Abstract
This Handbook incorporates guidance, doctrine and tactics required to plan and execute airmobile operations. It is specifically designed for resident and extension course students of the United States Army Infantry School to provide the student with a knowledge of how to apply the Army Airmobility Concept to enhance land combat effectiveness.
