•The primary difference between an air movement and an air assault is that an air assault
links a specific ground tactical plan to the aerial movement of the assault force. Air
movements are planned and executed with the same rigor and precision as air assaults
because they enable the ground force commander to sustain the tempo of operations,
extend tactical reach, overcome complex terrain, and sustain operations to maintain a
position of relative advantage over the enemy. - ANSWER ---
•Types of Air Movement
•Non-Tactical: Ring route and normal battlefield circulation (administrative)
•Tactical: Pre-staging of troops for up coming operations (combat related) - ANSWER --
-
Air movement missions: - ANSWER •Resupply (Hub-and-spoke, point-to-point)
•Sling Loads
•Volcano
•Aerial C2
•FARP (Fat Cow, Fat Hawk)
•CASEVAC
Air assault is
•The movement of friendly assault forces by rotary-wing or tilt rotor aircraft to engage and
destroy enemy forces or to seize and hold key terrain at an unexpected time and place.
•Precisely planned (IAW FM 3-99) and vigorously executed combat operation -

1
, What capabilities does an Air Assault Provide? - ANSWER •Attack enemy positions
from any direction.
•Rapidly place forces at tactically decisive points in the area of operation.
•Conduct fast-paced operations over extended distances.
•Rapidly secure and defend key terrain (such as crossing sites, road junctions, and bridges)
or key objectives.
•Rapidly secure and defend key terrain (such as crossing sites, road junctions, and bridges)
or key objectives.
What limitations affect an Air Assault? - ANSWER Weather, Communication, Threat,
Availability of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear protection and decontamination
capability.
What are some of the AirAssault vulnerabilities? - ANSWER They often are separated
from weapon systems, equipment, and materiel that provide protection
