history. Even the advancements brought about by the introduction the airplane prior to World War I, the atomic bomb and World War II, and all the weapons of mass
destruction since will still pale in light of the potential offered by the future. Between the ever-increasing degree of technological advancement taking place throughout the world and the process
of globalization of nations, it is only sensible to anticipate an entirely new mindset regarding national defense, security options, and the possible disasters inherent in the so-called "rogue states" gaining
access to materials and technology that can bring them to a capability level equal to that of the nations once referred to as the "super-powers." This paper
will show that the most logical model for strategic planning in terms of warfare in the next ten to twenty years will be based on the United States Air Forces
already existing model of "expeditionary aerospace force" or EAF theory. Because the agreed-upon goal of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been "interoperability" and "full spectrum dominance," the EAF plan
that moves forces and interacts with components in non-governmental, military, and other operating partners serves as the best way to support deployments and conduct even the most basic of operations.
It also presents a valuable model for the most effective aspects of integration at all levels of a combined operation. Background and Challenge -- "Full Spectrum Dominance" "Full-spectrum
dominance" is explained by Chaisson (2000) as essentially meaning that the military forces of the United States: "operating alone or with allies, must be able to defeat any adversary and
control any situation across the range of military operations. This calls for leaders and planners to invest in and develop new military capabilities. The capabilities at the heart of full-spectrum
