One of the best ways to protect against Asymmetric/WMD attack is a highly-mobile Army that has light armored vehicles with NBC filtration/over-pressure systems and not over-rely on Soldier garments (letting threat agents get too close). Such an Air-Mech-Strike force would be rapidly deployable, dispersed and still able to fight in a "dirty" SOF battlefield environment where strategic targets are heavily defended and need shock action to be overcome. We have created in detail such a force by writing a new "Phalanx" book on the subject.
America's Army is transforming a few combat Brigades to a lighter combined-arms structure using Interim Armored Vehicles (IAVs) sized to rapidly deploy by U.S. Air Force, fixed-wing aircraft anywhere in the world to conflict areas. Expanding this critical, transformation initiative to another level of capability, we have written a book explaining how to gain a 3-Dimensional maneuver and fire capability; by using airland/airdrop enhancements, taking advantage of, and further synchronizing Army rotary-wing aircraft into the IAV equipped combined-arms teams. This book, this warfighting concept---is called "Air-Mech-Strike: 3-Dimensional Phalanx: full-spectrum maneuver warfare to dominate the 21st Century".
Building 3-D maneuver and fire capable Air-Mech Strike Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs), with existing and some new equipment, we save money to transform the entire Army with the required numbers of IAVs in our units. We present these affordable suggestions to help our transformation "be all that it can be" throughout the spectrum of conflict, and invite you to read Air-Mech-Strike: 3-Dimensional Phalanx: full-spectrun maneuver warfare to dominate the 21st Century.

Rwanda? Kosovo? Bosnia? Iraq? Korea? What next?
This book outlines how to reorganize the U.S. Army into a fully 3-Dimensional maneuver, ground force with terrain-agile, armored fighting vehicles sized to rapidly deploy by fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft to the scene of world conflicts and strike at the heart of freedom's enemies.
The plan to build the Army into Air-Mech-Strike Forces, exploiting emerging information-age technologies, as well as America's supremacy in aircraft and helicopter delivery systems, at the lowest cost to the taxpayers, is described in detail. These Army warfighting organizations, using existing and some newly purchased equipment, will shape the battlefield to America's advantage, preserving the peace before it is lost; if not, then winning fights that must be fought quickly. The dangerous world we live in moves by the speed of the AIR, and the 21st Century U.S. Army Phalanx will dominate this medium by Air-Mech-Strike!

PRAISE FOR AIR-MECH-STRIKE
"If you care about our Army read this book! Dave Grange's team has come up with some new thinking in "Air-Mech-Strike: 3-Dimensional Phalanx" on how to move faster, strike harder and do more without spending a fortune designing all-new equipment. Their ideas deserve a fair hearing at the top decision-making levels of the Army and DOD."
Joseph L. Galloway
Senior writer, U.S. News & World Report
Co-author "We Were Soldiers Once....and Young."
"Air-Mech-Strike is a must read concerning the most important debate now facing any and all who want to understand future war. The book's essence: fighting will be three-dimensional. The flat map becomes a cube with the air another flank to be exploited. Chapter and verse, with plenty of challenging thinking."
General John R. Galvin (U.S. Army Retired)
Dean and hold of the
Charles F. Adams/Raytheon Chair
"Air-Mech-Strike is a monumental work in progress and a credit to the military expertise of its authors. It advocates providing the enhancement of combat power to Airborne and light forces essential to deal with the future challenges of Small Scale Contingencies and then some."
General Volney F. Warner (U.S. Army, Retired)
Former XVIIIth Airborne Corps Commander
"Today's Army is smack in the middle of a great transformation to build a more lethal, more deployable fighting force. Significantly, the Army leadership is pushing hard for realistic, practical solutions now, not in two decades. This book proposes just such solutions. The authors are worthy successors to Lieutenant General Jim Gavin and Lieutenant General Hamilton Howze, visionary leaders who introduced the gospel of airmobility to our Army nearly half a century ago. If you want to know how a transformed U.S. Army can fight and win in wars and confrontations great and small, read this book."
