The USAF faces a budget crisis that senior Air Force leaders feel can only be mitigated by cutting the force. The planned and ongoing cut calls for a 40,000 person force reduction. This reduction will free up badly needed budgetary dollars to help re-capitalize and modernize our aging air and space platforms. The researcher sets out to answer the following question: What impact will the United States Air Force's 40,000 person drawdown have on its ability to effectively support the global war on terror (GWOT)? The researcher argues that the USAF's 40,000 person drawdown runs counter to fighting the GWOT, because it sends a message to its most precious resources that they are not needed. An alternate solution, in the form of a smaller cut, is necessary to keep the warrior ethos alive in our Airmen. The researcher argues that an alternate solution to the drawdown will help preserve USAF morale, retention, and recruitment, and guarantee our continued success in the GWOT.
