Agile Combat Employment

Agile Combat Employment (ACE) is a military strategy that emphasizes flexibility, rapid deployment, and adaptability for air forces. Instead of relying on large, fixed bases, it involves dispersing aircraft and resources across multiple, often temporary or mobile, locations. This approach allows forces to quickly respond to threats, reduce vulnerability, and maintain operational effectiveness even if some sites are attacked. By emphasizing agility and resilience, ACE enhances the ability to project power, deter adversaries, and ensure continued readiness in dynamic and contested environments.
