LIGHT AIR DEFENCE ASSETS IN PROTECTION OF LAND FORCES SUB-UNITS
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2009, Vol 153, Issue 3
Abstract
Contemporary armed forces have to be ready to counteract the emerging security threats to world peace. The technical and technological development of military armament aims to achieve the effectiveness of armed forces operations, and at the same time the effectiveness of countering new threats to security. Apart from introducing new combat assets, it is necessary to adapt the armed forces’ organisational structures to them in order to effectively employ them in combat. AD troops should also follow the common trends of preparation to carry out tasks in accordance with the requirements of modern operations, in particular crisis ones, despite the occurrence of new sources of air threats. The mission of AD troops in such operations is to ensure freedom of action to ground troops carrying out mandated tasks. One suggestion for satisfying the requirements of contemporary tasks carried out by the troops is to adjust combat potentials and organisational structures to specified tasks within the whole spectrum of crisis operations. A suggestion for permanently introducing light air defence assets into tasks carried out during various operations, particularly abroad, might ensure security to ground troops carrying out their tasks despite a potential air threat. The author of the article attempts to draw attention to a possibility of the permanent adaptation of light air defence assets into the structures of our Armed Forces, in particular the Land Forces structures. Sub-units equipped with light air defence assets could be included in our task forces that are part of Polish military contingents abroad.
