Abstract: The military force of a country usually comprises three key components: the army, the navy and the air force, all of which can stake a legitimate claim to be the most vital aspect of the military due to their various strengths. Yet, in recent conflicts, it is arguable that air power can be seen as the most crucial component of the military. With air forces around the world developing more cutting-edge technology such as precision munitions and more efficient computing processors, as well as working on new operating doctrines, the future of military engagements seem to point to the skies as the key aspect of any country’s military. Through an examination of various examples of armed conflicts, this essay serves to debate if air power is really the panacea to future armed conflicts, or if land and naval forces are just as essential.
