SUMMARY

Subscribe Today

In this article, we have attempted to provide you an understanding of the helicopters utilized in air assault operations and a basic knowledge of air assault terminology. These basics will set the conditions for the rest of the series on air assault. As always, you must crawl, before you walk and run – or in this case fly!

NEXT MONTH

Air Assault Reverse Planning Sequence. In the coming articles of this mini-series, we will discuss the air assault planning sequence in reverse order. As with all well-planned operations, we begin planning at the objective and work our way back to the beginning. All actions are oriented towards the objective. This is particularly critical in air assault since it is tempting to plan from the beginning forward given all the moving pieces required to get to the objective area.
