Thinkers from Giulio Douhet to John Warden have typically addressed the kinetic application of airpower during a major contingency operation. Less well developed is the concept of theater air component campaign planning, similar to the campaign planning discussed in Joint Publication 5-0, Joint Operation Planning. Although absent from (AFDD) 2, a theaterwide campaign planning methodology would prove well suited for the air component of a combatant command, based on the concept of the joint force air component commander (JFACC). As military forces spend more time performing a diverse range of activities beyond traditional warfare, it becomes increasingly important to develop a construct for air component campaign planning that spans the continuum of military operations and integrates cross-domain air, space, and cyberspace capabilities to meet the joint force commander's (JFC) objectives. As General Hansell observed, a campaign plan concentrates on the effects generated--through actions such as deterring adversaries, assuring allies, and preparing for kinetic operations--rather than on the intensity of operations. Ideally, future Air Force doctrine will reflect the increased scope and focus of air component campaign planning.
