Air Force Association’s 21st Annual Air Warfare
Symposium
"Expeditionary Air and Space Power—Forging the Interdependent Joint Force"
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. The 21st century Air and Space Expeditionary Force is here to stay. The 2005 Air Warfare Symposium will
focus on integrated air war and the future of the Air Force.
