Fm 44-8 Combined Arms for Air Defense (revised 1999)

Thanks to Muzzlehatch for the info!




You would have thought (like I did) that the ground forces were not planning for small units to have to defend themselves against air attack.  By outside appearances it seemed like everyone was happily going along with the fiction that our airpower would sweep the sky and keep us safe from that threat.

Seems like some smart guy in the US Army thought differently and produced a manual in the 1980's, which was updated in 1999, that considered that possibility.

I never knew.

I'm glad to know that
