force

摘要

The pivotal role now being played by the Air Force in the nation's confrontation with Iraq, the global war on terror, and defense of the homeland dominated presentations at the Air Force Association's annual Air Warfare Symposium held Feb. 13-14 in Orlando, Fla. Senior Air Force leaders and other top military officials spoke about the demands of the current war and how the Air Force is preparing to meet its future challenges. These include―but are not limited to―an aging fleet of aircraft, inadequate numbers of specialized weapon systems, and heavy demands on the small active force as well as the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve Command.
