PLANNING AIRMOBILE OPERATIONS AT TACTICAL LEVEL
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2009, Vol 152, Issue 2
Abstract
The author indicates that the new geopolitical situation has led to a number of redefinitions in the sphere of international security, hence in the areas of the anticipated tasks for NATO and our armed forces. The rules of employing operational forces and territorial defence units have also been modified. At present juncture, in particular under the influence of changes in technology, the speed and pace of operations as well as the principles of conducting tactical operations are being reviewed.What is particularly crucial under these circumstances is the capability to use forces and assets in the third dimension. This requirement, with specialist forces being tight, generates another, significant premise: it is imperative to possess properly trained forces and adequate assets from other services for airmobile operations.The development of means of combat and the concepts for their employment have resulted in working out numerous principles owing to which the process of planning and organising tactical helicopter landing operations has been facilitated. As a result, combat training of subunits has been improved and their capabilities of carrying out the assigned tasks have been greatly enhanced.The process of commanding helicopter and army subunits employed in helicopter landing operations is a complex one and because of the diverse composition of forces, the area of operations and their dynamics. This is why, one of the fundamental factors influencing success in such operations is full integration at every stage of an operation. The scope of duties for commanders in the process of commanding forces assigned to a helicopter landing operation is diversified.
