abstract
| - Air power can play an important role in counter-insurgency, capable of carrying out a wide range of operations:
* Transportation in support of combatants and civilians alike, including casualty evacuations;
* Intelligence gathering, surveillance, and reconnaissance;
* Psychological operations, through leaflet drops, loudspeakers, and radio broadcasts;
* Air-to-ground attack against 'soft' targets. For an aircraft - whether fixed-wing and helicopter - to successfully carry out all these roles, it should have such qualities as low loitering speed, long endurance, simplicity in maintenance, and the capability to make short (or vertical) take-offs and landings from rough front-line airstrips.
