The Operational Art of War II

Tip 1: 
------
Attack helicopters should be used in four cases: 
to screen or anchor exposed flanks, as airborne 
reconnaissance units, as escorts for transport 
helicopters, and to engage enemy armor from long 
range. 

Tip2: 
-----
Remember that from the 1970s and on, most western 
armies have been equipped with advanced night-fighting 
capabilities. As a result, western armies, in particular 
the United States and its NATO allies, are much better 
at conducting round-the-clock operations than eastern 
armies.
