As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
A most interesting evolution has taken place in the United States Air Force, and it is something so new, that it is as old as World War II. It captured my attention as the Pentagon has re activated the 15th Air Force. That is not some bug a boo alarm, but it is what the 15th was born from long ago and how this is all being sorted out which only those in military planning would comprehend what has taken place.
This is about the United States going to war, a real theater war leading up to world war, in unleashing the type of strategic and tactical bombing which obliterates the target hosts.
Air Force To Train ‘Lead Wings’ For Major Wars; First Test Next Month
Why is Franks leading the way? His 15th Air Force oversees training, organization, and equipment for Air Combat Command’s fighters and other tactical, non-nuclear forces, which had been split somewhat arbitrarily between 9th Air Force, which focused on supporting CENTCOM, and 12th Air Force, which also ran operations over Latin America. (9th and 12 Air Force still exist as headquarters, but both are now focused purely on theater operations, not training). That gives Franks command of more than 600 aircraft and 46,000 personnel (both military and civilian) organized in 13 wings.
In the above, you have read, and have not comprehended what you read. You have told that the 9th supports Centcom which you have heard of, and the 12th which covers Latin America, but the history of this dates back to General Norman Schwartzkopf in being stationed with the Navy in Hawaii, and how the Middle East was the poor orphan child in which Europe and the Pacific were supposed to deal with.
When the Gulf War was being led up to, CENTCOM was quite new, it was an entire military organizational force, centered on the Mideast. The Mideast was no longer the tarbaby, but became a bonafied theater of war.
Re think what you have read now, in the 9th Air Force supports Centcom and the 15th supports Latin America, and now Major General Chad Franks is in command of the re activated 15th, which Birther Hussein Obama deactivated.
This poor orphan girl desires you to think, because the 15th is stationed inside the United States, and is being trained and coordinated as a massive air unit, interworking with other squadrons as a cohesive unit, for deployment, but it does not have a theater, because the 15th is training to destroy Russia, China, Iran. The tactical dial a nukes to the laser systems are going into this wing for massive destructive firepower.
I mentioned that I had been reading the memoirs of General James Doolittle. For all realities, Jimmy Doolittle was appointed to something the war department had theorized about in strategic bombing. The English had given up on it and resorted to night flights to slaughter civilians in Germany. The 8th Air Force had been bloodied out of England with Ira Eaker as he did not have long range fighter cover.
It was in Africa though that James Doolittle in the 12th Air Force, began operations as the General learned by flying with the crews, how to destroy the enemy on land from the air. As the war progressed into the Mediterranean and Romanian oil fields, James Doolittle was appointed again in command of the new 15th Air Force which was ordered to accomplish strategic bombing, and as the 8th struggled in England, Doolittle's 12th was smashing Italy and Germany from the south.
15th AF resulted from a reorganization of Doolittle's Twelfth Air Force into the 15th with Doolittle in command, and the Ninth Air Force (9th AF) with Lewis H. Brereton in command. The new air force was activated with a strength of ninety B-24 Liberators and 210 B-17 Flying Fortresses, inherited from the Twelfth Air Force and Ninth Air Force. In December, new groups, most of which were equipped with B-24s soon started arriving from the United States. 13 new groups were added.
It was hoped that the 15th AF – stationed in the Mediterranean – would be able to operate when the Eighth Air Force (8th AF) in England was socked in by bad English weather.
Doolittle's 15th was so successful in wiping out the Italians and Germans in the south of Europe, that he was appointed to head the 8th Army Air Corp for the final years of the war. The heavy bombers and close fighter bomber support of ground troops, broke the Wehrmacht's back.
What the 15th Air Force is assembling is the Doolittle coordination of resources for an unrelenting and massive blow in surgical strikes to shatter the ability of a nation to make war. You must comprehend this. This is not SAC, Strategic Air Command in long range bombers, or nuclear delivered salvos or kinetic energy weapons from space, the 15th is designed for strategic bombing of an entire nation, as a theater of war. This is a battlefield wing meant to obliterate an enemy's ability to project power and to crumble them from within.
The Navy and Marines are in their Aqua Asia war structure. The 15th is designed to kill a land army and all associated with it. President Donald Trump and SecDef Esper did not bring this wing back to sit there. This organism is going to go out and fight a world war and that war may include slaughtering Chinese invaders in Alaska, Russian invaders in Europe from bases in Africa, or gutting China from bases in India.

War is coming my children and my brats.
I could see omens of the war’s end almost every day in the blue southern sky when, flying provocatively low, the bombers of the American Fifteenth Air Force crossed the Alps from their Italian bases to attack German Industrial targets.
