Army Airmindedness

As the United States military faces budgetary and congressional mandates to become more jointly oriented, the services are forced to find Joint tactical and operational links that will help the President and his advisors meet national strategic objectives. Aviation is one of the few Army combat arms branches that is inherently joint in both attitude and expression. Army Aviation personnel learn early how to equip, organize and view the battlefield from a three dimensional perspective and understand joint employment due to the battlespace from which they fight. Army Aviators can serve as role models of jointness that the rest of the services can emulate.
