    About this ebook

    Like many other new technologies, the use of airpower in war has gone through many changes as military leaders struggle to maximize its potential. Airpower assets have the unique capability to operate in all parts of an area of operations (AO) unrestricted by terrain and enemy fielded forces. This capability allows the military great flexibility in prosecuting targets to successfully achieve campaign objectives. However, airpower assets are a finite resource and great care must be taken to avoid minimizing the effects they can deliver.

    Much has been written about effects-based operations (EBO) throughout history, and the concept seems fairly simple on the surface. The leadership sets the objectives, and the military applies force in such a manner as to achieve effects that will allow attainment of those objectives. Joint Vision 2020 recognized the importance of EBO by stating,

    The concept of precision engagement extends beyond precisely striking a target with explosive ordnance. Information superiority will enhance the capability of the joint force commander to understand the situation, determine the effects desired, select a course of action and the forces to execute it, accurately assess the effects of that action, and reengage as necessary while minimizing collateral damage. During conflict, the commander will use precision engagement to obtain lethal and nonlethal effects in support of the objectives of the campaign.
