Due to the capability shortfalls associated with the transformation of the Marine Corps aviation force structure and the challenges associated with a changing security environment, the role of the utility helicopter must evolve to achieve a true multi-mission capability. Through a change in paradigm, the Marine Corps must properly equip the UH-lY to meet these challenges. Conclusion: The current composition of the Marine Corps aviation force structure will remain constant for the next 25 years. The transition of upgraded type model series aircraft within the existing force structure coupled with the constraints of a bureaucratic acquisitions process and the security challenges associated with irregular warfare, security cooperation initiatives and the long war have generated significant capabilities gaps within its operational requirements. The solution will therefore require a timely and fiscally responsible alternative that will involve a paradigm change within existing helicopter doctrine and employment. That solution is the evolution of the utility helicopter into a true multi-role aircraft that possesses the capability, equipment, and versatility to meet the challenges of a changing security environment.
