This theses investigates the question: How Can Tactical Air Forces (TAF) Best Support The Operational Commander In His Maneuver Of Large Ground Forces. It defines the framework and activities of the operational level of war as a self-contained and synergistic system. Within that system, the conduct of air and land operations using maneuver theory is examined. Various operational offensive maneuvers (penetration, envelopment and frontal attacks) and defensive situations (retrograde operations, attack into a salient, and break out from the encirclement) have been laid out. By comparing these situations against the various stages of air superiority, the theses analyzes the spectrum of airpower options in those scenarios. Keywords: Tactical air power, Operational level of war, Maneuver theory, Attrition theory, Stalingrad, Center-of-gravity, Operational commander, Counter air, Air interdiction, Battlefield air interdiction, Close air support, Tactical air forces, Tactical air support, Theses.
