Intro/Background

John A. Warden III is an executive, strategist, planner, author, and motivational speaker whose work has had a worldwide impact in business, in the military, in government, and in education. Vietnam combat pilot, author whose books include The Air Campaign and Winning in FastTime, Air Force Fighter Wing Commander, credited by Norman Schwarzkopf and Colin Powell as the architect of the Desert Storm Air Campaign, Special Assistant to the Vice President of the United States, Commandant of the Air Force’s Command and Staff College, successful business founder - he has capitalized on his studies and experience to create the Prometheus Process, a unique approach to strategy and success applicable wherever competition exists.

 

The Desert Storm Air Campaign was based on his revolutionary concept of “the enemy as system” in which military forces are considered parts of a much larger whole. He wrote the seminal work on modern airpower theory, The Air Campaign: Planning For Combat, which has been translated into at least seven languages.

 

While working at the Pentagon, Col. Warden led the team that prepared the airpower plans for Operation Desert Storm. This gave Warden an opportunity to put his "Five Rings" theory into practice. According to the "Five Rings" theory, the object of airpower was to attack your opponents 'centers of gravity'. Warden's plans led to an overwhelming victory for the coalition forces.

 

Col. Warden became the commandant of the Air Command and Staff College in August 1992.
