Army Aviation: Preparing for Large-Scale Combat

Abstract

Army Aviation: Preparing for Large-Scale Combat explores how Army Aviation's method of preparation affects its readiness for large-scale combat operations (LSCO). This study traces history and doctrine from World War II through current day. Next, this work uses a case study of Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm to understand the employment of Army Aviation in a LSCO. Then, current Army Aviation readiness is assessed using reports from the National Training Center (NTC). Last, this text suggests five areas of preparation that need improvement or regeneration to prepare Army Aviation for a LSCO.
