520    This report evaluates the economic wisdom of relying 
       primarily on expendable weapons, such as cruise missiles, 
       to conduct air-to-ground strike missions. Focusing solely 
       on cost, the author examined the U.S. historical use of 
       air-to-ground attack during and since the Vietnam War, 
       looking, among other things, at the length of each 
       conflict and the weapons expended. Only if the United 
       States is confident that all possible conflicts over the 
       system lifetime can be ended in a total of less than about
       ten days is exclusive reliance on expendable assets 
       prudent. Expendable weapons do have some important 
       operational advantages, but if the United States wishes to
       maintain the capability to wage air war efficiently for 
       more than a few days, reusable platforms are an important 
       part of an efficient force mix.

       United States Air Force under Contract FA7014-06-C-0001.
