With its ability to maneuver in the aerial dimension, the helicopter provides the operational commander with a degree of flexibility in meeting Joint Vision 2010's requirements for dominant maneuver that ground maneuver forces do not. Because of its unique ability to move quickly over a wide area and to respond quickly during both day and night, the attack helicopter provides the operational commander with a highly flexible maneuver force capable of performing a variety missions across the entire range of military operations. Current initiatives within the Army -- as well as with our allies, are aimed at minimizing the helicopter's vulnerability on the battlefield while maximizing its operational utility. Through organizational restructuring, cooperation with allies, advanced warfighting experiments, and the introduction of new aircraft designed to exploit the digitized battlefield, Army Aviation is committed to providing the operational commander of the future with the capability to dominate any military situation, from an urban fight to high-intensity combat.
