What's inside:

This manual provides information on the mission, structure, and operations of the Aviation Support Battalion (ASB). It outlines the functions and operations of the battalion staff and subordinate units. It also describes the interface between parallel units; Forward Support Battalions (FSBs) and supporting units; Main Support Battalion (MSB) and Division Support Command (DISCOM) and the ASB.

This manual is based on doctrine in FMs 1-100, 1-500, 100-5, and 100-10. At press time the ASB is authorized only in the Army’s heavy divisions. Under the Aviation Restructuring Initiative(ARI) ASBs will also be added to the support structure of the light and airborne divisions. Although the TOE will differ between the light and heavy division ASBs, the doctrine and support concepts detailed in this field manual will remain basically the same.

A wide range of publications supports this field manual by providing details of specific combat service support (CSS) functional areas. The publications referred to throughout the manual are listed in the references.
