Air Land Battle doctrine

The Air Land Battle doctrine was a U.S. military strategy developed in the 1980s to improve how air and ground forces work together during combat. It emphasizes coordinated, rapid operations to disrupt and defeat enemy forces by leveraging the mobility, precision, and speed of air power, combined with strong ground actions. This approach aims to prevent adversaries from achieving strategic advantages, increase battlefield flexibility, and ensure U.S. forces can respond effectively to different threats. Essentially, it promotes seamless teamwork between air and land units to achieve faster and more effective military outcomes.
