An Airbase Ground Attack Scenario in Central Europe

Thomas C. Tompkins

Published 1987

This report presents a scenario in which Soviet and Warsaw Pact forces conduct ground attacks against a U.S. Air Force air base located in NATO's central region. Two time periods are considered: (1) D-day and (2) a few days later after the large-scale invasion of Western Europe by Soviet and Warsaw Pact forces. The paper was written in support of the RAND Project AIR FORCE study Enhancing the Enduring Continuity of Air Operations for NATO's Central Region.
