Dear Student,
Hi and thank you for using BrainMass. The solution below should get you started. In this particular task, you are asking for help in outing together an outline/rough draft for a discussion paper on air space missions and functions in relation to air force core missions. Having reviewed the attached statement from Admiral Davidson, I am assuming that you want your paper to have a focus on the US Indo-Pacific Command missions to exemplify your points of discussion. I suggest writing an exploratory paper (see link here for explanation - https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/common_writing_assignments/exploratory_papers/index.html ) as what you want to present is information about your topic and share it with those reading your paper. Thus the outline should be simple and just divide it to subheadings:
1. Your topic (basically, the introduction)- what it is, why it is of interest and what your purpose is for the paper (200 words)
2. Context - give further detail to the topic and its importance to your purpose, the relevance of your purpose (200 words)
3. Body - information set that explores your topic (here you can set the following: a - air power mission concept you have chosen, b - joint function you have chosen, c - how they are related, d - example (500 words)
4. Conclusion - an exploratory paper does not necessarily need one, you can replace this with a summary of the information/main points of the paper (100 words)
5. References/resources
Above is a basic outline. Below, I have fleshed out a more detailed one based on this. I have also listed resources you can use, with citation in places needed. I suggest you go explore the topic further by looking for other possible resources either on Google Scholar, your online library or news items that are worth looking into. All the best to you.

Sincerely,

ISR: mission functions & join functions
Based on the statement of Admiral Philip Davidson (Davidson, 2019) to the US Senate Armed Services Committee on US-Indo Pacific Command Posture on the 12th February 2019, in an alliance of free countries that work towards keeping the Indo-Pacific region of the world open and free, the US works as the alliance' primary and enduring power in the region being that the nation is tied to the region historically, structurally, economically and institutionally. An Indo-Pacific region in chaos and instability is not just destructive to the nations in said region but also to the US and the world with the region being host to the half of the ...
