AIRCOM Deputy Commander Air Marshal Stringer talks to Aerospace Nation

The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies invited Royal Air Force’s Air Marshal Johnny Stringer, Deputy Commander, NATO Allied Air Command, to speak to David A. Deptula, Dean of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Power Studies, and host of the Aerospace Nation podcast

Air Marshal Stringer offers his insights on NATO Air Power topics such as Integrated Air and Missile Defence, Air Policing, 75 years of NATO, Multi-Domain Operations, Offensive vs Defensive Operations as well as Partnerships and cohesion.

As NATO celebrates its 75th anniversary, the organization’s mission is more important than ever. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, paired with a broader slate of global threats, demand a collaborative approach to safeguard our security interests with member nations.

Airpower is a key means through which NATO members can both deter adversaries in times of peace and project decisive power in times of conflict. Member states routinely train for combined operations, with missions like the U.S. Air Force’s bomber task force deployments and Allied participation in Red Flag exercises standing as key examples.

The notion of NATO Airpower is rapidly evolving thanks to a generational wave of modernization with member air forces, much of which is focused on 5th Generation technologies like the F-35 and Remotely-Piloted Aircraft systems such as the RQ-4D or the MQ-9.
