A well-developed UAP increases combat effectiveness by promoting the safe, efficient, and flexible use of airspace with minimum restraint upon airspace users. This paper does not propose a plan to solve all the challenges BCTs face. The intent is to share lessons learned from 2/25 IBCT’s Air Defense Air Management/ Brigade Aviation

The most critical leadership

Historically, the morale across the brigade was high; leaders took care of their Soldiers, and all of them did their best to train them, accomplish missions successfully, and support them in any way.

Unfortunately, many of the changes that I have witnessed upon my return to the ABCT have not been positive, but rather negative in nature.
