The proposal to create a long range strategic conventional bomber force adds a new dimension to airpower employment in NATO. The heavy bomber has a range and payload capability which permits holding distant high value enemy targets at risk. The study examines reasons why this new bomber force should be employed outside the current air attack philosophy and finds that such use would increase deterrence and contribute to successful warfighting should deterrence fail. In addition, the analysis identifies critical target systems within the USSR and considers force employment requirements for a strategic offensive air campaign.

Since World War II, the role of the long-range bomber in the nuclear triad has shaped the aircraft's development. Although strategic deterrence remains its paramount mission, the bomber's other missions are increasing in number and importance. With new weapons available, and with increased requirements for conventional forces in general, the role of the long-range bomber deserves thoughtful study. Focusing on a nonnuclear role, the author argues that new, additional long-range bomber technologies, tactics, and plans must be developed. He examines strategic thought about the use of long-range bombers since 1945, and then addresses the bomber's capacity for various maritime and force projection missions. Even while calling for the actions needed to prepare bombers for these conventional uses, he fears that the required changes may go by the wayside, victim again to the demands of the nuclear role.

This study seeks to determine under what conditions an operational commander might employ strategic airpower in his campaign design. This journey begins first by exploring the linkage between strategy, operations, and tactics. Next, U.S. Army and Air Force doctrines are compared for terminology and conceptual similarities, with particular emphasis on indivisible airpower and long-range bombers in the role of operational fires. Finally, four historical case studies - Operations Overlord, Cobra, Niagara (Khe Sanh), and Desert Storm - are analyzed for conditions in which previous commanders have used barbers to facilitate operational maneuver or set battlefield conditions favorable for campaign success. After a careful review of concepts, doctrine, and history, this monograph concludes with six conditions which have fostered integrating bombers into campaign design. These include: 1) A commanders awareness of bomber strengths and weaknesses; 2) A blending of surprise and overwhelming firepower within minimum time and space; 3) Little reaction or response time; 4) Economy of force conditions; 5) Numerical superiority favors the enemy; and 6) bomber impunity to enemy threat. Consequently, this monograph concludes that educating both current and future military leaders is a key element of integrating bombers into campaign design. The most fertile ground for planting this seed of knowledge rests within senior and intermediate service schools, only to be nourished to full growth during joint training exercises. Furthermore, as the U.S. military force structure continues to shrink, and our national military strategy shifts from forward deployed to a forward presence, the challenge of being able to respond in a timely manner with sufficient firepower to deter a potential adversary is certain to increase. Such a future clearly suggests a greater role for the barber.

The purpose of this report is to gain insight from analysis of past campaigns of the military utility of conventionally armed heavy bombers and the practical realities of bomber operations. This study examines the employment of long-range bombers in alternative roles as illustrated in five historical campaigns: two associated with World War II, one with the Korean conflict, and two with the Vietnam War. To bring the analysis into current-day focus, the role of the B-52 in the Operation Desert Storm air campaign is briefly assessed. Finally, extensive operational details such a Linebacker II route maps are included in the appendices. This study should be of use to military and civilian defense planners interested in long-range bombers, strategic modernization, arms control, cruise missiles, conventional power projection, air defense penetration, stealth technology, and advanced conventional munitions effectiveness.

Flying Blind offers an astute analysis of the role of organizational forces in initiating and shaping weapons programs. Michael E. Brown concerns himself with how weapons programs begin and why they turn out as they do. In the process he redresses a large imbalance in our understanding of how nations arm themselves. In an unmatched account constructed from massive archival work and material declassified through the Freedom of Information Act, the author provides a detailed description of all fifteen postwar U.S. strategic bomber programs, from the B-35 to the B-2. Challenging the conventional wisdom about arms races and the weapons acquisition process, Brown marshals compelling evidence that Air Force reactions to strategic developments, not technological opportunism or industry initiative, brought about many major innovations in those programs. He also discusses competing explanations of the cost, schedule, and performance problems that plague U.S. acquisition efforts. He maintains that powerful strategic and bureaucratic forces lead American military organizations to set their performance requirements far beyond the state of the art and to push their programs as fast as possible. This, he argues, is a recipe for disaster. Developing a comprehensive explanation of the cost and performance problems that plague modern weapons programs, he presents policy recommendations designed to address these issues.

"The Air Force's long-range bombers were designed during the Cold War to deliver nuclear strikes against the Soviet Union. Although they can be vulnerable to enemy defenses if detected, they combine the ability to fly extended distances, much farther than most other combat aircraft, with the ability to carry weapons payloads many times larger than that of fighters. Over the past decade, the Air Force has taken advantage of these characteristics by migrating its bomber fleet from a nuclear to a conventional role. Today, the Air Force maintains three bombers: the B-1B, the B-2, and the B-52, and each has been outfitted with a variety of precision and "dumb" weapons for conventional strikes. In recent conflicts in Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003), bombers have played prominent roles." p. 2.

"Heavy bombers have proven themselves as highly capable weapon systems since their introduction to the USAF in World War II. Rather than analyzing the different capabilities each iteration of bomber possessed over time, this study focuses on the functional characteristics long-range strike aircraft have contributed toward affecting their respective strategic environments. This study offers historical analyses of the B-17, B-52, and B-2 because these aircraft span the gamut of USAF long-range strike airpower. The B-17 became the first truly "strategic" bomber that enabled crews to attack targets at ranges inaccessible before its conception. The B-52 proved itself as the mainstay of nuclear delivery platforms during the Cold War and still fulfills conventional and nuclear roles today. Finally, B-2 designers produced a radically different platform based on survivability and stealth, capable of delivering multiple types of precision weapons against highly defended targets."--Abstract.
