Description

Ever wondered how air campaigns are commanded? In today's episode, Air Marshal (retd) Greg Bagwell talks us through his deployment as the UK Air Component Commander during Operation ELLAMY. In 2011, the UK and a coalition of the willing intervened in the Libyan Civil War to protect civilian lives against the aggressive actions of Libyan Security Forces. ELLAMY saw the UK deploy various surface and sub-surface vessels, as well as a comprehensive air package to the theatre of operations. We'll be asking Air Marshal Bagwell how air campaigns of this scale are managed, how command is conducted in a multinational operation, and how effective air power was during this mission.
