PREFACE This work would not have been possible without the unwavering support of my wife. No words could begin to acknowledge my thanks for her support, advice, and sacrifice throughout every endeavor of my career. She is my best friend and I take comfort in the knowledge that she is by my side through every challenge. The men and women of the Air Force Personnel Center's Rated Assignments branch also deserve recognition. The thankless work accomplished by these officers and civilians enables our force to execute the mission with the right people, in the right place, at the right time. Complex human problems are uncomplicated through their efforts. In particular, I'd like to thank Colonel Russell "Torque" Garner, Lieutenant Colonel Scott "Hummer" Cerone, Mr. James Weimer, and Mr. Richard Houston for providing a phenomenal education in rated force management, and the 2014-2016 fighter assignment officers Major John "BATT" Platt, Major Nicholas "Warble" DeFazio, Major Christopher "Bow" Russell, and Major Benjamin "Showdown" Schill for their tireless efforts to reconcile the shortage in fighter experience. These unsung heroes preserve our nation's ability to project power through the greatest air and space force the world has ever known.
