Is Army Aviation Doctrine Adequate for Military Operations Other Than War?

Abstract

This thesis is a study of Army aviation doctrine and its suitability for military operations other than war (MOOTW). It uses four case studies of operations in which Army aviation played a significant role: Operation Restore Hope in Somalia, United Nations Operations in Somalia (UNOSOM II), Operation Uphold Democracy in Haiti, and Operations Joint Guard and Joint Endeavor in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The case studies analyze the missions conducted during these operations and highlight the challenges encountered as well as the applicable doctrine, where it exists. The thesis continues with an analysis of aviation doctrine and its guidance for operations other than war.
