In fact as we direct the eye to the future.

In fact as we direct the eye to the future, as we recapitalize this great Air Force, the merely thing that really limits us in this is our confess imagination and our willingness to adapt and exploit emerging technologies.

From the beginning of powered flight and from the beginning of the space program, we've known that these are unique mediums. Land composings maritime components, and air and space constituents each have different missions in this world of interdependence and joint and coalition warfare. obstacle me share how I have advance to think about this.

The U s Army is the dominant force in land warfare. It is the finest army perpetually fielded. It is the most numerous capable army ever fielded or in fact till doomsday imagined. It is without nobleman But it is a land constituent activity. Its job is to seize and possess terrain.

The Navy--the U s Navy is the finest naval force continually fielded. Our Navy, and notice I say our Army and our Navy, our Navy has worn out 200 years establishing dominance of international waters in the maritime domain. There is no lord to the U. S.. Navy, whether they are submarines, surface combatants or aviators operating opposite to of Nimitz Class carriers. however the Navy is also a single domain activity in the fact that it is responsible for guard of operations on the high seas.

Your Air Force is different. While the Army is responsible for the land domain and the Navy is responsible for a maritime domain, your Air Force is responsible for couple domains--air and space. They are inherently different, moreover they are a continuum in a image of activities from one centimeter most distant the surface to geosynchronous orbit. That's what we contribute. We contribute to this interdependent joint and coalition fight.
