USAF par rescue and combat controllers routinely recover downed or
injured military personnel and direct military aircraft in hostile
or denied regions. Consequently, to be effective in these careers
requires the ability to cope with severe stress. The USAF uses many
strategies to ensure that battlefield airmen perform well under
stress but one strategy, termed stress inoculation training, has
not been fully incorporated as a training element.
Air liaison officers (ALOs) play an important interservice role as
U.S. Air Force officers collocated with U.S. Army units. This
investigation of the feasibility of an ALO career field explores an
array of research on the subject, turning to historical initiatives
and instructions going back nearly a century, published literature,
and interviews with ALOs, commanders, and tactical air control
party personnel.Air liaison officers (ALOs) are U.S. Air Force
officers who provide close air support to U.S. Army units. This
investigation of the feasibility of an ALO career field relies on
historical sources, interviews, and a personnel flow analysis.
Air Force members who do not routinely cross a defended perimeter
when deployed may not have received sufficient training for doing
so when they need to. The authors conducted surveys and interviews
to determine the kinds of experiences airmen have had "outside the
wire," worked with subject-matter experts to categorize them and
suggest training levels, and developed a series of recommendations
for course content and further areas for study.
