A New Era

摘要

More than two years after the completion of Operation Herrick in Afghanistan, Joint Helicopter Command (JHC) and its subordinate rotary and fixed-wing units are as busy as ever training hard for future conflict. During the years of the campaign in Afghanistan, JHC knew who its main opponents were, understood the broad profile of its missions and could plan logistics and training requirements with some certainty. The situation has changed markedly and militaries around the world are now operating within an operational climate which requires a different approach and mindset. JHC and its subordinate units are therefore preparing for future operations in a much broader range of environments working alongside allies.
