The Air Force in the urban fight
Article Abstract:
The Air Force needs to be adaptable to growing urbanization as it is the supporting force for urban operations, and the provider of strategic attack against critical urban targets and the presence over unpatrolled urban areas. The crucial difference in urban environments is the presence of a large number of noncombatants and their properties and hence, force application and discrimination of targets is one of many obstacles that air and space power must contend with.
