Air Force - role in JADO

The LeMay Center for Doctrine released a service doctrine note on USAF Role in Joint All-Domain Operations click the image to see what's inside!

"Multi-domain operations as a concept proposes that the joint force can achieve competitive advantage over a near-peer adversary by presenting multiple complementary threats that each require a response, thereby exposing adversary vulnerabilities to other threats. It is the artful combination of these multiple dilemmas, rather than a clear overmatch in terms of any particular capability, that produces the desired advantage."
