Global Capability – Strategic Attack
Strategic Attack is defined as military action carried out against an enemy’s Center of Gravity (COG) or other vital target sets, including command elements, war-production assets, and key supporting infrastructure
Global Capability – Counter LandCounter Land Operations: Counter Land involves those operations conducted to attain and maintain a desired degree of superiority over surface operations by the destruction or neutralization of enemy surface forces.
Global Capability – Counter LandCounter Land Operations: Includes two subgroups:
- Air Interdiction operations destroys, disrupts, diverts, or delays the enemy’s surface military potential before it can be used effectively against friendly forces.
- Close Air Support is the use of aerospace assets to directly support the ground force.

Counter Sea Operations are a collateral function that extends the application of Air Force power into the maritime environment. Specific Counter Sea missions include surface warfare (anti-ship), undersea warfare (anti-submarine), sea surveillance, and aerial mine-laying.
