Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research project expresses concern over the future of Army Aviation. There are many changes that are ongoing within the Army today. Army Aviation needs to be proactive and recommend some changes to the way it does business and the way it should look in the years to come to support the Army's future. Army Aviation is and will be supporting the Chief of Staff of the Army's (CSA) new vision for the Army. while there is much experimentation ongoing, as well as numerous proposals for the way the structure of the Army will look in the future, there is nothing substantial published on what the future of Army Aviation should be to support the CSA's vision. This project will address some of the issues and concerns of future Army Aviation operations and structure, and will propose some recommendations for the way Army Aviation should look in the not too distant future. Currently, most of the information concerning changes to Army Aviation is sensitive in nature so the majority of this paper will contain the author's thoughts and recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctrine provides a military organization with unity of effort and a common philosophy, language, and purpose. This document is the Army's keystone doctrine for fighting and sustaining aviation brigades. This field manual (FM), “Aviation Brigades,” is intended for all aviation commanders, staffs, and any United States (U.S.) military personnel expecting to conduct operations with Army aviation units. The operational concepts described in this manual reinforce fundamental principles found in Army doctrine. It provides overarching doctrinal guidance for employing aviation brigades in full spectrum operations and a foundation for developing tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) in other/follow-on Army manuals. FM 3-04.111 expands employment doctrine for aviation units and describes considerations for forming aviation battalion task forces (ABTFs). Chapter 1 focuses on aviation brigade organizations and missions and provides aviation brigade fundamentals for reader consideration. Chapter 2 provides doctrine for organizing operations' command and control (C2) systems. It provides the organization for command post (CP) structure and general guides for roles and functions of CPs and their cells. Chapter 2 also describes duties of brigade leaders and staff. Chapter 3 discusses employment of the aviation brigade, planning considerations, and airground integration. Chapter 4 focuses on the formation and employment of ABTFs. It provides considerations for task organization based on mission and theater, and discussion of aviation task force employment principles. Chapter 5 discusses aviation brigade maintenance and logistics providing insight regarding the need to optimize mission accomplishment while balancing sustainability, mobility, and survivability. This chapter also focuses on the aviation support battalion's (ASB's) mission and function. The appendices provide guidance, procedures and recommendations concerning specific subjects and amplify concepts referred to in the chapters. Appendix A discusses the Army Force Generation Model. Appendix E provides basic aircraft characteristics. This FM applies to aviation forces through all operational themes—peacetime military engagements to major combat operations—and full spectrum operations—offensive, defensive, stability, and civil support. This manual applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated. Procedures described herein are intended as a guide and are not to be considered inflexible. Each situation in combat must be resolved by an intelligent interpretation and application of the doctrine set forth herein. Finally, FM 3-04.111 furnishes a foundation for subordinate doctrine, force design, materiel acquisition, professional education, and individual and unit training.

Aviation Restructive Initiative Tactical Implications for the Heavy Division Combat Aviation Brigade
Download or read book Aviation Restructive Initiative Tactical Implications for the Heavy Division Combat Aviation Brigade written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph evaluates the tactical implications of the Heavy Division Combat Aviation Brigade under the Aviation Restructure Initiative (ARI) force design. It begins with an examination of US National Security Strategy and National Military Strategy changes in response to the evolving geostrategic environment. It then traces the development of Army Aviation force structure from its embryonic roots, 6 June 1942, as a logistical support asset, to its present day status as a combat arms maneuver branch. ARI is then analyzed using the Battlefield Operating Systems as a structural framework, to determine the tactical implications for the Heavy Division Combat Aviation Brigade. Finally, it concludes that ARI is not the optimum force structure. It is, however, a significant improvement over the austere structure of today, although it falls short in resourcing for sustained combat operations. Historically, the Army has adapted to change in its environment by altering its force structure. ARI is the Army Aviation force structure for the 21st Century. It is foremost an answer to resource constraints, and then a solution of compromise which balances warfighting and technology.

Book excerpt: An in-depth look at the past, present, and future of China’s military. When Mao Zedong proclaimed the People’s Republic of China in 1949, China was a poor and wrecked society after years of continuous wars. For centuries, in fact, China had been seen as a sort of plunder-zone to be invaded, and then a backwater until the late 1980s—when domestic policy brought about monumental changes. The result is that China has grown to be the second largest economy in the world, and its military has grown proportionately. Successive decades of economic growth have transformed China—in addition to the weapons revolution during the computer age—so that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has become a modern fighting force. No longer having to rely on massed infantry attacks, it now features a formidable arsenal, including nuclear submarines, ICBMs, stealth fighters, and modern battle tanks. Perhaps ominously for other maritime powers, the Chinese have also focused on beyond-the-horizon missile technology, as well as antiaircraft systems, and have explored the possibilities of cyber-warfare. What is today’s PLA really like? What are its traditions and histories, and how is it armed and equipped? How does it recruit and train? This book describes some of the lesser-known battles and wars the Chinese have undertaken and the development of their key weapons systems. The United States, having opened the door to drone warfare, has had an attentive audience for such technologies in Beijing. The last chapter provides thoughts on how the Chinese view matters of security. It is not yet known whether foreign powers can still enforce their territorial wills on China—but future attempts will meet an increased challenge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at several troop categories based on primary function and analyzes the ratio between these categories to develop a general historical ratio. This ratio is called the Tooth-to-Tail Ratio. McGrath's study finds that this ratio, among types of deployed US forces, has steadily declined since World War II, just as the nature of warfare itself has changed. At the same time, the percentage of deployed forces devoted to logistics functions and to base and life support functions have increased, especially with the advent of the large-scale of use of civilian contractors. This work provides a unique analysis of the size and composition of military forces as found in historical patterns. Extensively illustrated with charts, diagrams, and tables.

This book was released on 2012-07-02 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army training circular (TC) 1-400 is intended for all Army brigade aviation element (BAE) personnel, brigade combat team (BCT) commanders, and their staffs. It is intended for use at brigade level but may be adapted for use at ground maneuver battalion level. The focus throughout this TC is how the BAE operates and how it supports the BCT. This TC identifies coordination and information requirements necessary for effectively employing aviation and aviation-related assets in the combined-arms team. TC 1-400 provides as much information as possible without reprinting other doctrinal manuals. Its intent is to provide considerations, lists, and checklists to assist the user in planning and executing aviation operations in support of the BCT. The operational concepts are based on Army doctrine as established in Army field manuals (FMs); thus, it cannot be read in isolation. To successfully use information presented here, the reader must have an understanding of doctrinal concepts contained in listed references within this TC. The TC emphasizes force structure and enhanced operational capability provided by Army aviation transformation which is ongoing and should be complete by 2008. This TC applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), the United Sates Army reserve (USAR) , and Army civilian employees of the transformation force across the full range of military operations—peacetime military engagements (PMEs), small scale contingencies (SSCs), and major theater war (MTW). TC 1-400 builds on the collective knowledge and experience gained through recent operations, many exercises, and the deliberate process of informed reasoning. This publication is rooted in time-tested principles and fundamentals, while addressing new technologies and evolving responses to the diverse threats to national security. It will also assist Army branch schools in teaching aviation operations. The procedures described herein are intended as a guide and are not to be considered inflexible. Each situation in combat must be resolved by an intelligent interpretation and application of the doctrine set forth herein.
