AP 501(S) - Airpower Strategy: An Overview

OVERVIEW

Colin Gray and Robert Pape offer radically different approaches to the study of Airpower, and the development of successful Airpower strategies. This seminar will compare and contrast their theoretical approaches, and create a foundation for the rest of the course from their ideas. It is the first of two foundational discussions on the development of Airpower strategy.

OBJECTIVES
 * 1) Comprehend the concept of strategy, and how it relates to the utilization of Airpower.
 * 2) Analyze Colin Gray’s concept of Airpower strategy.
 * 3) Analyze Robert Pape’s concept of coercive Airpower strategies.
