Chapter 7 Capitalize on intelligence-gathering capabilities. Suppress threat weapons and acquisition means. Exploit firepower, mobility, and surprise. Mass forces. Use terrain for survivability. Displace forward elements frequently. Maintain flexibility. Exercise staying power. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS 7-103. The squadron staff plans aviation missions. Planning considerations for operations that include aviation assets are similar to those of any other tactical operation. The two primary factors are the higher commander’s intent and METT-TC factors. At the same time, others factors, such as sustainment and risk analysis, must be integrated from the start. Two specific areas in the planning process are of critical importance to the troop: requesting procedures for aviation support and integrating aviation and ground forces. 7-104. The troop requests aviation support through the squadron, which requests through the IBCT aviation element. 7-105. The squadron staff plans the integration of aviation and ground forces. The planning for such operations capitalizes on the strengths of each combat system. In whichever role the aviation assets are used, the plan is all-encompassing and ensures coordination of effort. All planning begins with the ground tactical plan. Army aviation assets are integrated into the plan, coordinated, and controlled by the reconnaissance squadron staff under the squadron commander’s guidance. Planning considerations include: Ground tactical plan. Landing plan factors, including: Location and size of LZs. Troop is most vulnerable during landing. Multiple insertions require multiple LZs. Troop elements must land with tactical integrity. Soldiers are easily disoriented if not briefed when landing direction changes. There may not be any other friendly units in the area; the troop must be prepared for enemy in any direction. Landing plan should be flexible with several options available. Fire support must be planned, (artillery, naval gunfire, CAS, and attack helicopters). Organic 60-mm mortars may be brought into the LZ early if the LZ is beyond supporting fires. Resupply and MEDEVAC is done by air. 7-106. Marking of friendly positions and targets is an indispensable aspect of planning and must be considered thoroughly regardless of the time available to the ground and air commanders. The proximity of friendly forces to targets makes positive identification and accurate marking of friendly units and targets a critical factor in avoiding fratricide while maximizing responsive aerial fires. Aircrews must be able to easily observe and identify ground signals and marking methods. The signals and marking methods—or combination of these means—must be based on items commonly carried by ground maneuver units, must be acquirable by the night vision or thermal imaging systems on the aircraft, and must be recognizable by the aircrews. AVIATION MISSIONS 7-107. Aviation missions generally fall within three categories: attack/reconnaissance, utility, or enabling. 7-24 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
ATTACK/RECONNAISSANCE MISSIONS 7-108. Aviation attack and reconnaissance missions include the following: Reconnaissance. Area. Route. Zone. Surveillance. Security. Screen, guard, and cover (if applicable). Aerial security. Convoy security. Area security. Movement to contact. Attack. Close combat attack. Interdiction attack. UTILITY/CARGO MISSIONS 7-109. Aviation utility/cargo missions include the following: Air assault. Air movement. Aerial resupply. Aerial CASEVAC. Aerial MEDEVAC. Personnel recovery. C2 support. ENABLING MISSIONS 7-110. Aviation enabling missions include the following: Air traffic services. Forward arming and refueling point operations. Aviation maintenance. Downed aircraft recovery. ATTACK RECONNAISSANCE SUPPORT Augmenting Combat Power 7-111. Attack reconnaissance assets can be placed under OPCON of the squadron; therefore, the squadron, troops, and platoons must establish close working relationships with attack reconnaissance units whenever possible. Through mobility and speed, attack reconnaissance assets give the ground commander added flexibility, increasing the speed with which reconnaissance is conducted. EMPLOYMENT CONSIDERATIONS 7-112. The primary mission of attack reconnaissance in support of the troop is conducting reconnaissance. Table 7-6 summarizes the capabilities and limitations of attack reconnaissance assets. 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 7-25
