The AirLand Battle is an extended, integrated battle involving al! air and tand forces. Conventional, nuclear, chemical, and electronic weapons are integrated to attack enemy forces throughout the depth of their formations.

The potential Airland battlefield exists wherever United States forces face relatively modern, well-equipped forces using Soviet tactics and operational concepts. These forces are typified by the Warsaw Pact in Central Europe and the mechanized forces in the Middle East and Korea. The Army and Air Force must be prepared to fight and win by using all available combat power throughout every dimension of the battlefield.
