The Precision
and Persistence Revolutions
Highlighted by wretchard
Ironically, the Air
Force’s own recently published doctrine is not especially reflective of the precision
and persistence revolution as implemented in the field beginning in 2007. The drafting of
that doctrine began only when it became clear that FM 3-24, with its
“airpower-lite” views, would function not just as service doctrine for the Army
and Marine Corps, but also as the design for the entire operation in Iraq. By early spring
2007, the Air Force’s historical complacence regarding COIN abruptly ended as it
convened a COIN conference that “jump started” its own doctrine-development
