Learning Large Lessons: The Evolving Roles of Ground Power and Air Power in the Post-Cold War Era--Executive Summary

by David E. Johnson

The relative roles of U.S. ground and air power in major operations and campaigns have shifted since the end of the Cold War. To assess this shift (i.e., between the Army and Air Force, respectively), this executive summary discusses four of the five post-Cold War conflicts analyzed in the larger Iraq (1991), Kosovo (1999), Afghanistan (2001), and Iraq (2003).
