Combat Aviation Brigade A Combat aviation brigade ( CAB ) is a multi - functional brigade - sized unit in the United States Army that fields military helicopter s , offering a combination of attack helicopters ( AH - 64 Apache ) , reconnaissance helicopters ( OH - 58 Kiowa ) , medium - lift helicopters ( UH - 60 Black Hawk ) , heavy - lift helicopters ( CH - 47 Chinook ) , and MEDEVAC capability . History . Combat Aviation Brigades ( CABs ) were introduced during the transformation of the United States Army to a modular force . There were three types of combat aviation brigades . Heavy combat aviation brigades Medium combat aviation brigades Light combat aviation brigades Full Spectrum Capability . Starting in 2010 , the Army began to replace 3 types of CABs by multipurpose brigades called “ Full spectrum CABs ” . However for specific reasons some Heavy CABs will remain . The ultimate goal would be 9 Full spectrum CABs and 4 Heavy CABs in active service , and respectively 6 and 2 CABs in the Army National Guard . Four brigades must be deployment - ready on a permanent basis . Since then all Light CABs have been adapted into Full spectrum CABs and will soon disappear . The Army stated that they need the CAB to be modular designed to enable task organization and optimize aviation capability for specific mission of specified duration . Full spectrum CAB will standardize the CAB design across the branch to deliver maximum aviation capability in the most timely and flexible manner . The Army also said that the new CAB design is doctrinally sound which delivers the combat , combat support , and combat service support to “ enable steady state ” operations required in an era of persistent conflict , and this new CAB will be constructed to deliver combat power while maximizing efficiencies in training , maintenance and support across the Army . Full spectrum combat aviation brigades design includes : US Army National Guard . The Army National Guard ( ARNG ) fields eight combat aviation brigades within its eight divisions . The Army National Guard brigade is different from the Army ' s full spectrum combat aviation brigade as it replaces the OH - 58D Kiowa Warrior of attack reconnaissance squadron with the UH - 72 Lakota and organized into Support and Security Battalion or S & S BN . Thus all ARNG aviation brigades consist of attack reconnaissance battalion ( 24 AH - 64 Apache ) , security and support battalion ( three companies with 8 UH - 72 Lakota each ) , assault helicopter battalion ( 30 UH - 60 Black Hawk ) , general support aviation battalion ( 8 UH - 60 , 12 CH - 47 Chinook and 15 HH - 60M ) , UAV company ( 12 MQ - 1C Gray Eagle ) , and aviation support battalion .

Force structure A Force structure is the combat - capable part of a military organisation which describes how military personnel , and their weapon s and equipment , are organised for the operations , missions and tasks expected from them by the particular doctrine of the service or demanded by the environment of the conflict . Force structuring considers the allocation of officers and other service men and women , their skills , and the relationship between their military unit s required to provide mutual support during military operation s as a military capability of the armed forces in part or as a whole . The totality of the force structure committed to any given military operation , mission or task is called an order of battle . Another important part of the force structure planning is how the command structure is organised within the order of battle will not reflect the force structure , but the forces command hierarchy and their relative deployment within the Theatre of Military Operations , during operational manoeuvre , or in the Tactical Area of Responsibility . The adaptability of any force ' s force structure is usually tested in wartime to reflect changing nature of warfare , and therefore military doctrine , it usually entails for the participants . Force structure is also often shaped by forces of necessity when there is a lack of trained personnel , experience or appropriate equipment . David Glantz in his " When Titans Clash " provides an example of how the Red Army after three years of retreats , massive losses , steep learning curves , maturation and regaining the initiative identified this process of change in force structure by " The 1944 Field Regulations of the Red Army " , or " Ustav " , formalised their experiences of 1943 , including the artillery and the air offensives for the ground forces . Importantly , the 1944 " Ustav " " stressed the importance of maneuver , surprise , and initiative , three hallmarks of interwar German and Soviet theory " . This reflected a continuation of the a steady growth in mechanised force structure pursued by the Red Army since the 1930s , and when " Khalkhin - Gol demonstrated the viability of Soviet theory and force structure " . Currently changes in force structure can be caused not only by changes in forms of warfare and doctrine , but also rapid change in technology and budgetary considerations based on the wider national economy .
