Army Special Operations Aviation and LSCO

摘要

In the 40 years since Desert One and Operation Eagle claw, U.S. Special Operations Aviation (ARSOA) has led Army Aviation in the development of capabilities and tactics, techniques and procedures that are used throughout the Aviation Branch today. ARSOA's OPTEMPO remains high, with every Combatant Command (COCOM) persistently requesting these units' unique capabilities. Capabilities that provide the joint force a range of options, including multi-national exercises and conducting multilateral or unilateral special operations with absolute precision. Moreover, the unique capabilities of ARSOA will be invaluable in Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). They will have a key role in penetration, dis-integration, and exploitation for our maneuver forces in multi-domain operations (MDO). We must continuously learn, anticipate and evolve to address the known and uncertain threats in a multi-domain environment. Over the next decade-plus, we will face complex challenges that will test the mettle of Army Aviation Special Operations and our Combat Aviation Brigades.
