	Welcome to Mexican Expeditionary Air Force 201st Fighter Squadron
		It was the Mexican Expeditionary Air Force with the 201st Squadron; a small unit representing the Mexican military.
		The Allied ground forces were in pursuit of the Japanese troops, but they were still a formidable force that continued fighting until the surrender of Japan.
		The Support Air Party (SAP) concept in use for Allied forces in the SWPA was a refined aspect of the Air-Ground operations.

	Normandy: A Modern Air Campaign?
		The air war for western France, long ago though it was, adds perspective to modern issues of command and control, underscores current stress on air and space operations centers (AOC), implies the transcendent characteristics of the simultaneity of airpower and effects-based operations, and offers a shining example of expeditionary air operations.
		Following the invasion, there was the massive effort to move two numbered air forces to the far shore; from their improvised expeditionary airfields came important developments in the air war, such as armed reconnaissance and armored-column cover.
		If coalition forces are part of an operation, a JFC might become a combined force commander; similarly, the JFACC might become the combined force air and space component commander, and the joint air and space operations center the combined air and space operations center.

	Expeditionary Air Warriors
		AEF rotations made it easy for the Air Force to identify and task units for missions overseas; all USAF had to do was reach forward and deploy units from AEFs later in the calendar.
		Force protection requirements unexpectedly skyrocketed after 9/11, and the Air Force had to enlist the help of nearly 9,000 Army National Guardsmen to help protect USAF installations.
		The Air Force also hopes that new technologies can be used to assist with security missions such as perimeter defense, which would reduce the demand for security forces in future years.

	Operation Overloard: The invasion of Fortress Europe
		The Allied planning was extremely detailed and accurate and the final plan was the culmination of years of organized and effective planning.
		Air Chief Marshal Tedder was the Deputy Supreme Commander under Eisenhower and Adm. Ramsay commanded the Allied Naval Expeditionary Force (ANXF) while Air Vice Marshall Leigh-Mallory commanded the Allied Expeditionary Air Force (AEAF).
		The Allies claimed that it was an experiment to be learned from, but the Canadians wanted revenge, feeling that the only thing learned was never to assault a heavily defended port head-on without air or naval support, even if you outnumber the attacker, and they got it at Juno.

	Dwight David Eisenhower: General during World War II

	F-15 Avionics Intermediate Maintenance Options for Expeditionary Air Force Support
		Also adversely affected are the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) goals of increasing response speed, reducing strain on personnel, and diminishing the deployment footprint, or the amount of materiel that must deploy with a force.
		Normally, Air Force policy would require that these deployments include the AIS, but since all of the units were supported from the Lakenheath FSL, no support equipment had to move.
		Assuming that the Air Force and joint community develop "reliable" plans for wartime theater distribution, we recommend the adoption of a consolidated network of regional repair locations to reduce deployment burdens and enhance flexibility should the Air Force continue to use the current testers.

	The bombing of Dresden by the British Royal Air Force (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The intention to use the strategic bomber forces in a tactical air-support role was similar to that for which Eisenhower had employed them before the Normandy invasion in 1944.
		The documents written by the RAF Air Staff state that it was their intention to use RAF bomber command to "destroy communications" to hinder the eastwards deployment of German troops and to hamper evacuation, not to kill the evacuees.
		He also argues that previous bombing attacks, rather than providing a defense, show that the Allied forces knew the destructive potential of incendiary bombs, and knew that because of the collapse of German air defense and improvements in bombing precision, that future attacks were likely to cause more and more civilian deaths.

	D-Day: Operation Overlord - Features on thehistorychannel.co.uk
		Since the whole invasion force could not land simultaneously, the landings had to take place on as broad a front as possible â“ otherwise allied forces would be overwhelmed before they could bring in adequate reinforcements.
		The airborne forces on D-Day were designed to carry out two vital tasks â“ secure the flanks of the landing zones and attack key strategic targets in order to facilitate the amphibious landings.
		The US airborne forces comprised of two divisions â“ the 82nd and the 101st airborne divisions â“ and were tasked with securing the right flank of the landings in the Cotentin peninsula.
