Chapter 7 Enhanced response for downed aircraft in the close fight. Greater security for the attack reconnaissance unit in daytime reconnaissance and security missions. 7-122. Disadvantages of AGTs, also METT-TC dependent, can include: Reduced SA of attack reconnaissance assets at squadron level. Limited ability of the squadron commander to reorient/retask the attack reconnaissance unit. Increased time required to clear fires. Limited knowledge of the attack reconnaissance unit’s sustainment requirements. More difficult squadron-level Army airspace command and control. Increased C2 and liaison requirements at troop level. ATTACK RECONNAISSANCE HELICOPTERS IN STABILITY OPERATIONS 7-123. The attack reconnaissance helicopter unit’s mobility, advanced surveillance and targeting capabilities, and lethality provide the troop commander with a flexible platform for power projection and information acquisition in stability operations. Troops operating in stability operations can expect to be dispersed throughout expansive AOs where it is difficult to maintain a constant ground force presence and effective surveillance. Attached or OPCON attack reconnaissance assets allow the troop to increase its presence in these types of operations. ASSAULT (UTILITY) AND CARGO (LIFT) HELICOPTER SUPPORT 7-124. The Army utility helicopter, the UH-60 Blackhawk, is a general-purpose aircraft with limited carrying capability. It is used for such missions as transport of troops and cargo or MEDEVAC of casualties. The Blackhawk can carry 8,000 pounds of cargo internally, externally, or as a combination of both. 7-125. The Army cargo helicopter, the CH-47D Chinook, has the capacity for carrying loads of greater weight and size than those carried by the utility helicopter. The cargo helicopter can lift heavy, oversized loads, such as artillery and ammunition. With a maximum external load of 26,000 pounds, the Chinook can also recover downed aircraft or vehicles. CAPABILITIES 7-126. During operations, the utility and cargo helicopter unit significantly influences the troop commander’s mission by: Conducting day, night, and limited visibility operations across the AO. Influencing the tempo of friendly operations. Rapidly moving tactical units over great distances from contiguous and non-contiguous areas of operation. Bypassing threat positions and obstacles to achieve surprise. Enhancing the command, control, and communications process. Moving large amounts of supplies and equipment to sustain combat operations. Moving critical repair parts quickly to increase the combat power of the force. Emplacing Volcano minefields to disrupt, delay, turn, or block threat forces. Conducting operations beyond the FLOT. Providing personnel recovery coverage in the AO. Conducting MEDEVAC/CASEVAC and personnel replacement operations. Providing refueling capabilities using wet/fat hawk/fat cow/jump forward arming and refueling points (FARPs). 7-28 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
LIMITATIONS Augmenting Combat Power 7-127. Utility and cargo helicopter units are subject to the following operational limitations: Extreme environmental effects (temperature, altitude) may reduce the capabilities of the aircraft to perform full range of missions. The unit has limited capability to secure unit assembly areas with organic assets. Missions require adequate planning and coordination time to fully capitalize on utility and cargo helicopter assets. The unit may be subjected to inadequate sustainment because of extended range of operations and limited organic sustainment assets. Terrain may limit the availability of adequate PZs and LZs. Helicopters require large amounts of fuel (Class III) and repair parts (Class IX). Some units can provide only a limited number of aircraft to support a combat force. Battlefield obscuration (smoke, dust) degrades utility and cargo helicopter operations. Helicopters require extensive maintenance support for extended operations. AERIAL RESUPPLY 7-128. Aerial resupply operations provide the troop commander with a flexible, responsive means to resupply his force. Although limited by weather and threat air defense systems, aerial resupply enables the commander to bypass congested supply routes, destroyed bridges, and most terrain obstacles to deliver supplies where they are most needed. 7-129. Close coordination must occur between all participants in the aerial resupply operation. They review the entire mission and resolve all limitations and problem areas. If a particular problem cannot be resolved, another mode of transport should be considered. 7-130. The squadron plans for aerial resupply. Planning factors include: Type/amount of cargo to be carried. Helicopter assets available. Sling/cargo net/cargo container requirements. Ground crew training requirements. Selection of the PZ/LZ. Integration into the tactical plan. Priorities of cargo/unit resupply. SECTION IV – ENGINEERS 7-131. Combat engineers increase the effectiveness of troop operations by accomplishing mobility and countermobility tasks. They are integrated with the commander’s maneuver and indirect fires assets to enhance opportunities for the commander to accomplish combined arms missions. Additionally, they may perform reconnaissance and Infantry combat missions when required. General (construction) engineers may employ their technical capabilities to support the troop for specialized missions when close combat is less likely since they are not equipped for combat tasks. Engineer reconnaissance support capabilities include both a tactical and technical focus for combined arms reconnaissance operations. Organic engineer assets in the IBCT are limited. The engineer company is equipped with enough squads to support one squad per rifle company. As such, the DRT will rarely have engineers available to specifically support their reconnaissance efforts. If assets are available, their employment is primarily through application of specialty skills that are not available within the troop. MISSIONS 7-132. The tactical missions of combat engineers correspond to those of IBCT Infantry units. Combat engineer units can operate in restrictive terrain such as forests, jungles, mountains, and urban areas. 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 7-29
