  4. Strategic vs. Tactical • Strategic – def: “relating to the creation of strategy” • Strategic Plan • Usually sequentially driven • While this strategic plan development applies to military operations as well, in terms of capabilities the term “Strategic” is used to describe the overall effect of a specific operation. To help simplify this definition, lets look at sports…

  5. Strategic vs. Tactical Tactical • Remember, its about the effect • The difficult part in comparing strategic vs. tactical effects is that sometimes a “tactical” event can have “strategic” consequences Effects Based Operations Strategic Warden’s COGs

  6. Global Capability – Strategic Attack Strategic Attackis defined as military action carried out against an enemy’s Center of Gravity (COG) or other vital target sets, including command elements, war-production assets, and key supporting infrastructure

  7. Global Capability – Counter Land Counter Land Operations:Counter Land involves those operations conducted to attain and maintain a desired degree of superiority over surface operations by the destruction or neutralization of enemy surface forces.

  8. Global Capability – Counter Land • Counter Land Operations:Includes two subgroups: • Air Interdictionoperations destroys, disrupts, diverts, or delays the enemy’s surface military potentialbefore it can be used effectively against friendly forces. • Close Air Supportis the use of aerospace assets to directly support the ground force. Air Interdiction Close Air Support

  9. Global Capability – Counter Sea Counter SeaOperationsare a collateral function that extends the application of Air Force power into the maritime environment. Specific Counter Sea missions include surface warfare (anti-ship), undersea warfare (anti-submarine), sea surveillance, and aerial mine-laying.

  10. Global Capability – Special Operations Special Operationsemployment is the use of special operations airpower, to conduct the following primary missions: unconventional warfare, direct action, special reconnaissance, combating terrorism, foreign internal defense, psychological operations (PSYOP), civil affairs, information operations, and counter proliferation
