This manual is a tactical-level document for planning and conducting aviation operations in an urban environment. This publication complements established doctrine and provides a single-source reference to assist aviation and ground personnel in planning and executing tactical aviation support to urban operations. It promotes an understanding of the complexities of urban terrain, incorporating lessons learned into MTTP. This publication does not fully address all functions of airpower employment used in urban operations, as these topics are addressed in other appropriate joint and Service publications.
