Promoting International Relations
Preserving Peace
When disaster strikes in whatever form - famine, flood or earthquake - speed of response is vital to save lives.
Military transport aircraft can deliver rapid relief in the early stages of any natural disaster even intorough fields or by airdrop.

Providing Reassurance
Air power can also be used to avert a possiblethreat to peace.
It can provide surveillance and reconnaissance to reassure nations that potential aggressors are not about to attack.
Furthermore, air power can be used to monitor arms control agreements and peace treaties.

Managing International CrisisWarning
Air power can be used to give prior warning of an intended act of aggression and so allow preparations to take place that may prevent it.Aircraft like the E3D Sentry, Sentinal and Rivetjointcan be used to detect these acts.

Managing International CrisisSignalling
Air power can be used to give clear political signals toother nations about your intentions.
By increasing alert states and intensifying peacetime training missions, a nation can clearly indicate its willingness to fight.

Supporting Friends
Air power can provide prompt and long rangephysical support to friends and allies.

Managing International CrisisInternational Rescue
Air power gives the ability to mount rescue operations in crisis situations.
Such operations however, tend to involve high risk and demand the most careful planning.

Managing International CrisisInject Stability
Air power can be used to place land forces into regions threatened with civil disorder, or into areas of local military conflict.

Managing International CrisisDeterrence
With the deployment of air power to areas of high tension, a potential aggressor may well be deterred from further action.

Managing International Crisis
Punishment
If necessary, air power can be used for precise punishment operations, short of all-out war.

Wartime ApplicationsSurveillance
In war, observation of the enemy is essential for the planning and successful execution of military operations.
To discover an enemy’s intentions means that effective counter measures can be taken to minimise risk and save lives.

Wartime ApplicationsDestruction
Air power’s most obvious wartime application is to destroy.The ability to concentrate massive firepower gives air power enormous potential for destruction.
![Page 14: Application of Air power. Promoting International Relations Preserving Peace When disaster strikes in whatever form - famine, flood or earthquake - speed.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e845503460f94b855fa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Wartime ApplicationsControl By Force
Any state which faces an opponent with strong air power has to accept the fact that they are vulnerable to attack at any moment, and that any conflict can escalate into war very rapidly.
Limited, but effective use of air power may be sufficient to force countries into negotiations to reach a settlement.
Denial
Air power can also be used to deny an enemy the ability to use its own air, land and sea power effectively.

Wartime ApplicationsDiversion And Delay
By concentrating air attacks on sensitive targets,an enemy may be forced into using precious resources in defensive duties, instead of having these resources for use in offensive operations.
Air attacks can also be used to slow down an enemy’s advance, so that extra time can be given to organise defences.

Wartime Applications
Demoralisation
Air attacks have always had a particularly sappingeffect on morale, almost irrespective of the damage done.
In a similar way, delaying an enemy’s retreat could give attacking forces more time to press home the attack and prevent the enemy’s escape.
