In August, the Air Force issued a new doctrinal publication, Irregular Warfare. Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley said in his foreword to the document that air power produces asymmetric advantages which could be used in virtually every aspect of irregular warfare and the Air Force must articulate those capabilities.
