	FM 1-113 Chapter 3
		Air assaults are those operations in which assault forces (combat, CS, and CSS), using the firepower, mobility, and total integration of helicopter assets, maneuver on the battlefield under the control of the AATFC to engage and destroy enemy forces or seize and hold key terrain.
		Air assaults executed in the deep fight should be planned with a purpose of having some effect on the commander's close battle.
		The OPORD is briefed to the commanders of the assault, medium lift, cavalry, and attack helicopter commanders involved in the air assault.

		There is a touch of irony in the fact that in an era of smart bombs and stealth aircraft, the effectiveness of modern air operations often depends on a relative handful of Air Force specialists who spend most of their time on the ground.
		The Air Force awards the ETAC specialty (which has no officer counterpart) only after an airman has served a long apprenticeship and taken a variety of courses, many of them with the Army.
		Heidal said that while the Air Force does not require such courses, they help the airmen to support the “Army customer.” Airmen working with the airborne forces, for example, have to be jump-qualified, he explained.
