The primary purpose of this manual is to present and discuss battlefield countermeasures, techniques, procedures, and concepts that enhance the survivability of Army aviation units in a high threat environment. This publication should be used as a guide for developing unit tactics and techniques, to avoid detection and destruction by hostile forces; and as an aid in formulating unit standing operating procedures (SOP) and training plans. Aviation unit personnel should use this publication to become familiar with aircraft survivability equipment and techniques and how these can be integrated into training and combat operations to increase aviation unit staying power in the face of a highly sophisticated enemy threat.
