The basic question is whether or not attack helicoptesr assigned to units of the strategic reserve are capable of performing anti-armor support to NATO. The status of units assigned to USAREUR, active units in CONUS, and units of the Army National Guard was examined. The growing armor threat of the Warsaw Pact presents an unprecedented challenge to NATO and NATO's ability to respond is repeatedly questioned. The attack helicopter provides a primary means of response. It is concluded that added emphasis needs to be palced on insuring that the total force is capable of integrating with USAREUR units and systems. There are deficiencies which prevent over 24% of the US Army attack helicopter fleet from performing an anti-armor role. Initiatives to assist in correcting these deficiencies are recommended.
