加强北约的常规作战能力已成为连任的里根政府优先考虑的问题。作为一种防止核军事冲突升级的方法,它依赖于研究一种所谓“新技术”(Emerging Technology,以下简称ET技术)来建立常規武器系统,以遏制苏联的非核攻击。美国已接受了空地战原则来发展这些技术,而北约已接受了“攻击后续力量”(follow-on-iorce attack,FOFA)原则,它可应用ET技术来延伸通向敌后的战场。据说这两种原则是相互协调的,但并非完全一致。空地战原则从属于美国的全球战略。与之相配合的FOFA原则关心的只是欧洲纵深战场。在下面的文章中,美国负责常规作战的国防部副部长助理James Tegneia博士阐明了这种美国新战略的原理,它的结构变化以及与之有关的硬设备情况。(有关它的武器系统详细说明见IDR,8/1984,PP,1053～1066)
Strengthening NATO’s conventional combat capability has become a priority for the Reagan administration for two consecutive terms. As a way to prevent the escalation of the nuclear-armed conflict, it relies on the study of a so-called “Emerging Technology” (ET) for the establishment of conventional weapons systems to curb the non-nuclear attacks in the Soviet Union. The United States has accepted the principle of air ground warfare to develop these technologies, and NATO has accepted the FOF (Follow-on-iorce Attack) principle, which can apply ET technology to extend the battlefield leading to the enemy rear. The two principles are said to be coordinated but not entirely consistent. The principle of air ground is subordinate to the global strategy of the United States. Fulfillment of the FOFA principle is concerned only with the European battlefield depth. In the following article, Dr. James Tegneia, Assistant Secretary of Defense for U.S. Operations for Conventional Operations, sets out the rationale for this new U.S. strategy, its structural changes, and its associated hardware.
