Next steps in information warfare

Article Abstract:

The US Armed Forces especially its Air Force will likely harness information technology to enhance its ability to gather, process, collate, analyze and apply massive amounts of data in near-real time. However, the increasing reliance on unregulated information flows also poses one of the greatest threats to the national economy and national security. This threat will grow as the power to manipulate information technology (IT) becomes readily available to anyone. Thus the military must accelerate its adjustment to, and adoption of, IT, while developing information operations strtegies and information warfare programs.

Before the Flying Tigers

Article Abstract:

US pilots and aircraft were involved in a conflict between the Japanese and China in 1931 that was to officially become the Sino-Japanese War in 1937. Most of the pilots who fought for, or trained, the Chinese between 1931 through 1936 were US citizens, and their battles were to lay the groundwork for the massive air war over China, Southeast Asia, the Mariana Islands and Japan during World War Two. One squadron, the 14th Volunteer Bombardment Squadron, was formed by retired US Army Air Corp officer Claire Chennault, who subsequently formed the American Volunteer Group that was better known as the Flying Tigers.
