Shoulder to Shoulder: The Marine Corps and Air Force in Combat

摘要

In the spring of 2009, the U.S. Air Force will host the next Marine Corps-Air Force Warfighter Talks, the third in an annual series of high level discussions between the two Services. Last year, 31 general officers of three- and four-star rank, including commanders serving in the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) area of responsibility (AOR), attended the 2-day session held in Washington, DC. These talks provided a forum for senior leaders of the Marine Corps and Air Force to meet face to face to discuss and resolve key inter- Service warfighting issues, many of which impact the ability to think and fight as a joint team.
