An analysis of combat support experiences associated with Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) that compares these experiences with those associated with Joint Task Force Noble Anvil (JTF NA), the U.S. component of Operation Allied Force, in Serbia, and the first 100 days of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), in Afghanistan. Its objectives were to indicate the performance of U.S. Air force combat support in JTF NA, OEF, and OIF, and examine how Agile Combat Support concepts were implemented in OIF.
