From the Sea and the Army's New Doctrinal Tenet Versatility

Abstract

In light of the growing interdependence of forces, the concept of operating Army helicopters from naval vessels is a force multiplier with great possibilities for future contingency applications. The trend, if not for the near term employment of this concept, must be toward a true 'joint' capability in a mix which enhances the overall potential of all the services. This paper is an analysis of the implications of the recent Navy White Paper, 'From the Sea' and how it relates to the U.S. Army's new tenet 'Versatility' The historical use of Army aircraft off naval vessels will be examined, along with the feasibility and benefits of employing the AH-64 attack helicopter on U.S. Navy carriers and assault ships....Implications, Doctrine, Historical perspective
