Excerpt
Preface: This study is conceptual. Originally, it was to focus on the specific air defense suppression problems that Pacific Command (PACOM) would face over the next few years with specific attention being paid to North Korea and the Far Eastern military district of the Soviet Union. In December 1991 the Soviet Union disappeared. It no longer makes sense to focus on the specifics of joint suppression of enemy air defenses (JSEAD) strategies and tactics in PACOM when the entire world has changed. It makes much more sense to establish a context where new relationships between strategy and tactics-and between the evolutionary trends in technology and the uncertain international environment-can be illustrated as a first step in reclaiming a rational grip on a radically changed world.
