3-4. AIR ASSAULT ROLES
a. Utility Helicopters. The primary mission of the utility helicopter in the air assault is to move troops. With the
seats installed, the ACL for the UH-60 is 11 combat-loaded soldiers. If the seats are removed, the ACL increases.
Without seats, the UH-60 ACL is dependent on the type of equipment being carried by the troops. For planning
purposes, a UH-60 is capable of transporting approximately 16 combat-loaded troops and 20 without full combat
loads. The combat loads of the soldiers being lifted will determine the actual ACL for the aircraft. Commanders
must consider the risk involved versus mission necessity when deciding whether to operate with or without seats. A
secondary mission for the UH-60 is to transport equipment and supplies. The UH-60s can expect to move external
loads in support of the assault force. UH-60s may also assist cargo helicopters in conducting an artillery raid by
moving artillery or ammunition forward.
b. Cargo Helicopters. The CH-47D helicopter provides the AATFC with a tremendous capability. It can be used to
move troops and equipment in support of the air assault. In a troop carrying mode the CH-47D can transport up to
31 combat-loaded troops. The CH-47D provides the AATFC the ability to move large amounts of equipment.
Missions for the cargo helicopters include artillery raids designed to reposition artillery in support of the air assault,
assaulting TOW mounted HMMWVs into designated LZs to support the ground tactical plan, and conducting
resupply operations in support of the air assault. Equipment can often be transported as internal or external cargo.
3-5. AIR ASSAULT TASK FORCE KEY PERSONNEL
a. Air Assault Task Force Commander. The AATFC is normally the infantry brigade or battalion commander
whose units form the predominance of forces in the AATF. Under certain instances, the force commander may
designate the aviation battalion commander as the AATFC. This would most likely occur during rear area air
assaults or in SASO. In this instance the ground maneuver unit, the supporting artillery, and attack/cavalry
helicopter assets will be placed under the OPCON of the aviation battalion commander. The AATFC commands
the air assault and is overall responsible for its planning and execution. Since an air assault requires detailed
planning, the AATFC should be the commander of the unit one level above that conducting the mission. For
example, for a battalion sized air assault, the brigade commander should be the AATFC, and the battalion
commander would be the AATFC for a company sized air assault.
b. Air Assault Task Force Staff. The staff of the AATFC is responsible for planning the air assault operation. The
AATF staff has the responsibility for developing the air assault in conjunction with the infantry unit being assaulted
and the assault helicopter unit. The AATF staff works closely with the assaulting force headquarters to develop the
air assault to support the assault force commander's intent and scheme of maneuver. The AATF staff has the
responsibility for synchronizing all elements of the combined arms team and providing the resources to the air
assault force to successfully conduct the operation.
c. Air Mission Commander. The supporting helicopter unit provides an AMC. For air assaults involving all, or
most, of the battalion assets, the battalion commander should be the AMC. For air assaults conducted by a
company within the aviation battalion, the battalion commander may designate a company commander or platoon
leader to be the AMC. Figure 3-1 outlines selection criteria for the AATFC and the AMC. The AMC--
l   Receives and executes the AATFC's guidance and intent.
l   Ensures that all aviation units (assault, cargo, attack, cavalry) conduct air operations according to the AMB.
l   Coordinates actions during the mission and synchronizes cavalry, attack, quickfix, and artillery assets as required.

Advises the AATFC on any situation that might require him to adjust the air assault scheme of maneuver and
recommends changes as required to take advantage of aircraft capabilities.

Designates a flight lead, serial commanders (if required), an LNO (if not already designated), and a planning cell (if
necessary) to the AATF headquarters.
