摘要

History shows that air bases have played a vitally important role in a U.S. air commander's ability to achieve increased effectiveness through the maneuver of air power at the operational level of war. But future air commanders' ability to maneuver air power at sea on aircraft carriers or at land air bases will be seriously challenged in a near-peer or peer conflict. Aircraft carriers conducting sustained air operations close to land sacrifice the protection mobility provides and could risk unacceptable losses. Further, opponents such as China and Russia are too distant from the sea to be within the range of unrefueled, carrier-based aircraft, and advancements in surveillance and precision missile technology pose a dual and increasingly dangerous threat to carriers, despite their mobility. Finally, as accidents during the Vietnam War demonstrated, the concentration of large numbers of aircraft, fuel, munitions, and personnel on a small carrier deck poses a major risk should any attack reach its intended target; even if the ship itself survives, it would likely have to leave the area to make lengthy repairs. In contrast to carriers, air commanders can still conduct survivable air power maneuver using land bases, provided the Air Force recognizes the critical importance of making the air base a key concern when establishing aircraft requirements. While aircraft are now seen as weapons systems that require integration of the airframe, engine, avionics, and munitions, the Air Force has neglected appropriate planning for air base requirements to ensure aircraft can operate effectively at the operational level of war against a near-peer opponent. The Department of Defense often makes the unexamined assumption during tactically oriented exercises that air power will always be available and operable. Yet the growing threat from precision attacks by near-peer precision attacks suggests that may not be the case.
