PREFACE

The operational concepts in this manual are based on Army doctrine as established in FM 100-5, Operations, and FM 1-100, Army Aviation Operations.

FM 1-111 is a doctrinal guide for employing aviation brigades in combat operations and stability and support operations (SASO). It describes echelon above corps (EAC), corps, and division aviation brigade organizational structures within the framework of the Aviation Restructure Initiative (ARI). It also describes battle command, joint and combined arms operations, and combat service support.

Appendix A discusses considerations for attaching ground forces to the aviation brigade. Appendix B discusses risk management. Appendix C describes aviation operations in a nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) environment. Appendix D provides the framework and planning considerations for conducting combat search and rescue (CSAR) operations. Appendix E addresses planning considerations for the deployment of aviation units. Appendix F addresses SASO (formerly operations other than war [OOTW] or military operations other than war [MOOTW]). Appendix G provides a deep operations planning checklist. Appendix H covers environmental awareness and compliance. Appendix I discusses shipboard operations. Appendix J discusses FARP operations in detail and replaces FM 1-104. Appendix K discusses Army special operations aviation (ARSOA). Appendix L addresses mine warfare awareness.
