Vulnerabilities
Assault Support Aircraft
Air Assault Capabilities - - Attack enemy positions from any direction
- Overfly or bypass barriers and obstacles
- Conduct deep attacks and raids beyond the forward line of our own troops
- Conduct fast paced operations over extended distances
- Rapidly concentrate, disperse, or redeploy forces
- Provide responsive reserves
- Rapidly reinforce committed units
- Conduct night terrain flight with the use of night vision devices, which
allows them to locate a landing zone and land without illumination
Air Assault Limitations - - Severe weather, extreme heat and cold
- Reliance on airborne communication
- Reduced ground mobility once inserted
- Limited accessibility to supporting arms, especially indirect fires
- Increased logistical considerations (fuel, maintenance, spare parts,
facilities, and aircraft availability)
Air Assault Vulnerabilities - - Attack by enemy air defense weapons systems during the movement phase
- Attack by NBC systems, because of limited NBC protection and decontamination
- Attacks (ground, air, artillery) during the loading and unloading phases
- Electronic warfare (jamming), due to the heavy reliance on radio
,communications for command and control
Five Stages of Assault Support Planning - Ground Tactical Plan
Landing Plan
Air Movement Plan
Loading Plan
Staging Plan
Ground Tactical Plan - The foundation for a successful assault support operation in the AFC's ground
tacticalplan. The ground tactical plan is developed first and is the basis from which other plansare
derived.
▪Specifies actions in the objective area, which accomplish the mission.
▪Is constructed and conducted with all elements of a typical infantry attack exceptthat it capitalizes on
the speed and mobility of the vertical assault.
Landing Plan - The landing plan in assault support operations consists of the ground
commander'sguidance concerning the desired time, place, and sequence of arrival of units. It
mustsupport the plan taking a number of principles into consideration:
▪LZ selection

Air Movement Plan - Provides for the control and protection of the assault support force during the
airmovement. The air movement plan is primarily the responsibility of the AMC, althoughthe ground
commander also contributes to its development. It specifies when and howtroops, equipment, and
supplies will be transported from PZs to LZs.
Loading Plan - Designed to establish, organize, and control activities in the PZ, plan for the movementof
troops and equipment to the PZ, and establish the priority of loading units. Correctaircraft loading is
essential in maintaining mobility. Loading will be either administrativeor tactical in nature depending on
sit.
, ▪Assign sticks to serials
▪Loads must be ready before air arrives
▪Knowledge of serial and time they are expected to be staged
Staging Plan - Based on the loading plan and prescribes the arrival time of ground troops at the PZ.
▪Assign sticks to serials.
▪Loads must be ready before aircraft arrive at the PZ
▪Each stick needs to know their serial and the time they are to be staged.
