Air Power Channel

Air Force Air Power gives the ability to control and exploit this ultimate high ground that is essential to winning wars. No other Service, or combination of Services, can deliver the capability and capacity that the Air Force provides to the war fighter in our core mission areas. Air Power consists of the application of military aviation, military strategy and strategic theory to the realm of aerial warfare and close air support. The core attributes of air power, which are unique and contribute to a wide range of effects, are speed, reach and height. Speed enables air power to exploit time and control tempo. Unimpeded by terrain, airborne capabilities provide unrivalled reach that permits air power to employ its capabilities at distance, including deep into enemy territory, and isolated locations. Height enables exploitation from an unparalleled vantage point. Ubiquity, agility and concentration are additional qualities that are enabled or enhanced by the three main core attributes.
