Distributed Operations in a Contested Environment - Implications for USAF Force Presentation

Due to increasing air and missile threats to air bases, the Air Force is developing concepts to operate from several small operating locations in a conflict with a near-peer competitor. The authors identify capabilities the Air Force needs to carry out distributed operations in a contested environment. They then assess whether the current force presentation model can provide these capabilities and compare it with alternative models.
