       index. 
505 0  Introduction -- The organization of China's air and 
       missile forces -- The evolution of Chinese air force 
       doctrine -- Chinese concepts for the employment of air 
       forces -- Air offensive campaigns -- Air defense campaigns
       -- Air blockade campaigns -- Airborne campaigns -- The 
       role of other services in air force campaigns -- Possible 
       PLAAF operational concepts, capabilities, and tactics in a
       Taiwan Strait conflict -- Conclusions and implications. 
520    Less than a decade ago, China's air force was an 
       antiquated service equipped almost exclusively with 
       weapons based on 1950s-era Soviet designs and operated by 
       personnel with questionable training according to outdated
       employment concepts. Today, the People's Liberation Army 
       Air Force (PLAAF) appears to be on its way to becoming a 
       modern, highly capable air force for the 21st century. 
       This monograph analyzes publications of the Chinese 
       military, previously published Western analyses of China's
       air force, and information available in published sources 
       about current and future capabilities of the PLAAF. It 
       describes the concepts for employing forces that the PLAAF
       is likely to implement in the future, analyzes how those 
       concepts might be realized in a conflict over Taiwan, 
       assesses the implications of China implementing these 
       concepts, and provides recommendations about actions that 
       should be taken in response.
