Saw this drop on twitter. Don't think it fits on a different thread so I made this one.

Turns out I'm right. It's a good read but the jist is, AF wants Joint Force to change some pretty key core doctrine to enable more power to the air force. 

Still, some really good observations made on a very modern use of airpower in a complex 21st century fight.
