Global air mobility is an American invention. During the twentieth century, other nations developed capabilities to transport supplies and personnel by air to support deployed military forces. But only the United States mustered the resources and will to create a global transport force and aerial refueling aircraft capable of moving air and ground combat forces of all types to anywhere in the world and supporting them in continuous combat operations. Whether contemplating a bomber campaign or halting another surprise attack, American war planners have depended on transport and tanker aircraft.

Strategic mobility is crucial to our capability to provide a credible conventional deterrent to infringements on our worldwide interests. It is the key to a major element of our defense policy -- the firm commitment to timely deployment of combat forces and suporting equipment to Europe to counter a Warsaw Pact threat against the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The inability of planners to count on clear-cut and unambiguous indications of Warsaw Pact preparations for attack compound the already serious problems of resupply and reinforcement in the NATO arena. This is a discussion of our defense transportation system that current capabilities and organizations may not be sufficient to meet likely strategic deployment requirements for either long or short war senarios. Future conflicts may well involve an increase in the tempo of warfare, with resulting increases in the consumption of war-fighting materials, placing even greater demands on the transportation resources that make up the strategic mobility capability.

This monograph analyzes US military air power - US Army relations form 1907 to the present. It emphasizes one aspect of those relations-how air forces intended for the tactical support of ground forces can best be controlled and integrated into the overall ground battle. After a review of changing air- ground relationships from 1907 to 1982, this work examines the 31 Initiatives, the most recent US Army - US Air Force agreement on developing joint combat forces and battlefield cooperation. It also discusses the process behind the formulation of the 31 Initiatives and discusses how that process provides one example of the introduction of innovation or change into a military organization. In addition, this work details the immediate and longer term response of the two services to the Initiatives. The importance of this monograph is twofold. It supplies a case study of innovation and, more significantly, it places the 31 Initiatives in their place as the far-reaching and comprehensive end product of a decade of Air Force - Army cooperation.
