미국 공군의 독립과정 연구: 역사적 신제도주의 관점으로 = A Study on Process of Achieving Independence of the United States Air Force: Based on the Historical New Institutionalism

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The US Air Force has gained independence force from the US Army with the enactment of the National Security Law of 1947 with the right to foster air-based military operations. In the process, the United States Army Air Service (USAAS) was reorganized into the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) has functionally emerged to the USAF.
Since then the Chief of USAF has exercised its authority for implementation of its own acquirement of independent and robust air force platforms, operating integrated air power within the USCON and exercising global-reaching strategic air power capabilities Many experts has codenamed the establishment of the USAF as independent military service as notion of the historical and newinstitutionalism.
There are two factors on it: First three pre-conditions have been met in the context of military-industry market, institutionalization of four military services and impact of introducing new-domain of air operation.
Accordingly, a concept of the air power, including land-power as well as sea-power includes new doctrine, concept of operation in the air domain, allocation of budget for USAF, interaction between USAF and defense industries to produce new-generation air force platforms and weapons systems, etc.
Many concludes that leadership of the chief of USAF has influenced US national defense authority for development of USAF independently as single-service military capability. This has provided some robust sessions for US itself as well as US Space Force, newly establishing its independent miliary service separating from USAF in 2019 and US allies and other like-minded countries.
