Synopsis
This study examines the military's decision-making process by reviewing actual scenarios, focusing on control. It scrutinizes not the way people make decisions as much as the interaction of the many such decisions determined in different parts of the system that employs airpower in combat, how policy is turned into military actions that achieve desirable political goals, and whether these factors have changed during the information age. The ultimate question is, what has been the impact of the information age on the US Air Force's doctrinal tenet of "centralized control and decentralized execution"?
