Air Force Association’s Twentieth Annual Air Warfare
Symposium
Integrated Air War in the 21st Century
Lessons from Operation Iraqi Freedom and the Way Ahead
The imperative of modern airpower is now apparent as power projection
forces in air and space play a pivotal role in the success of joint operations.
In the ongoing war on terrorism, speed, range, flexibility, lethality, and
precision—all fundamental attributes of modern airpower—will be in increasing
demand by joint and combined forces. In the aftermath of the war in Iraq, there
is no turning back. The 21st century Air and Space Expeditionary Force is here
to stay. The 20th Annual Air Warfare Symposium will focus on the future of the
Air Force and integrated air war in the 21st Century.
