This essay recommends the establishment of an Army Aviation Strike Force (ASF) consisting of a mobile airborne Command and Control platform, AH-64 Longbow Apaches, RAH-66 Comanche's, and tactical UAV's. The ASF will be a highly mobile, early entry unit designed for rapid strategic deployment worldwide. The capabilities of the ASF will include: joint and combined mobile C2, battlefield synchronization, precision attack, multi-target destruction, anti-armor/tank, stealth armed reconnaissance, unmanned aerial reconnaissance, counter-air, and tactical missile defense. The ASF is designed to provide the National Command Authority with a new joint and combined air mechanized decisive force capability. The Aviation Strike Force should be developed in conjunction with the Army's Force XXI program.
