Combined Arms Brigades in AirLand Operations: The Airland Operations Application of Combined Arms Brigades at the Operational Level of War

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the viability of combined arms brigade employment in AirLand Operations. As criteria, the study imposes the Operational Operating Systems (OOS) contained in the April 15, 1990 TRADOC Pam 11-9, Army to determine whether or not brigade can be employed directly under corps auspices to achieve operational resolution. Secondly, the study reviews AirLand Battle doctrine and future concepts as the precursors to AirLand Operations. This study concludes that the combined arms brigade, which consists of a full complement of tailorable combat arms, artillery, combat support and combat service support, best prepared us for the preponderance of known conditions of future nonlinear AirLand Operations warfare.
