This aircrew training manual (ATM) standardizes aircrew training programs and flight evaluation procedures. This manual provides specific guidelines for executing CH-47D/F aircrew training based on Field Manual (FM) 7-1. It establishes crewmember qualification, and refresher, mission, and continuation training and evaluation requirements. This manual applies to all CH-47D/F crewmembers and their commanders. The CH-47D is not a similar aircraft to CH-47F. The CH-47F is a similar aircraft to the CH-47G. This is not a stand-alone document; all requirements contained in Army regulations (ARs) and Training Circular (TC) 1-210 must be met. This manual is the governing authority for training and flight evaluation purposes only if differences exist between the maneuver descriptions in Technical Manual (TM) 1-1520-240-10 or TM 1-1520-271-10 and this ATM. TM 1-1520-240-10 and TM 1-1520-271-10 are the governing authority for operation of the aircraft. Implementation of this manual conforms to AR 95-1 and TC 1-210. This manual (with applicable ARs and TC 1-210) will help all levels of aviation commanders develop a comprehensive aircrew training program. By using the ATM, commanders ensure individual crewmember and aircrew proficiency is commensurate with the unit's mission and that aircrews employ standard techniques and procedures. This manual will be used as a "how to" source for performing crewmember duties. It provides performance standards and evaluation guidelines so that crewmembers know the expected level of performance. Each task has a description of the performance required to meet the standard. Standardization officers, evaluators, and unit trainers will use this manual and TC 1-210 as the primary tools to develop and implement their aircrew training program (ATP). This manual applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated.This ATM describes training requirements for crewmembers. It will be used with AR 95-1, AR 600-105, AR 600-106, NGR (AR) 95-210, TC 1-210, and other applicable publications. The tasks in this ATM enhance training in individual and aircrew proficiency. The training focuses on accomplishing tasks that support the unit's mission. The scope and level of training to be achieved, individually by crewmembers and collectively by aircrews, is dictated by the mission-essential task list (METL). Commanders must ensure aircrews are proficient in the METL.

In this first of a two-volume study, Dr. Futrell presents a chronological survey of the development of Air Force doctrine and thinking from the beginnings of powered flight to the onset of the space age. He outlines the struggle of early aviation enthusiasts to gain acceptance of the airplane as a weapon and win combat-arm status for the Army Air Service (later the Army Air Corps and Army Air Force). He surveys the development of airpower doctrine during the 1930s and World War II and outlines the emergence of the autonomous US Air Force in the postwar period. Futrell brings this first volume to a close with discussions of the changes in Air Force thinking and doctrine necessitated by the emergence of the intercontinental missile, the beginnings of space exploration and weapon systems, and the growing threat of limited conflicts resulting from the Communist challenge of wars of liberation. In volume two, the author traces the new directions that Air Force strategy, policies, and thinking took during the Kennedy administration, the Vietnam War, and the post-Vietnam period. Futrell outlines how the Air Force struggled with President Kennedy's redefinition of national security policy and Robert S. McNamara's managerial style as secretary of defense. He describes how the Air Force argued that airpower should be used during the war in Southeast Asia. He chronicles the evolution of doctrine and organization regarding strategic, tactical, and airlift capabilities and the impact that the aerospace environment and technology had on Air Force thinking and doctrine.

This book is an attempt to present under one cover the current state of knowledge concerning the potential lightning effects on aircraft and that means that are available to designers and operators to protect against these effects. The impetus for writing this book springs from two sources- the increased use of nonmetallic materials in the structure of aircraft and the constant trend toward using electronic equipment to handle flight-critical control and navigation function.

This book develops the idea that since decolonisation, regional patterns of security have become more prominent in international politics. The authors combine an operational theory of regional security with an empirical application across the whole of the international system. Individual chapters cover Africa, the Balkans, CIS Europe, East Asia, EU Europe, the Middle East, North America, South America, and South Asia. The main focus is on the post-Cold War period, but the history of each regional security complex is traced back to its beginnings. By relating the regional dynamics of security to current debates about the global power structure, the authors unfold a distinctive interpretation of post-Cold War international security, avoiding both the extreme oversimplifications of the unipolar view, and the extreme deterritorialisations of many globalist visions of a new world disorder. Their framework brings out the radical diversity of security dynamics in different parts of the world.
