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.
