Reality is Stranger than Fiction
• I remember one conversa-on in par-cular with my Senior INTELLO, during which he remarked upon the fact that no scriptwriter could have dreamed up the level of complexity and daily ‘excitement’ in which we found ourselves.
Air Task Group Success • Complex made to appear simple • Valued from the start
– Strike – AEW&C – AAR
• Sustained success
Why is the ATG Successful?
• Professional Mastery of Air Power
Professional Mastery of Air Power • ‘An overarching and cri-cal factor in the genera-on and
applica-on of air power is the professional mastery of its prac--oners, which will determine the success or otherwise of all air opera-ons. Air opera-ons must be carefully tailored and integrated into the joint campaign, which in turn should be guided by na-onal security strategy. This can only be achieved by an air force with sufficient professionalism and resident skills that enable it to adapt rapidly to emerging and dynamic situa-ons.’ Dr Sanu Kainikara
