A great number of complex, concurrently progressing, unpredictable factors of influence determine the operations of the ground forces for the foreseeable future. The entirety of these factors creates a highly dynamic operational environment for the Army as the mainstay of land operations and operations in near-ground airspace. The current missions of the Bundeswehr show that the helicopters of the Army Aviation are - and have to be - present in operations almost everywhere as indispensable force multipliers.The air mobility of the Army for the joint benefit of all Services remains thus an indispensable pillar for the armed forces on operations. The Army responds to these challenges, among other things, with an innovative expanded capability, the air mobility of the Army. Air mobility enables the Army to effectively engage targets in and from the air, to quickly achieve local superiority, to flexibly hold reserves at disposal, and to carry out time-critical transport tasks over long distances.
