Air Force plays a significant role in Air Force culture. This study
examines the Air Force's ability to apply the centralized control
approach to irregular warfare. The growing focus and literature on
the differences between traditional warfare and irregular warfare
challenge the US Air Force's adherence to centralized control. This
study asks "Is the Air Force's command and control structure able
to integrate airpower effectively into Irregular Warfare
operations?" This research question leads to a review of the
irregular warfare theory, organizational theory, and application of
these theories in the current context to determine the
effectiveness of centralized control in irregular warfare. The
study compares the requirements identified by theory against the
Air Force's command and control structure, the Theater Air Control
System. Subsequent chapters discuss the TACS performance in
contemporary IW environments. The discussion leads to limitations
of the TACS in irregular warfare and potential improvements.
The Luftwaffe's defeat of Allied airpower in the Kasserine Pass in
1943 imprinted the principle of mass upon the US Air Force's
organizational psyche. The then Army Air Corps recognized the
necessity of consolidating airpower under the command and control
of a single airman to mass airpower's effects. This belief in
centralized control of airpower became a central reason for the
creation of an independent Air Force in 1947. The linkage between
centralized control and the origin of the Air Force plays a
significant role in Air Force culture. This study examines the Air
Force's ability to apply the centralized control approach to
irregular warfare. The growing focus and literature on the
differences between traditional warfare and irregular warfare
challenge the US Air Force's adherence to centralized control. This
study asks, "Can the Air Force's current, traditional command and
control structure integrate airpower effectively into irregular
warfare (IW) operations?" This research question leads to a review
of the irregular warfare theory, organizational theory, and
application of these theories in the current context to determine
the effectiveness of centralized control in irregular warfare. The
study compares the requirements identified by theory against the
Air Force's command and control structure, the Theater Air Control
System (TACS). Subsequent chapters discuss the TACS performance in
contemporary IW environments. The discussion leads to limitations
of the TACS in irregular warfare and potential improvements.

The Conservative, Lord Randolph Churchill, and the Liberal, Joseph
Chamberlain, were prominent in Irish political affairs from the mid
1870s. Although on opposite sides of the House, they united in 1886
and again in 1893 to defeat the first and second Home Rule Bills.
While ostensibly dissimilar in background, politics, and
temperament, they were ultimately united in their common desire-to
prevent an Irish Parliament in Dublin. The two sons, Winston
Churchill and Austen Chamberlain, both entered Parliament with
inherited Unionist views. However, changing political circumstances
in Britain and Ireland led them to change their stance and adopt
policies that would have been anathema to their fathers. In this
thoroughly researched book, Ian Chambers weaves the rich history of
this important political period, and vividly details how the
actions of these four men influenced the course of British and
Irish politics. "This book makes a distinctive contribution to our
knowledge of British policy towards Ireland . There is originality
in exploring the extent to which the opinions of the fathers were
visited upon the sons, and there is abundant evidence of
scholarship. The author has usefully consulted an impressively wide
range of primary sources." - Professor Keith Jeffery (Ph.D.,
Cambridge University), University of Ulster at Jordanstown
