Evaluating Possible Airfield Deployment Options: Middle East Contingency (Who Runs What in the Global Information Grid: Ways to Share Local and Global Responsibility) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In the interests of preserving economic stability, the United States is likely to continue in its role as guardian of global access to energy supplies in the Middle East. Ultimately, however, the success of U.S. strategy in this region will pivot on ready military access to bases and other facilities throughout the area. Yet given the volatility that has long characterized the region together with ongoing military and political changes there, U.S. planners can no longer rely on timely or unconstrained access to such facilities. The United States and its allies thus have a compelling need for a broader range of potential deployment options in the region. Accordingly, this report examines the operational capabilities of commercial and military airfields throughout the Middle East and the Black and Caspian Sea regions.
