The United States Air Force (USAF) has embarked on a large effort to change its strategic capabilities. Global political and defense budgetary changes have radically altered USAF requirements and capabilities. In the past decade, the Pentagon eliminated more than 30 of the 50 bases the USAF operated overseas and over one-third of its personnel. At the same time, a fourfold mcrease in "temporary" deployments to hot spots and in support of humanitarian emergencies has taxed the capabilities of the USAF. To help alleviate the effect on resources and deal with the increase in missions, the USAF is implementing the
