	A US Air Force Role in Counterinsurgency Support (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The prevalent attitude among Air Force leaders and planners seems to be that preparations for and successful deterrence of World War III mean we will have no trouble "stepping down" to combat at the low end of the spectrum.
		Reflecting the increasingly conventional response of the Air Force to hostilities and the spiralling numbers of US troops committed to the war, by late 1966 the air commandos were flying mostly in support of our own activities.
		Modeled on the Special Air Warfare Center of the 1960s, this fifth wing would be dedicated to training and educating third world air forces in COIN air power employment, as well as to developing and testing the doctrine, tactics, and techniques necessary for COIN operations.

	HyperWar: The Army Air Forces in WWII: Vol. I--Plans & Early Operations [Chapter 17]
		The organizational scheme of the American air force in Britain, long a matter of dispute between Washington and General Chaney's headquarters, was not crystallized until after the arrival and establishment of Eighth Air Force headquarters in June.
		The need for close co-ordination between the VIII Air Force Service Command and its parent organization was thus recognized in their close physical proximity; the same need would result in 1944 in the integration of the two headquarters into a single operational and logistical organization.
		It had been proposed in June that one mobile air depot should be established for every three operational airdromes, and early in July, General Spaatz, on the basis of the currently anticipated flow of combat units, was thinking in terms of twenty mobile depots for the entire air force.

	AIR FORCE DOCTRINE PROBLEMS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Zuckert conceived the idea that Air Force doctrine must be written to support national policy and strategy, a different concept from a purely aerospace power doctrine based on airpower theory, rooted in operational experience, and reflective of the capabilities and limitations of aerospace forces in peace and in war.
		Thus, at the end of the seventies, the Air Force was essentially using an AFM 1-1 that was at least partly faulty in conception, and one from which operational doctrine had not been developed beyond a single major command manual, not binding in any sense on the whole of the service.
		However, the Air Staff, in a fit of distemper, started a revision of the 1984 manual at the same time that Air University's Center for Aerospace Doctrine, Research, and Education (CADRE) was undertaking this monumental new writing effort, at the direction of the chief, to produce a fundamentally different type of basic doctrine manual.

		This location left the Third Air Force commander 100 miles away from the rest of his staff.
