 | Results from a 1971 US Army survey (Walden and McCurdy, 1971) which recorded threshold data for aviators with over 10 years rated service then were compared (Table 4) with the threshold data for the 10 years plus aviators from the current study. |
| Seventy-one aviators, or 49 percent, had at least one year of frequent exposure to small arms fire and 56, or 39 percent, had received frequent exposure to artillery fire for at least one year. |
| Aviators exceeding those predictor values would be considered at risk and follow-up procedures would be recommended prior to the onset of a significant threshold shift. |
| Aviation (2292 words) |
| The mission of Army aviation is to find, fix, and destroy the enemy through fire and maneuver; and to provide combat, combat service and combat service support in coordinated operations as an integral member of the combined arms team. |
| Aviation can accomplish each of these roles-within the limits of finite assets and capabilities-during offensive or defensive operations and also for joint, combined, contingency, or special operations. |
| Additional Corps level aviation organizational structures are activated during war with operational assets to include the Corps aviation brigade with two attack helicopter regiments and an aviation group. |
