Australian Army Aviation Corps

[rattle and hum]

Three sadly all too predictable unproductive posts in response to Bushranger's VERY sensible post.

Statements such as those expressed by BR71 must be supported with fact and tested. I don’t doubt his historical recollections though.

BR71 stated that ARH should be transferred to Navy. I don’t quite know how ARH will then be integrated into the combined arms team to win the land battle? Presumably BR71 has a very simple and well thought out response.

He also stated that further training was needed for some aircrew. Presumably he knows what that training entails? What tasks does he consider deficient?

Furthermore, if he feels that boring holes in the sky is wasted and ADF assets need to be involved in combat operations would he not be consistent with that argument for all ADF assets? Or is offering the government an option (well trained and ready) the role of the ADF?
