Ronald Reagan International Trade Center, Horizon Ballroom

The Eaker Institute, the public policy and research arm of the Air Force
Association’s Aerospace Education Foundation, is hosting a colloquy on aerospace
power operations in Yugoslavia and their implications for future doctrine, force structure
and resource allocations.
Despite what many call a flawed strategy in Operation Allied Force, NATO air operations
were conducted with near-flawless precision. In the end, aerospace power did compel the
Milosevic regime to accept NATO’s terms. Through the eyes of the Air Force’s top
commander in Europe and panelists knowledgeable in strategy and airpower operations, this
Eaker Colloquy will review the emerging lessons from Allied Force and will address the
potential trends in future strategy and forces.
