Top 10 Challenges• Sustaining the fight
• Improving synchronization (from battlefield to Pentagon)
• Growing ARSOA…any growth will stress the Army
• Advancing technology in light of fiscal realities
• Building new / upgrading existing facilities
• Expanding an inadequate training base
• Squeezing the P-11 budget (improving efficiency)
• Achieving fleet commonality
• Fixing the span of control
• Developing new aircraft: USASOC can’t go it alone
DSOA
DSOA Mission
Principal staff directorate to advise and assist the Commanding General on all matters pertaining to Army Special Operations Aviation (ARSOA).
• Exercise staff supervision and oversight for ARSOA Personnel, Operations, Plans, Training, Logistics, Doctrine, Standardization, Safety. Provides critical link to Aviation Programs and the requirements integration process.
• Coordinate with other staff elements, as required, to ensure ARSOA is properly organized, trained, equipped and resourced.
• Provide connectivity with external aviation-related organizations and agencies.

160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne)
• Deployed continuously since September 2001- Conducted first rotary wing operations of the war w/ infill of ODA TMs ISO Northern Alliance
• Missions: Air Assaults (Direct Action HAF), Air Movements (Infil / Exfil), Reconnaissance, Deliberate/Hasty Attacks, Personnel Recovery, Casualty Evacuation (CASEVAC), Search and Rescue (CSAR), Re-supply of Special Operation Forces (SOF)
• Missions executed over long distances in desert and mountain environments in poor weather forcing a heavy reliance on:
•Multi-Mode Radar
•High / Hot Environment Operations
•Helicopter Aerial Refueling
• Conducted the longest helicopter Air Assault in history – 1300 miles / 15 continuous FLT hours
• Since DESERT ONE failure in 1980 (planned at 600 NM), more than 20 Air Assaults/Air Movements of equal or longer distance were successfully completed
• Over 34,775 hours flown to date (majority are direct assault missions)
• Harsh environment for RW Aviation: Combat and contingency operations have identified the need to modernize equipment and improve our operational envelope

Closing Comments • (FOUO) The demand for precision Special Operations Aviation
missions has never been greater• (U) The 160th is an ever changing organization – growing and
adapting as our supported forces change• (FOUO) The key to our success is mature, experienced, and
professional aviators. Experienced aviators are required due to:– Complex Mission Profiles
– Persistently High OPTEMPO and PERSTEMPO
– Joint Planning and Operational Environment
– New Technology Implementation
– TTP Development
• (FOUO) The process begins with successful recruiting / assessment• (FOUO) Extensive initial training is required to supply operational
battalions with combat power (trained personnel)
