OVERVIEW

  • AIR FORCE CAPABILITIES
  • JOINT FORCES
  • NUCLEAR
  • CYBERSPACE
  • NATIONAL DEFENSE STRATEGY

AIR FORCE CAPABILITIES

  • Air and Space Superiority
  • Command and Control
  • Rapid Global Mobility
  • Global Strike
  • Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)

AIR FORCE CAPABILITIES

AIR FORCE CAPABILITIES

AIR AND SPACE SUPERIORITY

AIR AND SPACE SUPERIORITY

  • We can no longer assume that the United States superiority is given...
  • In 25 years China went from having 24 fighter jets to 700 fourth generation fighter jets
  • China and our adversaries have been studying our military for 30 years, they are aware of our vulnerabilities

  • US Counter: Improving existing aircraft and introducing a 5th gen aircraft including the F-22, F-35, KC-46 and B-21 Raider Bomber.

COMMAND AND CONTROL

COMMAND AND CONTROL

  • Systems confrontation is recognized by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) as the mode of warfare in the 21st century.
  • Paralyze major operational systems such as command and control logistics
  • Cost effective to disrupt command and control

  • United States counter: Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) that envisions connecting all of the sectors from all military services into a single server.
  • The Air Force sums up its core missions as providing “Global Vigilance, Global Reach, and Global Power."

RAPID GLOBAL MOBILITY

RAPID GLOBAL MOBILITY

  • USAF mobility forces carry cargo and personnel around the world, enabling operations by all U.S. and many allied military services. Tanker aircraft make global deployments possible, and aeromedical transport makes timely evacuation and treatment of injured troops possible.

  • Strategic bases positioned all over the world.

GLOBAL STRIKE

GLOBAL STRIKE

  • China has become more versatile as its missiles have become smaller, more powerful, and more accurate
  • DF-21D: first medium-range anti-ship ballistic missile of its kind
  • DF-ZF: represents a potential leap in global reach, a hypersonic glide vehicle that can be used to deliver nuclear weapons.

  • US Counter:
  • Modernize submarines, aircraft, etc.
  • B-21 Raider Bomber
  • Large scale modernization of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs)

INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE, AND RECONNAISSANCE (ISR)

"Eyes and Ears on Adversaries"

INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE, AND RECONNAISSANCE (ISR)

  • The best weapons in the world are useless unless they are aimed accurately
  • China has built a wide variety of ISRs to provide forces with military-civil fusion to create the most technologically advanced military

  • US Counter: The House and Senate Armed Services Committees emphasized the importance of joint airborne ISR capabilities and established a Future of Defense Task Force to review and assess US defense capabilities to meet emerging threats
  • The USAF provides ISR using manned and unmanned aircraft, space assets, and other technologies to provide policymakers and warfighters that data where and when it is needed.

JOINT FORCES

JOINT FORCES

RISKS INVOLVED DURING ADVERSARIAL & NON-ADVERSARIAL CRISIS RESPONSE

WHAT ACTIONS DO WE SUGGEST?

  • ADVERSARIAL
  • Nations could void agreements and bypass ROE/wartime laws such as the following outcomes:
  • Cataclysmic: EMP's and Nuclear warfare
  • Alternative: Unorthodox measures of warfare to obtain success against opponents
  • Disruptive: Opposing forces using advanced tech to attack and remove US strategic upperhand
  • NON-ADVERSARIAL
  • Objective: To maintain positive relations and provide peace amongst nations.
  • Risks: Force numbers, cost, irreversible severed relations, sustainability of operation(s).

Objectives 2

  • Fully utilize newly formed Space Force in support of global reach
  • Promote mulitcapable Airmen
  • Create a coalition force with several nations and dedicate it to the regions

UNITY OF EFFORT

TACTICAL ACTIONS TO COUNTER OR DEFER POTENTIAL THREATS

  • "A cooperative concept which refers to coordination and communication among USG agencies toward the same common goals for success."
  • Mission objective?
  • Promote world peace
  • Create a more beneficial future
  • Emphasize on the nations peace, development, stability, and security
  • By displaying coalition forces with other nations, we've held China at bay

Operational Effectiveness

Unity of purpose

Unity of Effort

  • Accelerate Change or Lose
  • While we were trying to collecting intelligence on China, they were busy creating advanced tech to compete with ours.
  • "Under estimating our adversaries" could be a means of failure
  • How do we make changes?
  • US Cyber command consolidate/centralize under Space Force's command
  • Adjust for the FY2023 Budget
  • Step up our relations and presence in Taiwan/Indo Pacific

NUCLEAR

HOW THE DOD LEVERAGES NUCLEAR ENTERPRISE IN RELATION TO CHINA

  • China flatly refused to hold nuclear treaty talks with the Trump administration and appears to be continuing to object under the new administration, citing the vast number of nuclear warheads held by both the U.S. and Russia.
  • Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world with more than 6,300 warheads on hand. The U.S. comes in second with approximately 5,800 warheads, China ranks a distant third with 320 nuclear warheads, a fact that Beijing frequently refers to in its refusals to enter nonproliferation talks.
  • 6.4% of the DoD budget is to deter nuclear warfare
  • Goal: One sided dominance for the US; able to dominate any level of escalation, but U.S. nuclear strategy is one of resolve and restraint, sending a message to the adversary that it has much more to lose if it continues down the path of nuclear escalation.

CYBERSPACE

HOW DOES THE DOD LEVERAGE CYBERSPACE?

  • Both the United States and China have identified cyberspace as critical to their economic and national security, and have adopted a number of domestic and international strategies to shape the Internet. At the same time, each country is likely to see the other as an important, if not the main, impediment to the pursuit of its interests in cyberspace.

Our Response

  • The DoD has taken actions to prevent China from cyber-espionage and other hostile cyber operations. For example, in September 2015, the DoD published a study on China's cyber capabilities. The study was meant to warn China and other countries that the US is aware of their capabilities and would hold them responsible.
  • The DoD has also improved its own cyber defenses to fend against Chinese cyber strikes. The DoD announced in October 2016 a new Cyber Command tasked with securing military networks and executing offensive cyber operations. The creation of Cyber Command shows China and other countries that the US is serious about protecting its interests in cyberspace.

NATIONAL DEFENSE STRATEGY

HOW DOES THE DOD SUPPORT THE NATIONAL DEFENSE STRATEGY?

What factors or ideas show China using instruments of national power?

  • Regional security (Including Joint Theater Commands)
  • Global economic reach
  • Committed into investing military growth/technological advancements

National Defense Objectives

National Defense Objectives
