The 31st Fighter Wing’s embrace of dynamic force employment—a type of concept of operations that emphasizes quick deployments and multirole Airmen—will transform various aspects of how Airmen based out of Aviano Air Base, Italy, do business, its commander said during a virtual all-call on Nov. 6.
That ability, what was known and will be known for the future as dynamic force employment, that’s the kinda global capability that we need to train to, organize to, and it is different,” he said during the Zoom call. “It causes us to think about how we move stuff, how we move people, how we position warfighters in the right places, what capabilities go with, and how.”
This approach will frame how the wing prepares for future fights in other theaters, as well as how it approaches in-theater operations and the way its Airmen train on a daily basis, Bailey said.
This paradigm shift, however, doesn’t mean the wing will totally abandon more traditional deployments that involve “a pre-deployment preparation cycle,” shipping out, carrying out the mission, and recovering, he said, noting that multiple squadrons from the wing are currently on deployments that followed the more typical model.

It sounds a bit like the old fashioned squadron rotations. At least more movement of airframes.The unit is looking to alter its approach to warfighting, by sending “small contingents of a fighter squadron and [moving] them across Europe,” to back up “European and NATO operations,” and “to support those in multiple locations all at once from one fighter squadron,” he said.
