Question 1 6.25 / 6.25 pts Which of the following statements best characterizes the NATO effort against Serbian surface to air missiles (SAMs) during Operation Allied Force? The military response __________ . must use “overwhelming force,” but the United States must be prepared to “fix” what is “broken” when major combat operations are over. must use “overwhelming force” to defeat the enemy. is measured to change the enemy’s behavior through coercion or defeat the enemy completely through compellence. must be measured, beginning with air and sea power, and if unsuccessful, then land power. This answer is correct. Question 2 6.25 / 6.25 pts Control of the air describes a level of influence in the air domain relative to that of an adversary, and is typically categorized as… Air Balance, Air Ascendancy, or Air Supremacy Air Balance, Air Superiority, or Air Dominance Air Parity, Air Superiority, or Air Supremacy Air Parity, Air Ascendency, or Air Dominance This answer is correct. Question 3 6.25 / 6.25 pts___________ generate force or persuasion; they are the primary abilities [that merit] a center of gravity to be identified as such in the context of a given scenario, situation, or mission. Critical Vulnerabilities Critical Requirements Critical Capabilities Critical Factors This answer is correct. Question 4 6.25 / 6.25 pts Which of the following statements best characterize the strategic attack effort at the outset of Operation Iraqi Freedom? Bridges of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers were struck to prevent the Republican Guard from moving forward. Bombers flying from the United States struck targets in support of the special forces/Kurdish effort in the North. Coalition aircraft targeted command and control and regime targets to weaken the Iraqi war effort. Iraqi mechanized units were heavily degraded from the air as they maneuvered to meet advancing coalition forces. This answer is correct. Question 5 6.25 / 6.25 pts Select the most urgent priority for Close Air Support (CAS).M1 Abrams main battle tanks spearheading an advance make contact with enemy mechanized infantry. An infantry company prepares to assault a compound held by three to five enemy insurgents. A Stryker (US lightly armored vehicle) scouting ahead of the main body makes contact with enemy tanks. Infantry holding in a prepared defensive position have reported enemy light armored vehicles in front of their position. This answer is correct. Question 6 6.25 / 6.25 pts The purpose of interdiction operations is to… operationally dislocate enemy maneuver units in turn so that they may be engaged and destroyed by the armored spearhead. degrade, dislocate, and degrade the enemy commander’s ability to command and control their fielded forces. divert, disrupt, delay and destroy, by either lethal or non-lethal means, in order to achieve objectives. distract the enemy commander and disguise the JFC’s primary objective and scheme of maneuver. This answer is correct. Question 7 6.25 / 6.25 pts Which of the following statements BEST characterizes the threat presented by the Taliban’s inventory of aircraft at the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom?The third generation fighters that made up the fleet posed no threat to American air or ground units. They were not a threat because the Taliban did not possess the skill required to pilot the aircraft. The MiG-21s posed a credible threat because they had previously scored airto-air kills on B-52s. The fleet of 50 aircraft could have been used in suicide attacks on American ground forces. This answer is correct. Question 8 6.25 / 6.25 pts Which of the following statements best characterizes a lesson learned from Operation ANACONDA? Close Air Support in mountainous terrain is dramatically less effective than at sea level. Modular design of operations showed great promise for the future by streamlining service interaction. Close Air Support is more effective if air planners are included in all phases of planning. Air support was insufficient given the extensive lead time given to the air component by 10th Mountain Division planners. This answer is correct. Question 9 6.25 / 6.25 pts In "Beyond the Horizon: Developing Future Airpower Strategy," Col Jeffery Smith proposed clarifications in the following three areas of airpower theory.Offsets, Recapitalization, and Virtual Battlespace Access, Speed, and Remote Piloting Offsets, Specialization, and Virtual Battlespace Access, Speed, and Strategic Strike This answer is correct. Question 10 6.25 / 6.25 pts Which of the following BEST characterize the Air Force contribution to Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF)? The focus of the Air Force bombing effort during the first two day of OIF were regime targets deep inside of Iraq. The Air Force concentrated on shaping the battle at an operational level, due to difficulty coordinating close air support. The Air Force was able to deliver effects at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels from the start of the operation. After a three-day struggle for air superiority the Air Force was able to service the majority of calls for close air support. This answer is correct. Incorrect Question 11 0 / 6.25 pts Which of the following best characterizes Air Force support to ground forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom? Ground forces never really found any cohesive unit of any brigade, of any Republican Guard Division.The ground forces rapidly outpaced the ability to keep up with requests for close air support. The Air Force instituted a complex system to clear fires that in effect freed aircraft to pursue strategic targets. The A-10 proved that it was the only Air Force platform that could perform close air support adequately. This answer is incorrect. Please review Lesson 2, Objective 3. Question 12 6.25 / 6.25 pts According to Smith in "Ten Propositions Regarding Spacepower," which of the following demonstrates that air and space are NOT one seamlessly integrated operational medium? Airpower is beholden to the timeless principles of war, while spacepower is antithetical to all of them. Airpower's per-platform cost continues to rise, while spacepower's perplatform cost is falling dramatically. Airpower is best managed from a theater perspective, while spacepower is best managed from a global perspective. Airpower is becoming less relevant to future conflict, while spacepower is becoming more relevant. This answer is Correct. Question 13 6.25 / 6.25 pts According to AFDP-3-0.1, Command and Control, which of the following is not an element of JADC2? Advanced networkingTheater Air Control System (TACS) A sensing grid Effects delivery This answer is correct. Question 14 6.25 / 6.25 pts In CSIS’s “Making the Most of the Air Force’s Investment in Joint All Domain Command and Control” by Morgan Dwyer, he claims that the Air Force will encounter ___________ constraints as it develops technical solutions for JADC2. training manpower cultural organizational This answer is correct. Question 15 6.25 / 6.25 pts According to CSIS’s “Making the Most of the Air Force’s Investment in Joint All Domain Command and Control” by Morgan Dwyer, the leading Air Force technical solution to the problem of Joint All-Domain Command and Control is the _______________________ Tactical Air Control System. Advanced Battle Management System.Theater Battle Management Control System. Theater Air Control System. This answer is correct. Question 16 6.25 / 6.25 pts In the YouTube clip from the 2019 Air, Space & Cyber Conference, former CSAF General David Goldfein, in his explanation of Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO), says that while we already have weapons and platforms that work cross-domain, JADO will become a fully networked force, where operators are connected _______________________ via Link-32, allowing sensors to communicate quickly and effectively with shooters. by a mesh network that is highly resilient and self-healing. via Link-16, allowing sensors to communicate quickly and effectively with shooters. by point-to-point circuits, minimizing jamming and other forms of interference. This answer is correct.
