Perspectives on theater air campaign planning - Santa Monica, Calif.: RAND, 1995 - 50p. - MR-515-AF .

This document reports on independent, exploratory research on air campaign planning and execution. Its purpose is threefold: to provide observations on the current process and capabilities for planning and executing air operations in theatre conflicts; to identify key issues associated with those processes; to recommend analytic concentrations for future research. The focus is at the broadest level of campaign planning and execution-activities flowing from the definition of campaign and operational objectives down to the allocation, apportionment and tasking of forces.
