The use of heavy bomber aircraft, specifically the B-52, in the Airland Battle provides commanders greater capabilities and flexibility. This study shows that B-52 use in the NATO region is consistent with the demands of operational art, Airland Battle, and basic aerospace doctrine. The study shows b-52 capabilities and explains a new employment option designed to capitalize on the unique abilities of the B-52 as opposed to more traditional fighter aircraft. Because the B-52 would be integrated into NATO operations, the question of operational control of the B-52 force is considered. The theater commander's, vice the Strategic Air Command's or the air component commander's, need for control is explored. Finally, other potential problems or employment concerns are brought up to show what is needed to bring B-52 use into NATO operations. Keywords: Military doctrine, Command and control systems. (kr)
