Figure 1-12. Light utility aviation battalion
g. Regimental Aviation Squadron, Assault Helicopter Troop. The assault troop of the ACR
provides the regimental commander with a highly mobile, flexible, and responsive force. This unit
can conduct a wide variety of combat, CS, and CSS missions. This troop provides the regiment
with the ability to conduct limited air assaults, air movement operations, CASEVAC, and C2
operations. The assault troop of the RAS consists of a troop headquarters and three platoons of five
UH-60s.
1-4. CAPABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS OF UTILITY AND CARGO HELICOPTERS
a. Capabilities. While conducting combat, CS and CSS operations, the utility and cargo helicopter
unit significantly influences the commander's fight by--
(1) Conducting day, night, and limited visibility combat, CS, and CSS operations across the
entire length and width of the battlefield and in SASO.
(2) Conducting operations against an enemy force from multiple directions.
(3) Influencing the tempo of friendly operations.
(4) Rapidly moving tactical units over great distances during close, deep, and rear
operations.
(5) Bypassing enemy positions, barriers, and obstacles to achieve surprise.
(6) Enhancing the C3 process.
(7) Moving large amounts of supplies and equipment to sustain combat operations.
(8) Moving critical repair parts quickly to increase the combat power of the force.

(9) Emplacing Volcano minefields to disrupt, delay, turn, or block enemy forces.
(10) Conducting operations beyond the FLOT.
(11) Providing CSAR coverage in the AO.
(12) Conducting CASEVAC and personnel replacement operations (transporting
replacements forward).
(13) Providing refuel capability using Fat Hawk/Fat Cow.
(14) Performing DART.
b. Limitations. Utility and cargo helicopter units are subject to operating limitations that the
commander must consider when planning the employment of the utility unit. These limitations are
as follows:
(1) The extreme environmental effects (temperature, altitude) may reduce the capabilities of
the aircraft to perform the full range of missions.
(2) The unit has limited capability to secure unit AAs with organic assets.
(3) Missions require adequate planning and coordination time to fully capitalize on utility
helicopter assets.
(4) The unit may be subjected to inadequate CS/CSS because of its extended range of
operations and limited organic logistics support.
(5) Terrain may limit the availability of adequate PZs and LZs.
(6) Helicopters require large amounts of fuel (class III) and repair parts (class IX).
(7) Some units can provide a limited number of aircraft to support a large combat force.
(8) Battlefield obscuration (smoke, dust) can have a detrimental effect on utility helicopter
operations.
(9) Crew endurance and crew sustainment cycle affects continuous operations. Based on risk
reduction measures taken by the commander, there are planning methods that allow for
24-hour support without affecting crew endurance cycles.
(10) Cargo helicopters have a large, unsupressed IR signature that makes them vulnerable to
IR missiles.
(11) Helicopters require extensive maintenance support for extended operations.

CHAPTER 2
BATTLE COMMAND
Battle command may be the most difficult and the most important ingredient for successful utility and
cargo helicopter operations. This chapter discusses the duties of the aviation commander and staff,
command post operations, the decision making process, and communications.
2-1. COMMAND AND CONTROL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
a. Commander. The utility and cargo helicopter commander is responsible for the overall success
of unit operations. He receives missions from higher headquarters, decides how his assets are to be
employed, and directs the execution of operational plans. The commander must position himself
during planning and execution in a location that will ensure success of the mission. At times, the
commander of the utility and cargo unit may conduct liaison functions, ensuring that his assets are
being used to their maximum capabilities by the supported unit. During mission execution the
commander must position himself to provide command, control, and support to his committed
assets to ensure their success. The commander maintains control and directs actions by--
l Issuing specific orders.
l Issuing guidance and commander's intent to the staff that directs their planning efforts.
l Developing an estimate based on METT-T.
l Allocating available resources to accomplish tasks.
