LESSONS LEARNED, HEADQUARTERS, 12TH COMBAT AVIATION GROUP
Abstract
The 12th Combat Aviation Group, with some 403 aircraft on hand at the end of the reporting period continued its primary role of providing Army Aviation support to the ground tactical units in the 3 CTZ. During this period, the number of units to be supported increased without a proportionate increase in the number of supporting aviation units. Accomplishments during the reporting period included the completion of an extensive personnel infusion program in order to prevent a drop in efficiency because of a mass rotation of people of any one unit in any one month, and the development of simplified warning system to better protect aircraft in flight from friendly artillery fire. The Group Training Program was expanded and intensified, particularly by increased use of the CH-47 Mobile Training Team, an Airmobility Training Team, Pathfinder Training Program, and other special programs. Although aircraft availability showed marked improvement, especially in the case of CH-47's, more requests for aviation support were received than could be provided. The number of customers has continued to increase faster than the numbers of aircraft and crews to support the demands.
