Open the Airbase Roadmap Open the Airbase Roadmap OPR: AMC/A3M MAF Capability Statement Provide the rapid response capability to initiate airbase opening globally across the full range of military operations and in all operating environments, regardless of follow-on mission or aircraft type. This capability seamlessly bridges the gap between seizure forces and follow-on forces, whether they are Air Force or other Service forces. Assessment Historically, the global projection and employment of US forces almost inevitably involves the establishment of bases within the area of operations. A number of these may formally develop into airbases or become hubs from which significant air operations occur in support of Joint combat missions. In these cases, securing, opening, and providing initial airfield and airbase operations is critical to follow-on operations. The Air Force has been opening airbases around the world for many years—all the way back to the “airheads” established by the Army Air Corps in the Burmese jungles during World War II. Airbase opening capabilities require a wide range of functional areas. Opening an airbase and establishing operations have historically been accomplished on an ad hoc basis by the forces that were going to use the airbase. In response, using the lessons learned from Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM, the Air and Space Expeditionary Task Force (AETF) force module concept preidentifies personnel assigned to respond during regional contingencies to open and establish airbases. Its objective is to quickly respond to any developing situation or contingency by rapidly deploying right-sized supporting forces and capabilities. These forces will consist of unit type codes (UTCs) specifically right-sized and sequenced for function and/or location. They comprise the building blocks to rapidly open and stand up an airbase to support sustained air operations. The six modules are outlined in the AETF Force Module Construct. The Open the Airbase Force Module initiates the Airbase Opening AETF as the first of the six force modules. Air Force Contingency Response Groups (CRGs) are the embodiment of the Open the Airbase Force Module capability and can be augmented by regular Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF) specialties, as required. CRGs rapidly deploy to seamlessly bridge the gap between seizure forces and follow-on Air Expeditionary Group/Air Expeditionary Wing (AEG)/(AEW) forces (or Service equivalents) that will establish and operate the airbase. AMC is the major command (MAJCOM) lead for developing “Open the Airbase” capabilities. These forces can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of each deployment. Initial mobility, force protection, intelligence, threat assessment, civil engineering, command and control, reachback, medical support, and airfield terminal control operations form the CRG’s core capability set. In addition, each CRG may maintain skill sets/UTCs that augment initial base-opening capability and/or fulfill MAJCOM-specific requirements. 48 OCT 07
