Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Recent operations in Iraq and Afghanistan underscore the assertion that the US military needs to be able to interact effectively across cultural boundaries. Consequently, there has been a significant effort to emphasize development of intercultural skills in Air Force (AF) professional military education (PME). This paper provides a vector check on recent efforts to energize intercultural curricula across the continuum of officer formal education. Specifically, it examines intercultural curricula at the US Air Force Academy (USAFA), Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), Officer Training School, Air and Space Basic Course (ASBC), Squadron Officers School (SOS), Air Command and Staff College (ACSC) and Air War College (AWC), analyzing how each program teaches subjects related to building officers intercultural skills namely in the areas of cultural awareness, regional understanding and foreign language competency. The author focused on core curricula, rather than optional or elective offerings, under the premise that core curricula best reflects institutional values and priorities in educating the mainstream officer. The methodology for the study was to examine each institutions plan for teaching culture, region and language in Academic Year 2007, noting changes from previous years based on leaderships direction to emphasize intercultural skills. To gather data, the author interviewed faculty and staff at all of the institutions, reviewed applicable lesson plans and consulted experts in the field. Given the picture of what will be taught across the continuum of education, the analysis endeavors to compare the anticipated product against the perceived expectations. In other words, what will be taught in Academic Year 2007, and does it adequately address the perceived need.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This thesis investigates how an air component commander integrates air-to-ground target identification criteria into combat air operations. The analytical methodology of the thesis begins by developing common attributes of effective criteria. It then uses these common attributes as a framework for comparing two different paradigms for articulating rules of engagement in this area. The first is the 'positive identification' approach, indicative of recent air operations and exercises. The second paradigm, developed by the author, is one in which a commander communicates weapons system-specific criteria for each tasked target. The author has drawn upon official doctrine, personal interviews, a survey, and unclassified written documents as source material for the thesis. The thesis concludes that there should be a fundamental shift in how air commanders integrate air-to-ground target identification criteria into combat air operations. Communicating weapons system-specific criteria for each tasked target is more advantageous than using an over-arching criterion, such as 'positive identification.' Target-specific criteria allow a tasking commander to communicate and manage risk better based on such factors as mission priority, capabilities of delivery platforms, and the potential for collateral damage or fratricide. Furthermore, the existing air tasking order process, with minor modifications, can effectively support this approach.
