• W2563849325 abstract "[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Arguably, there is no greater commitment of U.S. military resources than an invasion of a sovereign country. Known as joint forcible entry, this type of operation aims to seize and hold lodgments against armed opposition. (1) A lodgment may be a beachhead, an airfield, or anything that allows for continuous landing of troops and materiel, and that provides maneuver space for subsequent (2) There are several methods for delivering the invasion force--amphibious landing, air assault, ground, or airborne assault--and each can be used in various combinations as the situation requires. Of these options, only airborne assault provides national command authority with the ability to deliver a battalion in eighteen hours, or a brigade combat team (BCT) in ninety-six hours, from U.S. soil to anywhere in the world. The relevance of airborne units was called into question by Dr. Marc R. Devore's 2015 publication When Failure Thrives: Institutions and the Evolution of Postwar Airborne Forces. Devore argues that U.S. airborne forces have outlived their relevance, that it is not practical to employ airborne forces against a nearpeer competitor, and that the cost of maintaining this capability is not worth the benefits. (3) I do not attempt to argue directly against Devore's study but rather to show that airborne units can be relevant if they employ a new way of conducting an airborne assault as part of a forcible entry operation. Devore asserts that an organization's ability to innovate is contingent upon its willingness to dismantle or otherwise abandon elements of its existing structure and operational and in that regard, I agree. (4) To make airborne assault more relevant, we must abandon existing procedures and embrace a new, effective way of employing the airborne brigade's organic reconnaissance squadron during joint forcible entry. Effectiveness of Airborne Assault As the land force component of a joint task force conducting forcible entry, the Airborne Division is the proponent for developing and training procedures for airborne assault. Unfortunately, the way the plans, rehearses, and trains for airborne assault is outdated. The standard by which the Army's five airborne brigades conduct an airborne assault fails to employ the BCTs organic reconnaissance squadron to its full potential. (5) For example, at the time this article was written, an operation plan (OPLAN) developed by the 82nd's G-5 (assistant chief of staff, plans) and used as the planning and training template for airborne assault at the brigade level had placed the reconnaissance squadron in a defensive position for most of the operation. (6) The current 82nd Airborne Division Airfield Seizure Standard Operating Procedure, derived from this OPLAN and other institutional documents, does not even mention the reconnaissance squadron. (7) Fortunately, these shortcomings are an opportunity not only to update standard operating procedures (SOPs), plans, and training guidelines but also to revisit the challenging problem of fully integrating the reconnaissance squadron into the joint fight during a forcible entry operation. According to current practice, the reconnaissance squadron conducts an airborne assault without the majority of its vehicles--that is, during the assault phase of a forcible entry. The squadron relies on those vehicles to arrive later, on heavy-drop parachute platforms or on aircraft that land after an airhead is secure. Because the squadron is task-organized with two mounted troops and one dismounted reconnaissance troop, essentially two-thirds of the squadron's combat power is unavailable during initial combat operations. This practice deprives the ground force commander of a unique asset. By design, the reconnaissance squadron can quickly reconnoiter more area than an infantry battalion, and it can provide more persistent surveillance from a ground perspective than modern unmanned aerial vehicles. …" @default.
