"Strategic EAF Planning--Expeditionary Airpower, Part 2," by Robert S. Tripp, Lionel A. Galway, Timothy L. Ramey, Paul S. Killingsworth, John G. Drew, and C. Chris Fair presents an enhanced strategic Agile Combat Support (ACS) planning framework for the Expeditionary Aerospace Force. Jaimy S. Rand contributes "Transition to Jointness: An Analysis and Appraisal of Consolidating Service Acquisition Personnel into a Joint Acquisition Force." "Competitive Sourcing and Privatization--Contractors on the Battlefield: What Have We Signed Up For?," by Steven J. Zamparelli, looks at the increasing role of contractors and civilians in combat support and theater level operations and the risks involved in it. "The Logistics Constant Throughout the Ages," by Daniel McConnell, Richard A. Hardemon, and Larry C. Ransburgh examines the need for fodder to feed cavalry horses and pack animals throughout military history, including the campaigns of Alexander the Great, the American Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, and World War I. After World War I, petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL) took the place of fodder and they were of strategic importance during World War II. The author concludes that the past 50 years of technological advance have only optimized modes of transportation, not lessened the impact of fuel on strategy, tactics, and operations. The following submissions also are included in this issue: "International Armaments Cooperation and Theater Missile Defense: Why South Korea is Reluctant to Join the Club," by George A. Hutchinson and Craig M. Brandt; "Logistics and Airpower--A Failure in Doctrine?," by Peter Dye; "Collocating Air Force Weapon Systems Inventory with the Defense Logistics Agency Premium Service Facility," by Monte J. Murphy; and "Personnel Career Information: Needed--Agile Logisticians," by Nancy A. Stinson, Malcolm E. Blair, and Alex E. Dubovik.
