This chapter explores the inception of the USAF's two educational institutions: the Air University (AU), and the US Air Force Academy (USAFA). The chapter shows that the AU, building on the interwar experience of the ACTS (Air Corps Tactical School), was able as a graduate school to go beyond expectations by becoming a fertile hub for professional learning. Conversely USAFA by mirroring Army and Navy institutions, established an undergraduate school with a solid curriculum, if not innovative in its approach. Tied to the rise of an independent air force service, the establishment of AU and USAFA sponsored by important military figures such as Billy Mitchell and Dwight Eisenhower heralded the rise of airpower theory in the Cold War era.

This chapter traces the RAF's emphasis since the mid-1970s on the conceptual component of air power, discussing among other themes the creation of the Director of Defence Studies and the Royal Air Force Centre for Air and Space Power Studies. Further it describes the aims and benefits of the integration of university faculty into upper level air force education courses and the equally productive placement of selected RAF officers in a range of academic programs in first ranked UK universities where the mix with civilian students provides additional benefits. These 'CAS fellowships' have produced, say the authors, 300 officers with unique perspectives which guarantee that RAF servicemen and women deliver quality intellectual input into questions of national security, ensuring that matters of air and space power are authoritatively articulated.

This chapter examines approaches to institutional education at two periods in the life of the US Air Force -- one in its infancy, i.e., before it became a separate service, the other in its maturity as a full-fledged member of the American military establishment. The first embraces the period 1921-1940, the second 1990-2016. Both analyses address five issues concerning the educational institutions being discussed: origins and purpose, faculty, curriculum, students, and significance. The author posits that while both schools have created elites whose function has been to translate the nation's strategy to useable airpower capabilities there has been the need to be vigilant against intellectual elitism wherein the promotion of airpower for its own sake cannot be accepted.

The chapter argues that strategic-level military education should be updated to confront the increasingly complex and multifarious environment of modern conflicts. Strategic theory based on the familiar trinity of ends (policy), ways (strategy) and means (tactics) adapted to traditional wars between state actors is insufficient to tackle modern battlespaces such as Syria and Libya, fraught with non-state entities, transnational issues and delicate alliances. Modern counterinsurgency operations and the highly fluctuating globalized political arena demands greater flexibility and adaptability both at a national and international level and in the associated education programs for leaders being prepared to operate in these environments.
