“Do we get to see the replacement for shock and awe?”

It’s called Arc Light.

But it’s not as precise as Shock and Awe. It’s hard to be precise with 160 500lb gravity bombs. Instead one should envision mowing a lawn.

These days, the 500lb gravity bombs are JDAMS and are actually quite precise.

Your reference says it was over in 1973. I was under several of these raids over 50 years ago. We have not heard what they are going to do next.
