摘 要：This thesis was written to satisfy graduation requirements from the Joint Advance Warfighting School at the Joint Forces Staff College, Norfolk, VA. The thesis argues that the Services must develop an integrated and coordinated joint methodology to organize and train general purpose forces (GPF) as air advisors for fixed-wing and rotary-wing aviation security force assistance (AvSFA) missions. It also proposes a joint solution to flexibly increase the depth and breadth of GPF air advisor capability without burdening the Services with creating additional force structure. The core of the proposed joint solution is to create Joint GPF AvSFA Unit Type Codes (UTCs). Upon implementation, the Services will possess taskable packages of GPF fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and aviation support capability. These three AvSFA UTCs could be used independently or employed in concert to support the theater campaign plans of the geographic combatant commands. Eight recommendations result from the thesis. The three primary recommendations are to adopt the proposal, to identify a lead Service to chair joint implementation, and to convene a joint working group to determine the precise composition of the recommended GPF AvSFA UTCs.
