Their use permits the commander to také advantage of the speed and flexibility of Army aircraft in accomplishing a wide variety of tasks. The capability of conducting airmobile operations enables the commander to do the following : (1) Pose a constant threat which may cause the enemy to divert combat forces to maintain a strong posture in rear areas to protect vital installations and hold key terrain. (2) Overcome distances and bypass bar- riers and enemy defenses.
