I HELICOPTERS ADDED
;T0 ARMY; USED IK
COMBAT, LOGISTICS
I -
I Transport companies equipped
! with helicopters designed for army
■ combat operations and logistical
support are being organized for use
in corps, divisions and smaller tact
ical units, it is announced by the
Department of the Army.
Each company will be equipped
, with 23 helicopters. Two of the
aircraft will be used for command
and reconnaissance purposes. The
other helicopters will be of the light
cargo type for transport of men,
equipment and supplies.
Organization of units with heli
copters is expected to add speed and
! flexibility to army tactical oper
ations since the aircraft may be
| utilized for rapid transport and de
I scent capabilities. Ability to hover
[ and land or take off without pre
i pared landing areas will meet situ
ations which would not permit the
use of conventional aircraft.
Helicopter-equipped companies, it
is anticipated, will facilitate river
crossings and special types of oper
ations whfch may be required for
arctic, amphibious, mountain and
jungle warfare where movement of
vehicles on the ground can be ex
tremely difficult. The use of these
aircraft for air transport in the field
of small unit tactics will also open
new cohcepts of operations in
, rmjnd combat since they will af
ford greater mobility behind our
front lines in the combat zone.
In authorizing the use of helicop
[ ters, or aircraft of similar charac
teristics, for transport companies,
the army stated that it visualized
their employment somewhat as
“flying jeeps” or "flying two and a
half ton trucks.”
j Helicopters will supplement and
I replace, in part, the army's vehic
I ular transport. It is considered a
j logical step in the modernization
I and improvement of organic army
j transport.
In the past, the army has employ
ed organic aircraft for reconnais
i sance and field artillery control. A
I portion of funds for research and
development purposes has been ear
marked for improving rotary-swing
aircraft and other aircraft with
similar characteristics which can be
used effectively by the army in
combat operations.
