Kosovo Joint Center for Lessons Learned. Bulletin, Volume 2, Issue 3
Abstract
This issue completes the focus on Kosovo lessons learned begun in the February 2000 issue. Here we provide four articles that give an overview of the challenges encountered during Task Force HAWK and its follow-on mission, Task Force FALCON. While sections of the articles may appear to be more relevant to the tactical level, overall they provide a good synopsis of the challenges facing a Joint Task Force in the employment of Army deep attack capabilities during a modern limited warfare operation. The first article from the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) deals with the command and control of TF HAWK within a multiple command structure. It describes the coordination and integration of the various missions and forces operating in deep operations, and centers on the employment of the AH- 64 Apache attack helicopter and the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS). The next two articles, also from CALL, are a more detailed discussion of AH- 64 employment in deep operations and the use of the MLRS in deep fires. The fourth article is from US Army Europe and explains how lessons learned from prior operations in Kosovo were applied to the establishment of TF FALCON. It relates some of the similarities and differences between TF FALCON and the previous operations.
