The Harrier.

Operates from woods, runways, roads, PSP, very short damaged bits of asphalt, aircraft carriers, frigates ( albeit with a short range), ramps.

It flies CAS missions, AD missions, Recce.

In short it is FLEXIBLE.

Wasn't the old NATO doctrine "Flexibility is the key to air power"

Which lecture did he sleep through at Staff College?
