Chapter 7 Table 7-6. Attack reconnaissance aviation capabilities and limitations CAPABILITIES LIMITATIONS Terrain-independent maneuver. Addition of speed, agility, and depth to operations. Increased tempo of operations. Digital connectivity. Enhanced optics in an elevated observation platform. Video reconnaissance. Long-range direct fire. Precision guided munitions. Enhanced fires. Enhanced night survivability. Degraded limited visibility capabilities. Lack of detailed reconnaissance. Limited station times. Crew endurance. Aircraft maintenance requirements. Inability to retain terrain. Increased Class III/V requirements. Forward arming and refueling point survivability. Weather conditions. Assembly area survivability. Reaction time from decreased readiness condition. Survivability in close operations. AIR-GROUND INTEGRATION IN RECONNAISSANCE TROOP OPERATIONS 7-113. The DRT commander and subordinate leaders may employ attack reconnaissance assets as a maneuver force. To achieve effective air-ground integration, they must consider basic fundamentals that enhance overall effectiveness and ensure attack reconnaissance assets are synchronized with troop operations. These fundamentals include the following: Understanding capabilities and limitations of attack reconnaissance assets. Adhering to TACSOP. Employing effective C2. Maximizing available assets. Synchronizing efforts of air and ground forces. Standing Operating Procedures 7-114. Although it is difficult to establish habitual working relationships with aviation elements that are not organic to the squadron, TACSOP should, where possible, be established to provide a common basis for more efficient air-ground integration. Applicable TACSOP considerations include, but are not limited to, the following: Common terminology. Conditions for air-ground team (AGT) employment. Specialized task organizations. Roles and responsibilities for planning and preparation. Air-ground coordination checklists. BHO checklists. Air passage of lines procedures. Recognition signals. Fratricide prevention procedures. Clearance of fires procedures. Liaison requirements. Reporting procedures. Communications architecture. Movement techniques. Actions on contact drills. Battle drills. 7-26 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
Command and Control Augmenting Combat Power 7-115. There are two methods for controlling air and ground operations. These are squadron control and AGT control. In both methods, control rests with the commander who owns the terrain upon which the operation is executed. Squadron Control 7-116. With the squadron control method, the attack reconnaissance commanders operate on the squadron command net and can coordinate detailed actions with the troops on the attack reconnaissance or ground troop command nets. The squadron commander ensures the focus of the attack reconnaissance units remains synchronized. He clarifies coordination and issues orders to units as necessary. At the same time, this method never precludes cross-talk between troops and attack reconnaissance units. 7-117. Advantages of squadron control include: Enhanced SA at the squadron level. Additional flexibility for the squadron as the situation develops. Enhanced squadron awareness of attack reconnaissance unit’s sustainment status. Reduced C2 requirements for the ground troop commander. Streamlined reporting and fires requests. Reduced planning, liaison, and rehearsal requirements at troop level. Increased tempo of squadron-level operations. Ease in establishing and executing the squadron-level <strong>Army</strong> airspace C2 plan. 7-118. Disadvantages of squadron control include: Degraded SA below the troop/attack reconnaissance unit level. More difficult air-ground synchronization at the troop/attack reconnaissance unit level. Greater potential for fratricide. More difficult clearance of direct and mortar fires. More difficult air passage of lines. Increased difficulty in RHO and target handover. Increased traffic on the squadron command net. Air-Ground Team Control 7-119. The second method of C2, the formation of AGTs, is a temporary relationship to deal with a specific situation. Operational control is the command relationship used. Air-ground teams are best employed when decentralized troop operations are required. Operations that can be enhanced by the formation of AGTs include route reconnaissance, area/zone reconnaissance, reconnaissance in force, screens, and area security. Control can be exercised by either the ground troop commander or the attack reconnaissance unit commander. 7-120. Control by the ground troop is appropriate when ground reconnaissance owns the AO. Control by the attack reconnaissance unit is appropriate when that unit owns the AO. 7-121. The advantages of forming AGTs are METT-TC dependent. They can include: Enhanced SA below the troop/attack reconnaissance unit level. The squadron commander’s ability to weight the main effort. Enhanced reconnaissance and security operations. Decentralized operations. Streamlined clearance of direct and mortar fires in the close fight. The troop’s enhanced ability to observe mortar fires. Reduced traffic on the squadron command net. The attack reconnaissance unit’s ability to provide enhanced C2 and observation for the DRT over extended distances. 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 7-27
