A COMPARISON OF RECONNAISSANCE TECHNIQUES FOR LIGHT OBSERVATION HELICOPTERS AND A GROUND SCOUT PLATOON IN A WINTER ENVIRONMENT: A TWO-SIDED FIELD PLAY,

Abstract

The Field Experiments Division of RAC is attempting to provide timely solutions to current Army problems involving tactics and doctrine. A major portion of the division's field activities have dealt with helicopter operations. During July 1963 a research team conducted a two-sided, free-play field study with the 2d Sqdn, 4th Cav, 4th Armd Div, to evaluate several techniques of helicopter reconnaissance. The study's Project Advisory Group requested that a winter-phase investigation be carried out to obtain additional data concerning helicopter reconnaissance and to measure reconnaissance performance under different seasonal conditions.
