| Summary: | In the past century, multinational military operations have become the norm, but while contributions from different nations provide many benefits, from expanded capability to political credibility, they also present a number of challenges. Issues such as command and control, communications, equipment standardization, intelligence, logistics, planning, tactics and training all require consideration. Cultural factors present challenges as well, particularly when language barriers are involved. In Allies in Air Power, experts from around the world survey these operations from the birth of aviation to the present day. Chapters cover conflicts including World War I, multiple theaters of World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, Kosovo, the Iraq War and various United Nations peacekeeping missions. Contributors also analyze the role of organizations such as the UN, NATO and so-called "coalitions of the willing" in laying the groundwork for multinational air operations. |
