(TEAM) |
| Marine assault support aircraft provides | provide air mobility for personnel, supplies and equipment, combat utility support, Close Air Support (CAS), and other air support for the landing force during ship-to-shore movement. |
| Tiltrotor aircraft are employed to | employed to deliver troops, equipment, and supplies to areas beyond the range limitations of the helicopter. |

| HMM mission essential tasks include | 1) av ops from expeditionary sea-based sites 2) av ops from expeditionary shore-based sites 3) Air delivery, evacuation, trap, combat assault transport 4) Conduct rapid insertion / extraction |
| 1)support the MAGTF commander during expeditionary, Joint, or combined operations. 2)assault support transport of heavy equipment, combat troops, and supplies. performed day/night all weather conditions. 3) only heavy-lift asset for the Marine Corps. | The mission of the HMH squadron |
| The HMH mission essential tasks include: | 1) av ops from expeditionary sea-based sites 2) av ops from expeditionary shore-based sites 3) Air delivery, evacuation, trap, combat assault transport 4) Conduct rapid insertion / extraction 5) Provide aviation-delivered ground refueling |
| provide aerial refueling service in support of Fleet Marine Force (FMF) air operations. Its also provides assault air transport for personnel, equipment, and supplies. | The mission of the Marine Aerial Refueler / Transport (VMGR) squadron |
| VMGR mission essential tasks include | 1) Conduct aviation operations from expeditionary shore-based sites 2) Conduct combat assault transport/air delivery 3)Conduct air refueling 4)Provide aviation-delivered ground refueling 5)battlefield illumination |
| 1) support the MAGTF commander during expeditionary, Joint, or combined operations. 2) provide Offensive Air Support (OAS), utility support, armed escort, and airborne supporting arms coordination. 3)day/night/all wx. | The mission of the HMLA squadron |
| The HMLA mission essential tasks include: | 1)av ops from expeditionary shore-based sites 2)av ops from expeditionary sea-based sites 2)CAS 3) AI 4) AR 5) SCAR 6) FAC 7) aerial escort 8) TRAP 9) AAW 10) Air Defense |
| Fixed-wing aircraft provide the following: | Medical evacuation Airborne command and control Battlefield illumination Air-to-Air Refueling (AAR) Close Air Support (Harvest Hawk) (MCARB) |
| Fixed-wing operations | employed to deliver troops, equipment, and supplies to areas beyond the range and lift capacity of fixed and tilt rotor aircraft. |
| Allocation of assault support assets are determined by a number of factors. They normally include: | Aircraft availability Lift requirements Aircraft capabilities Threat analysis Escort and fire support requirements Time, space, and logistical requirements Unit proficiency level (CPLATE) |
| When determining asset allocation, consider: | Ground considerations Air considerations |
| Ground considerations and responsibilities for the Ground Combat Element (GCE) shall: | 1)tactical integrity of units 2) equipment to be air-transported 3) equipment to be assigned to rear and follow-up echelons 3) air movement plans and forms (Air Assault Support Landing Table [AASLT]) (TARP) |

| Helicopter / tilt rotor limitations | 1) Greater logistic support requiredl 2)Noise may compromise position 3) Operations are degraded during bad wx.4) Lift capabilities are affected by alt/hum/temp. 5)loads require careful calculation 6) vulnerable to weapons. LNWLLW |
| KC-130 Capabilities | 1) Rapid Ground Refueling (RGR) 2)can fly 200 nm, land short. 3)DASC OPS 4) has its own radar for terminal guidance. 5) battlefield illumination. 5) deliver 58,000 lbs of fuel |
| KC-130 limitations | Requires escort or needs to stand off. |
| The principal advantage of assault support is | capability to quickly move MAGTF forces and equipment throughout the battlespace |
| Advantages of assault support: | capability to move forces, observation, and flexibility |
| Assault support limitations | Limited visibility Weather Landing Zone (LZ) identification Reduced radius of action Communications Enemy defenses Required escort support (CREWLV) |
| Assault support operations allow the commander to | maintain an advantage in speed and surprise over the enemy. can drive the fight in the desired direction. can shape events using assault support to create favorable conditions for future combat operations |
| Efficient execution of assault support operations requires thorough knowledge of | Mission, Enemy, Terrain and Weather, Troops, and Support Available-Time Available (METT-T) planning considerations. |
| Allows Marine Aircraft to: Conduct flight ferrying operations, extend time on station, extend mission range | Air to Air Refuelling |
| TRAP missions stress the following: | Detailed Planning, Assigned and briefed aircrews, confirmation of survivors and locations (PAC) |
| provides mobility for MAGTF forces. Rapidly deploys forces, bypasses obstacles, or redeploys forces to meet enemy threat. provides the MAGTF commander options. allows the MAGTF commander to effect a rapid buildup at time and location of his choosing. | Combat Assault Support |
| transport equipment and supplies to Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) or remote areas. Airdrops (parachute or free fall) deliver equipment and supplies. | Air Delivery |
| Conducted when surface or helicopter transport cannot fulfill resupply requirements due to range, closed communications lines, lack of adequate airfields, prohibitive ground tactical situation, high tonnage, or the need to reduce response time | Airdrops |
| Best Drop Zone is what? | close to an area with ample cover and concealment. This allows materiel recovery, segregation, inventory, and preparation for distribution without exposing personnel to enemy observation or fire |
| TRAP missions are conducted only when: | survivors and their locations are confirmed. |
| delivers troops, equipment, and supplies to areas beyond helicopter range and lift capability or when surface transportation is slow or unavailable. | Air logistical support |
