Army Aviation Support to Naval Operations

Abstract

U.S. Army aviation units are organized to perform missions in support of land warfare however, many of the missions and most of the aircraft can also be integrated into naval operations with considerable ease. Fundamental naval warfare tasks are examined in this study to determine if niche missions exist that can be accomplished by Army aviation. Most naval operations can be supported to some degree, and many already have been. Army aviation is a diverse and flexible force which is well suited to supporting many traditional naval tasks and should not only be considered but, whenever possible, actively employed in support of naval operations.
