Subterranean warfare has evolved throughout history into what has become a technique for possibly negating the effect of air power. From the ancient underground structures in what is now present day to the heavily defended and fortified bunkers located in Iraq during Desert Storm subterranean warfare has time and time again negated the otherwise overwhelming destructive capability of superior air power.

Subterranean warfare has evolved throughout history into what has become a technique for possibly negating the effect of air power. From the ancient underground structures in what is now present day to the heavily defended and fortified bunkers located in Iraq during Desert Storm subterranean warfare has time and time again negated the otherwise overwhelming destructive capability of superior air power. Analysis of warfare leads to several conclusions, as evidenced in the case study of the horrific, bloody fighting during the battle for Peleliu during World War II. During this battle over 10,000 thousand Marines casualties resulted from the fighting in an area 400 yards by 900 yards. Over the years the United States military has encountered subterranean structures and struggled with techniques to destroy these complex systems. Presently, the United States military has no doctrine, tactics, techniques, or procedures for subterranean warfare. The researcher used case study and evaluation of years of warfare, during which the United States' enemies used subterranean tactics to defend territory. The researcher believes that there is a doctrinal void when it comes to engaging subterranean targets. Several propositions of Airpower may have to be reevaluated, based on the premise that our enemies will dig further and further into the earth as a result of U.S Airpower in the future.
