Aviation Mission Planning Air Assault Security Recon Offensive Opps
Army Aviation Seven Core Competencies
― Provide Accurate and timely information collection (Recon Mission).
― Provide Reaction time and Maneuver Space (Security Mission).
― Destroy, Defeat, Disrupt, Divert, or Delay Enemy Forces –(Attack Mission).
― Air Assault Ground Maneuver Forces (Air Assault).
― Air Movement of Personnel, Equipment, and Supplies.
― Evacuate Wounded or Recover Isolated Personnel (MEDEVAC/CASEVAC/PR).
― Enable Mission Command over extended ranges and complex terrain.
NOT TO CONDUCT CLOSE COMBAT
Air Mission Coordination Meeting AMCM
Purpose is to complete the coordination between the ground and
aviation units. Synchronizes the air-ground operations. AMCM coordinates operational information
between ground and aviation operations officers, key members of the BCT Staff. The AMCM takes
place immediately after the back brief of the BCT. The end result in the AMCM is the finalized: Air
movement plan, landing plan, air routes, PZs, and LZs.
Air Mission Brief- the AMB
a focused adjunct to the OPORD and where the battalion commander approves the plan. Very difficult to make changes after this brief. Must get approval from commander.
ADRP 1-02
― The proper use of Operational Terms of graphics are important for cross organizational use.
― The terms and graphics should come out of the
Air Defense and Airspace Management (ADAM)
has established links within the theater air ground system, through the next higher airspace
element and up to the airspace control authority (ACA) normally located at an established air
operations center. (FM 3-04 para 2-94)
― Establish/brief coordinating altitudes and ROZ times
― Coordinate with flight routes to make sure proper coordination for ROZ access or de-confliction
is complete.
Forward Arming and Refuel Point (FARP) Plan.
Plan. A FARP is a temporary facility that is organized,
equipped, and deployed to provide fuel and ammunition necessary for the employment of aviation
maneuver units in combat.
Develop and report a Downed Aircraft Recovery Team (DART) plan.
-When sending aircraft on mission
it will require a plan to make sure the aircraft can be recovered no matter the reason
-The purpose is to recover the aircraft with minimal risk to soldiers and equipment involved in the operation. The DART is not the initial reaction force, they
respond only after the downed aircraft has been secured and the crew recovered.
Battle Drill/SOP rehearsal-
a collective action rapidly executed without applying a deliberate decision making process. BD/SOP rehearsal allows all participants to understand a technique or a specific set of procedures
What are the considerations when planning a rehearsal?
Availability of aircraft
ROZ
Restricted Operations Zones (ROZ) may be used to clear airspace for operations.
― ROZs can be used for a variety of uses including and not limited to: C2/FS/UAVs, Special operations forces, IED/Threat.
― Units not participating in the operations should not fly through the area without de-confliction. minimize loss of personnel
Army Aviation conducts air assaults….
in support of offensive, defensive, and stability operations throughout the depth and breadth of the AO. Army Aviation assault and heavy lift units, supported by attack reconnaissance units, rapidly reposition personnel and equipment to enable the combined arms team to strike over extended
distances and terrain to attack the enemy where and when he is most vulnerable.
Air Assault
to move troops and equipment; to engage and destroy enemy forces or to seize and hold key terrain.
Air Movement
Army air movements are operations involving the use of utility and cargo rotary-wing aircraft and operational support fixed-wing assets for other than air assaults. NO
tactical mission involved.
AATF – Air Assault Task Force
the ground or air maneuver commander designated as the AATFC
Ground Tactical Plan
everything revolves around GTP. Task ORG Fire Support Scheme of Maneuver Commander's Intent
Air Mission Commander
Responsible for all aviation operations. In support of the air assault commanders guidance and intent. Commands the flight.
Reverse Planning Sequence
- Ground Tactical Plan
- Landing Plan
- Air movement plan
- Loading plan
- Staging Plan
Deliberate Air Assault Planning timeline standard is
96 hours
Lift, Serial, Chalk
-a lift is composed of 1 or more serials
-example, if the PZ or HLZ can only accommodate only 4 aircraft in a lift of 16 aircraft, it is best to
organize into 4 serials of 4 aircraft each. The use of serials may be necessary to maintain effective
control of aviation assets.
-within a lift of 10 aircraft, there will be chalks 1 through 10. For each lift thereafter, the chalks will be re-numbered 1 through 10 again. Each aircraft is accounted for within each lift.
Air Movement Table
– Contains aircraft allocations.
– Designates number and type of aircraft in each serial.
– Specifies departure point; route to and from loading area; and loading, liftoff, and landing
times.
– Includes the refuel schedule for all lifts if required.

Attack By Fire
uses direct fires, supported by indirect fires, to engage an enemy force without closing with the enemy to destroy…etc
