While researching US Army Attack Helicopter doctrine, I found several interesting reads on the battle that seemingly has changed the role of attack helicopters from deep-strike missions to CAS. The article, "Renaissance of the Attack Helicopter in the Close Fight," gives several accounts of the battle that occurred on March 23, 2003 involving the 11th Attack Helicopter Regiment with a discussion of asymmetric warfare and the emerging role of attack helicopters.
