Air Force Association’s Nineteenth Annual Air Warfare
Symposium
"Air and Space Warfare: Meeting the Challenge"
The Gulf War, Kosovo and Afghanistan confirm the rising imperative
of air and space warfare and the critical role of airpower in the
security of the nation. Airpower will be key to the success of
military transformation and the global war on terrorism. One
hundred years after the invention of the airplane, the 19th
Annual Air Warfare Symposium will examine what strategy,
capabilities and forces will define the Air Force of the future.
