APJThe <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong>’s New Ground WarEnsuring Projection of <strong>Air</strong> and <strong>Space</strong> <strong>Power</strong> throughExpeditionary Security OperationsBRIG GEN ROBERT H. “BOB” HOLMES, USAFCOL BRADLEY D. SPACY, USAFLT COL JOHN M. BUSCH, USAFLT COL GREGORY J. REESE, USAFEditorial Abstract: The changing and increasingly dangerous global-security environment presents a considerablechallenge for air-base defense and demands a new base-defense mind-set. The authors describe newinitiatives in joint doctrine that empower deployed commanders to take increased control of base-securityzones for force protection. <strong>Air</strong>men can therefore expect to play a greater role in overall base defense, with expandedbase-security perimeters and a movement toward better coordination of air and ground forces.41
