AirLand battle Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
AirLand doctrine was introduced in the U.S. and NATO armed forces in the early 1980s to more fully integrate land and air components. The point of AirLand doctrine is to stop second-echelon forces from reinforcing the enemy by attacking these forces at choke points. The land components fight the first-echelon enemies and the air units attack the second-echelon forces behind the lines. The enemy is attacked at chokepoints because its location is otherwise unpredictable due to his maneuvers. Natural choke points would be bridges and tunnels.During the Gulf War the road to Basra was turned into a chokepoint by bombing boths sides of the convoys first. Thus creating the Highway of Death.
