Book Description
The success of attack helicopter operations depends, to a great extent, on the ability of the logistical system to support these operations. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the ability of an attack helicopter battalion to resupply itself with fuel and ammunition. The scenario used in the study considered one attack helicopter battalion, equipped with the AH-64 helicopter, engaged in an anti-armor mission in an European environment. It utilized a three-FARP system to re-arm and refuel its attack helicopter companies. The scenario only depicted the battalion resupplying itself with its own organic truck assets. A model depicting the battalion logistical system and its employment of the attack helicopter companies was constructed using SLAM, a special purpose simulation language, with FORTRAN inserts. This model depicted the movement of convoys to and from a brigade support area, where they picked up fuel and ammunition, the dispersal of these supplies to the FARPs, and the use of fuel and ammunition by the attack helicopter companies. The results identified those elements of the system, which had the greatest impact on the battalion's ability to operate. They also illustrated the effect of operating at extended distances and the impact of vehicle attrition on the three-FARP system. Keywords: Attack helicopters, Logistics, Simulation.

Airmobility 1961-1971
Author: Ltg John J. TolsonPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1105081699
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
This is the exciting story of the development of U.S. airmobile power from theory to practice, involving air transport, fixed wing aircraft, and attack helicopters culminating in Vietnam War operations. It includes analysis of airmobile combat operations; doctrinal and interservice disputes; equipment descriptions; and the organization of combat and support units. It also includes data about airmobility in South Vietnam's army and it features personal reflections of the author, who was at the center of airmobility development and who commanded large airmobile units. John J. Tolson in June 1939 participated in the first tactical air movement of ground forces by the U.S. Army. He was in all combat jumps of the 503d Parachute Infantry Regiment during World War II, became an Army aviator in 1957, and served as Director of Army Aviation and Commandant of the Army Aviation School. From April 1967 to July 1968 he commanded the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile), Vietnam. (Includes many maps and photographs)
Deep Maneuver

Book Description
Volume 5, Deep Maneuver: Historical Case Studies of Maneuver in Large-Scale Combat Operations, presents eleven case studies from World War II through Operation Iraqi Freedom focusing on deep maneuver in terms of time, space and purpose. Deep operations require boldness and audacity, and yet carry an element of risk of overextension - especially in light of the independent factors of geography and weather that are ever-present. As a result, the case studies address not only successes, but also failure and shortfalls that result when conducting deep operations. The final two chapters address these considerations for future Deep Maneuver.

Integrating Operational Energy Implications Into System-level Combat Effects Modeling

Pages : 0
Book Description
The RAND National Defense Research Institute assessed the potential impact that fielding the five Army vehicle modernization programs would have on the operational energy requirements of combat, combat support, and combat service support forces. The modernization programs planned at the start of the research were the Ground Combat Vehicle (since cancelled), the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle, the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, the Paladin Integrated Management program vehicle, and the Modular Fuel System. The authors developed and applied a methodology that leveraged detailed combat effectiveness models to account for the operational energy needs associated with supporting combat missions.
