Joint Forces Command released an unclassified version of a two-year-in-the-making report of Operation Iraqi Freedom from the viewpoint of Saddam Hussein and his military leaders. It’s the first report of its kind, said JFCOM officials, since World War II. A JFCOM team dug through the decision-making process by conducting interviews, examining orders, looking at maps and studying strategy to come up with the Iraqi Perspective Project report.
As Air Force leaders consider concepts of operations for Collaborative Combat Aircraft, sustainment in the field—and easing that support by using standard parts and limiting variants—should be a key consideration, according to a new study from AFA's Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies.
