Air and Space Power Conference 2024 Transcript Always Operating Organisational, Structural, and Cultural Elements by Lieutenant General Greg Bilton

Considerable resources have so far been expended on the RAAF air power education program but few, if any, performance measures are in place to assess whether those resources are being effectively and efficiently employed.

Like any form of combat power, air power does not develop in isolation; nor is it static. Even
if there were no formal process linking its theoretical development and practical application
to other elements of national security, plainly it will remain responsive to a range of external
influences from the wider civil and military communities which combine to shape the
national security outlook.

Space is often referred to as the 'fourth dimension' of warfare, characterised by its own doctrines, strategies and operations.
