This year, the visitors and military delegations of the International Defense Industry Exhibition MSPO 2010 saw a dynamic demonstration of the 25th Brigade of Air Cavalry which demonstrates the army training and the professional equipment use by this unit. The storm-troop soldiers with the back up of two combat helicopters will have to localise the castaway’s whereabouts, to identify him and pick him up in order to evacuate from the military operation area. The platoon operations are carried out within the framework of so called CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue). |

With
the reorganization of the former 25th Air Cavalry Division into the 25th
Air Cavalry Brigade (ACB) (headquartered at Tomaszow Mazowiecki), the
Polish Ministry of Defense has made a major commitment to developing a
fully interoperable NATO rapid-reaction capability. The 25th ACB will
provide NATO and U.S. commanders with an air assault capability similar
to that provided by a brigade combat team of the U.S. 101st Airborne Division
(Air Assault). The unit's doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures
for air assault operations are nearly identical with those of the United
States. Brigadier General Jan Kempara, commander of the 25th ACB, is an
expert in American air assault and airborne operations.
The
purpose of the 25th ACB is to provide the Polish army with a highly manoeuvrable,
rapid-reaction force that can conduct deliberate, precisely planned, and
vigorously executed air assaults to operational depths of 50 to 100 km.
The brigade's goal is to sustain high-intensity combat operations for
up to 72 hours; speed and surprise are its key advantages. The unit is
capable of both offensive and defensive operations and could be called
upon to accomplish a variety of missions; e.g., destroying enemy command
posts and communication systems, seizing key terrain and facilities, disrupting
enemy logistic operations, rapidly reinforcing friendly subunits in contact
with the enemy, and screening flanks and breaches. It can also be used
in search-and-rescue and noncombat operations. The unit's doctrine, tactics,
techniques, and procedures for air assault operations are taken almost
entirely from U.S. publications. |
