A previous study--titled Aviation Materiel Combat Ready In-Country (AMCRIC)--was provided as a basis to develop a concept to preposition Army aircraft in US Army Europe. This study recognized that aircraft are not authorized as war reserve, and that no aircraft are currently included in POMCUS in Europe. To adequately reinforce NATO, some method had to be devised to allow Army aircraft to be immediately available to a deploying combat force. The project considered: (a) Methods available to accomplish prepositioning of Army helicopters and ancillary systems; (b) South Vietnam Army aviation experience in combat; (c) State-of-the-art storage methods by US Government, foreign governments, and commercial contractors; and (d) Major command interfaces within the US Army that will be required to establish a workable concept. The project results were that US Army has the capability to store helicopters for short periods using on-hand resources; and The Vice Chief of Staff, Army, approved a prepositioning concept developed which will store helicopters in USAREUR on a test bed basis using AH-1S helicopters.
