Abstract
This paper discusses two positions that are suggested as being the most dangerous; the Air Force's Special Operations and the Air Force's nuclear corps. The paper asserts that the dangers involved are considered both reasonable and acceptable given the fact that the US military is an all volunteer corps. The paper posits that these positions contribute to social utility and the special operations are finally deemed to be the most dangerous position in the Air Force because it places the members in direct danger on a more regular basis.

Abstract
This study will discuss the different roles of the Air Force is creating weapons that could be used in space, as well as the many different facets of military monitoring that are part of the use of satellites in space. By understanding such angles in Air force technology, such as the use of missiles, and long-range communications networks, we can see how the history of the Air Force in this perspective can show us the failures, as well as the great successes, which contribute to the safety of the United States in this manner. With all of these options for space defense, as well as military advantages on the offensive side, we can see how these informational structures in the advancement of technology has created a whole new way to see air defense in our history of outer space utilization. In the last seventy-five years, there has been much that was accomplished in this arena, and by showing the many accomplishments of this varied military institution, we can learn how they changed and adapted in the realm of weapons building

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed exploration of the supply chain management practices of the United States Air Force. The writer examines the method of meeting supply demand and the management of that demand. The writer uses several sources, including congressional testimony, to illustrate the topic and argue that it is a good system that should be continued as recommended in the congressional testimony.
From the Paper
"All sectors of business use a supply chain man management system to develop and handle the supply needs of the company. The United States Air Force for business purposes is one of the largest companies in the United States and as such as an immense organization it is vital that the management of the supply chain run as smoothly and effectively as possible. The current method of supply chain management works well and utilizes many business strategies that are common to the private sector. While there is room for improvement in any organization I believe the Air Force supply chain management is an effective and valuable system."

Abstract
This paper explores how to reduce domestic violence in the US Air Force. The paper explains that in the US Air Force, domestic abuse is an equal opportunity crime. The paper also explains that the Air Force's Family Advocacy Program, charged with the prevention and treatment of domestic violence, has the shared goal of enhancing the health and well-being of Air Force families and communities so that service members can focus on the mission and their job performance. The paper also looks at programs that have been established, like the DoD Task Force on Family Violence, that can help members of stressed family units to access counseling or other kinds of help.
Outline:
Statement of Problem
Review of effectiveness literature and conclusions of review (including studies at policy level and if they support policy interventions).
A logic model that describes the relationship between the theory of change/program theory, interventions and outcomes at two levels (Target population, the activities or services, who will provide/how much, what will change, what outcomes are expected.)
Description and linkage of explanatory theories and program theories relating to the problem. How does Change happen?
Rational argument for why these interventions were selected, with an explanation of how they are supported by the theory of change and the literature. Are changes at different levels supported by different theories? If so, how are the differences reconciled?
The Defense Task Force on Domestic Violence
Comment on the ways in which proposed intervention is based on social work values and ethics. How cultural and economic diversity and social justice are addressed in proposed intervention. How is customer participation/empowerment and involvement of other stakeholders included? What key conceptual issues are left unanswered with this intervention?
Discuss steps to assure fidelity to the proposed intervention model
Statement of proximal and distal outcomes expected
What are policy issues?
From the Paper
"Using a definition of domestic violence that includes a wide range of behaviors, from slapping and hitting to using a gun on spouse or child, this review found that such physical assault is frequently experienced by American women: In one study that used phone interviews, 52 percent of surveyed women said they were physically assaulted as a child by an adult caretaker and/or as an adult by any type of perpetrator; 1.9 percent of surveyed women said they were physically assaulted in the previous 12 months. Based on these estimates, annually there are about 1.9 million women who are physically assaulted in the United States (Tjaden 1998)."

Abstract
This essay looks at the role of air power in the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-88, arguing that it was largely used as a deterrent to an escalation in the conflict. First, the author examines how air power was used in the conventional role during the conflict. It then goes on to look at the vested interest that both sides had in not escalating the war. The essay explains how this led to air power being used to dissuade both sides from intensifying the conflict. The author states that international opinion, especially that of the United States and the Former Soviet Union, may also have a influenced both sides from having a more aggressive air conflict.
From the Paper
"Air power during the Iran-Iraq war was used to a small degree in conventional combat roles. It was used on a number of occasions, primarily during the early stages of the conflict, in the ground attack role. On the arguable first day of the war, 22nd September 1980, Iraqi air assets conducted strikes on towns, cities, airports and industrial instalments. Of importance, this included attacks on 10 Iranian airfields. In retaliation, the Iranian air force struck back at two Iraqi airbases on the same day. Over the following days, such Iraqi strikes continued with lesser intensity until by the 25th September they were largely limited to attacks on easily reachable bases close to the border. Paralleling the Iraqi actions, similar ground attacks by Iranian air assets also continued until the 25th September when they stopped almost completely."

Abstract
This paper examines the rise of air medical and evacuation services in northern and remote areas of Canada after the 1920s, noting the continuing need for air ambulance services for Canadians living beyond road or rail networks. The paper points out that a great array of popular history material has been published in the last thirty years or so attesting to the romantic lives of bush pilots who indeed were often self-styled persons to occupy their own boundless milieu. The paper adds that a study of the many female bush pilots provides an intriguing aside on the women's history emphasis of the last decades that can lend an impression of women's domesticity that was by no means general. The paper concludes that, today, bush pilots retain their particular glamour, being well-equipped and trained with every benefit of modern communications and navigation, and still risking unusual, even ridiculous situations.

From the Paper
"With socialized medicine as a federal Canadian addition, outpost infirmaries and hospitals were incorporated into local communities but some memoirs refer to occasional doctors who carried on in remote service, radioing instructions to particular flying companies or pilots; instructions arrived via Royal Canadian Air Force stations, too, in a continuing range of services that has by no means subsided with the advent of tele-medicine. Nursing were sometimes found in contract posts who might be better described today as physician's assistants in their obstetrical and orthopedic skills, not a few of them turning to surgery where there was no doctor and air evacuation impossible in time to save lives. (Larmour 1988) The international profession of nursing took considerable interest in the post-World War II decades in what Canadian provinces and territories were beginning to pioneer in nursing stations, infirmaries, public information on when to bring patients to radio dispatch centres and all else done and learned by practitioners in the course of northern or Arctic service.

Abstract
This study examines the relationship between U.S. military success and the acquisition of airstrips in enemy territory. It puts forward that argument that U.S. military forces have the ability to successfully accomplish any mission when provided with access and control of foreign airfields. Successful military operations are dependent upon reliable air delivery technologies and airfield infrastructures. These infrastructures provide the communications support and manpower necessary to promote success in any climate. The study focuses on the ability of the U.S. military to project itself to any theater of war from any aircraft carrier. It also details the importance of securing military airstrips to enable deployment of additional troops and supplies. It links past military successes with such efforts.

From the Paper
"In most cases airfields are developed near cities, which may provide key strategic locality for military personnel. The acquisition of airfields in the past has often meant the difference between success and failure. Oftentimes, air force personnel have no method of relief other than provided through air transportation. Supplies and personnel can be delivered thanks to modern technologies. Military strategic objectives revolve around the ability of personnel to seize or gain access to key installations. Operatives are no longer reliant upon the capability of ships. The center of gravity for military success has definitely become military airstrips. The recent military success in Afghanistan further supports the idea that the U.S. military dominates in the arena of airpower, and can adapt their operations to accommodate an airfield whether it is fully equipped or unprepared."

Abstract
This paper examines how, based on its leaner operating structure and its return to profitability, Air Canada's future prospects appear solid, although the competitive environment is increasing. In order to confirm this, the paper performs a SWOT and a Porter Five Forces analysis on the company. It also provides recommendations for potential investors.

Investment Recommendation
From the Paper
"Air Canada is one of the world's largest airlines and as such can leverage its stature through various purchasing and hedging strategies. Gillen lists the following strengths as being of primary importance to the competitive profile of the new Air Canada: reduced capacity, increased load factors, yield increases, increased traffic, reduced costs of $2 billion, refocused on long-haul routes, and strategic formation of domestic carriers in the low-fare market (3). Essentially, Air Canada's greatest strength lies in its very size which ensures it can take advantage of market strategies that smaller carriers cannot such as leveraging its order sizes to achieve better prices and margins with its suppliers."
