3 Levels of Doctrine
Doctrine: The officially-sanctioned beliefs, based on theory & history
• Basic Doctrine – Most fundamental and enduring
beliefs that describe and guide the proper use of air & space forces
– NOT a checklist or scientific formula…provides common frame of reference
– Provides an Airman’s perspective on organizing and employing air and space forces
