Validation of Close Air Support (CAS). Phase 2 Results. Executive Summary

Abstract

The Close Air Support Validation Program was directed to reduce areas of uncertainty in the Joint Staff Task Force Close Air Support Study, Phase II, November 1972 (JSTF Study), that pertained to Service command and control of Close Air Support (CAS) and Attack Helicopter Support (AHS). This direction tasked the JCS to conduct CAS validation to answer OSD-prescribed objectives through collection of data during joint training exercises. JCS tasked USREDCOM, in coordination with LANTCOM, to develop and conduct the program assisted by the Weapons System Evaluation Group on an independent basis. This report summarized the USREDCOM/LANTCOM final report of CAS Validation, submitted in nine volumes. Volume I contains data pooled from applicable exercises, the complete analysis, and conclusions. Volumes II-VIII contain data from each exercise, and Volume IX describes equipment and procedures.
