There s a sense in Congress that rotes and missions is not something you decide once in 1948 for example and that Deci Sion prevails for All the changes that occur Over time said maj. Gen. Charles d. Link adding that the air Force is defense Secretary William Perry s special assistant to the Secretary s roles and missions commission. The commission was assigned to draft a military services roles and missions re port the air Force Hopes to Lay out As Clear a Case As we can to distribute roles and missions among the military services in a world changed by technology and other issues. Link emphasized he does not favor the idea of a single military service saying that it would Hurt Overall defense. I think we would reduce the number of True specialists who have really plumbed the depth. Of the mediums of warfare to full fruit link said. I Dort t think we want to do outgoing air Force chief of staff Gen. Merrill a. Tony Mcpeak tried to balance the most effective deployment link of the nation s Mili tary capabilities and the views of the american taxpayer in formulating his proposals link said. Most of the contentious issues Are probably Between the air Force and the army said Theair Force two Star general adding that the air Force does t covet any ground related or sea related missions. Everything that flies should not be air Force he emphasized. We Don t make any sort of claim like that and careful analysis would reveal that s not a useful Way to think about close air Sif port has been a source of Contention Between the air Force and army Over the years. It has a lot to do with the different perspectives airmen and soldiers have in re Gard to combat. Talking close air support link said we really Don t want to take anything away from the land Battle commander we want to make him a full service com with advances in army aviation we re not sure we can compete with what the army has on the Field right now. Some very impressive capabilities. We ought to permit the land Force com Mander to employ whatever technology might produce that is useful in land Bat naval aviation bears some very similar capabilities with the air forces but they re complementary rather than competitive link said. The solution he said is a balance of Carrier based and land based air forces. While other services air forces specialized in support of land or sea missions he said Only the . Air Force oper ates. To exploit and control air and link said the number of agencies envisioning their own space operations contributed to overlaps and repetitions. Satellites have been launched that might have served multiple missions yet did not he general blamed such problems on a Lack of a Central single purpose Agency. We re probably spending too much of the taxpayers he added space is not a different place.

But army officers scoff at the gesture Given the other functions Mcpeak has suggested be controlled by the air Force. Although the Point of the discussion about roles and missions is to eliminate needless redundancies the other services accuse Mcpeak of refusing to be a team player and thinking Only of what the air Force has to gain by limiting what the escapes from Page 1 other services do. It s ironic that at a time in which the Pentagon s emphasis has been on joint military operations the air Force s answer is to try to put up Walls Between it self and the others said maj. Gen. Thomas l. Wilkerson the Marine corps senior planner. Warfare is Muddy it Ain t neat. You have to build a fairly adaptable Force. What Gen. Mcpeak is proposing however is a very inflexible dogmatic arrangement whose primary virtue would be to allow the air Force Todo what it does Best thrown of the defensive by Mcpeak aggressive stance the other services have weighed in with their own proposals which not surprisingly amount largely to lengthy arguments for preserving what they be been doing and perhaps even adding a few assignments. Mcpeak who during his four years As air Force chief has been an outspoken critic of the status quo defended his pos Turing As necessary to stimulate new thinking Yvo my standing among my colleagues on this probably is not very Good the Gen eral recently told defense reporters.
