Mercer Island CK – Affirmative – Air ForceContention One: Way up high in the Rolie Polie Sky Air Force operational readiness is tanked—we are fighting a ground war
And, they can't win a unique disadvantage—the Air Force will inevitably play a role in AFRICOM, its only a question of whether its response is sufficient. O'Conner, 07 (Seamus, Air Force Times, "AfriCom probably won't own many aircraft," November 27) Thus, the plan: the United States federal government should provide all necessary resources to the Air Force Medical Service to conduct medical readiness missions limited to humanitarian and civic assistance and medical response to disasters under the International Health Specialists Program in the topically designated areas. Contention Two: We're the Swellest Kid Around 1) Medical readiness missions are critical to rapidly enhancing competency for medics, which is a critical internal link to mission success. Only the plan can create a transition to mobile footprint teams that free up combative forces and solve readiness problems. The alternative is multiple scenarios for nuclear crises and natural disasters. Carleton, 01 (Lieutenant General Paul, The Surgeon General of the United States Air Force, "Air Force: Service a Privilege," January) None of their troop level arguments are responsive—the medical readiness of the Air Force can sustain rapid global mobility even with a decline in forward-deployed troops. Medics are the first line in elevating readiness levels. Mitchell, 01 (Marguerite, Uniformed Services University of Health and Sciences, "Medical Readiness of Air Force Members Not on Deployment for Shortfall Deployments," Defense Technical Information Center, May) 2) The International Health Specialists program is key to effective leadership and military engagement—the plan is key to facilitating successful military engagement around the globe. Ward et Al, 02 (Jane, Colonel Kerrie G. Lindberg, Major Daniel McNulty, Major Mona Ternus; former director and manager of the International Health Specialist Program, administrator of the Surgeon General's Tactical Action Team, individual mobilization augmentee; http://www.airpower.au.af.mil/airchronicles/apj/apj02/fal02/phifal02.html) Military medics are the tip of the spear in building security partnerships and reduce the likelihood of conflict. Empirics are on our side. Carlton, 01 (Lieutenant General Paul, The Surgeon General of the United States Air Force, "Air Force: Service a Privilege," January) This ensures unimpeded air power access and basing in Africa. Pre-emptive air engagement with Africa is key to the sustainability of hegemony and rapid global mobility. Hall, 03 (Brian, Colonel in the United States Air Force, Deputy Director of the United States Joint Forces Command, Rutgers University, Marine Corps Command and Staff college, September 4) 3) The Impacts: A. Sustainable United States forward deployment prevents multiple scenarios for nuclear conflict—prefer it to any other power structure. All of their impacts are more likely in a world without American predominance. Kagan, 07 (Robert, Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, "End of Dreams, Return of History," Policy Review, http://www.hoover.org/publications/policyreview/8552512.html#n10) B. Air power prevents global WMD conflicts Khalilzad and Lesser , 98 (Zalmay and Ian, Senior Researchers – Rand, Sources of Conflict in the 21st Century, http://www.rand.org/publications/MR/MR897/MR897.chap3.pdf) More extinction Straits Times, 00 ["Regional Fallout: No one gains in war over Taiwan," Jun 25, LN] Contention Three: We ran out of Rolie Polie Olie References Scenario One: Disease Lack of health infrastructure in Africa spurs drug resistant strains
Extinction South China Morning Post, 96 (Ben Abraham, One of the 100 Greatest Minds in History according to Mensa, ", "Leading the way to a cure for AIDS," P. Lexis, January 4) Scenario Two: Bioterrorism The US is uniquely vulnerable to bio-weapon threat dude to poor
Unconstrained bio-attacks cause extinction—none of you're impact defense is responsive. Steinbrauner, 97 (Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institute, Committee on International Security and Arms Control, December 22, Foreign Policy) The capacity to minimize the death toll in a domestic attackis crucial- large casualties ensures a US response that escalates to a nuclear war Conley, 03 (Harry W., chief of the systems analysis Branch, Directorate of Requirements, Air and Space Power Journal- Spring 2003- http://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/airchronicles/apj/apj03/spr03/conley.html The plan solves—only the IHS has the expertise in regional medical threats and can build sufficient infrastructure Ward et Al, 02 (Jane, Colonel Kerrie G. Lindberg, Major Daniel McNulty, Major Mona Ternus; former director and manager of the International Health Specialist Program, administrator of the Surgeon General's Tactical Action Team, individual mobilization augmentee; http://www.airpower.au.af.mil/airchronicles/apj/apj02/fal02/phifal02.html) DOD medics have technical advances that are critical to containing disease outbreaks and biological attacks—other actors don't stand a chance Carleton, 01 (Lieutenant General Paul, The Surgeon General of the United States Air Force, "Air Force: Service a Privilege," January) Directory: file -> view view -> Western Europe after wwii view -> Author study: paul fleischman view -> Qpa1 7ela study Guide view -> Arctic Oil/Gas Neg view -> November 1970 Approximately 150,000-500,000 deaths Bhola Cyclone Bangladesh view -> Grade Level: 6 Unit of Study: Caribbean glce view -> Citation: Duffield, Katy view -> Table of Contents Lesson # view -> Chinese Wind Energy Disad Download 2.81 Mb.
