Young Homeless People takes a broad approach to the distressing phenomenon of youth homelessness. While politicians, researchers and the media focus on the more visibly homeless - those sleeping rough in city centres or staying in hostels - this book also considers the young homeless hidden in local communities. It places young people's experiences of homelessness in the context of their biographies as a whole and makes policy and practice recommendations based on the views and preferences of young homeless people themselves.

This study examines various expeditionary airfield operations in an attempt to discern those problems that have consistently plagued operations of this nature; with an eye toward how can we accomplish this task more effectively in the future. For the purposes of this study, expeditionary airfield operations are defined as: any rapidly unfolding situation which requires US air assets to hastily initiate sustained, high-tempo air operations at an airfield where this had not been the case. The historical analysis scrutinizes two different case studies from each of the following eras: World War II, the Cold War, and the post-Cold War. Each case study employs a similar heuristic; namely I evaluate each case study based upon the efficacy of its site survey, the effectiveness of initial air operations, and the success of follow-on forces. Ultimately, it is my intent to first identify these problems, and then develop techniques to mitigate them in the future in an effort to improve expeditionary airfield operations.
