Abstract

Abstract : The services of the United States Military have made great progress in developing doctrine that fosters improved integration. Air Force Counterland doctrine is an example of this dedication to developing a fully integrated force. Counterland: air interdiction (AI) and close air support (CAS) . Recent historical analysis shows that although AI and CAS missions have been effective on the battlefield, Al and CAS do not fully describe the actual employment of air power. Counterland doctrine is inherently flawed and fails in its design to integrate air power with maneuver warfare. The inclusion of the direct attack (DA) mission into counterland doctrine will correct the doctrinal flaw and will help to further define the relationship between air power and maneuver warfare.
