This publication describes the organizational structure of the attack helicopter battalion and discusses its doctrinal and tactical employment on the modern battlefield. Techniques are briefly described to further illustrate employment of the battalion. Appendixes A through G provide supplemental information on attack planning and terrain analysis, air combat operations, deep operations, NBC operations, suppression of enemy air defense, unit movement, and risk management. Appendix H is an example of a command post annex to a tactical SOP. Appendix I contains information on target coordination and laser designation, and Appendix J provides informa- tion on Kiowa Warrior employment. The L-series TOE serves as the basis for the units discussed. This publication is based on the doctrinal and tactical employment principles outlined in FMs 1-100, 1-111, 71-100, 100-5, and 100-15.
