The second report, Chronology, outlines many of the principal events of clear, direct, and tangible relevance to the planning of the Gulf War.

This achievement rested on technology, which both increased bombing accuracy and decreased the effectiveness of enemy defenses, and the reexamination and reapplication of traditional strategic bombing theory by USAF planning officers.  Alone of the world’s air forces the USAF possessed a 2,000 pound bomb designed to penetrate many feet of hardened concrete and steel. Its use destroyed most heavily protected and important Iraqi targets.  American anti-radar missiles intimidated Iraqi radar operators, leaving middle and upper altitudes free for Coalition air operations.  American stealth technology, in the form of the F-117A fighter gave the attacker virtual invulnerability while leaving the enemy defenseless.  Behind this new technology lay the USAF planning officers, who laid out their offensive in a logical manner designed to minimize both friendly and enemy casualties while excising Iraq’s military potential.  The offensive, of course, did not achieve one hundred percent perfection, but it carried out its goals in a manner sure to make any future aggressor state hesitate to call such destruction down upon itself.

This is a narrative drawn from the era of the Southeast Asian conflict, detailing a unique event in that lengthy struggle. The event was called LINEBACKER ll, a nickname like thousands of others, used to identify an operation, project, or mission associated with military affairs. It differed from others, however, in its execution and outcome; that it stands alone.. For the first time in contemporary warfare, heavy jet bombers were employed in their designed role to conduct strategic operations against the warmaking capacity of a hostile nation. This is the story of the Strategic Air Command's participation in LINEBACKER II. It addresses the efforts of a complex mixture of Air Force and sister operations, with all the services working in common toward a specific goal.
Herein is described the impact of LINEBACKER ll on those in command, plus those in operations, maintenance and support who undergirded the effort, and the crewmembers.

Linebacker II: A View From the Rock

Survival Training Edition Af Manual 64 3

Dep Of The Air Force

Excerpt: In 2002 Pres. George W. Bush proclaimed that the twenty-first century would be the “Asia-Pacific Century.” While I am not sure he was the first person to use that phrase—and it has been often used by others over the past 10 years—for those of us who study the region and/or have more than a casual familiarity with the region, the proclamation rings true. In a November 2011 article in Foreign Policy magazine, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went so far as to say, “The future of politics will be decided in Asia, not Afghanistan or Iraq, and the United States will be right at the center of the action.” These are powerful words, underscoring the fact that Asia matters, and it matters a great deal. For those who are interested in national security affairs, the question is not whether Asia matters but what our country should do about the fact that Asia matters. How should we posture ourselves to best advance our national interests in a region that will have so much to do with our future security and prosperity?Certainly, there will be much study and many well-considered judgments concerning these important questions, and most of this work will contribute to advancing our collective ability to successfully confront the scores of challenges that lie ahead. In this regard, I was pleased to learn that the Air Force Research Institute was undertaking a year-long study of the Air Force strategy in the Asia-Pacific region. While it is clear that all instruments of national power will play critical roles in our national strategy for the region, the military instrument will underpin all of our efforts in the region. The US Air Force will play an especially key role, with its ability to rapidly span the vast distances in the Pacific while engaging our allies, partners, and friends in the region through forward presence and exercises.
