TAC Air Support of the US Army High Technology Force

Abstract

The US Army's new programs of High Technology Test Bed (HTTB) and High Technology Light Division (HTC), are heavily reliant on the availability and responsiveness of tactical airpower throughout the range of battle field tasks. Although these demands fall within the context of traditional airpower missions, the amount of TAC air and degree to which HTTB and HTLD seek to exercise control over air assets is unprecedented. This concept forces resolution of longstanding doctrinal issues between the Air Force and Army. The Air Force and Army should continue to actively pursue answers to these issues to the end of making HTLD and TAC air forces a more effective fighting team.
