Why do American soldiers always call for air support?

supplementary) Can every soldier call for air support from the US military?

Friends who like to watch American blockbusters will not be unfamiliar with such a scene. When the American army is attacked by a sneak attack, it can't be beaten. At this time, American soldiers will hold walkie-talkies and shout at the walkie-talkies for help!

After a while, a support fighter appeared in the air of the US military. So, besides sighing about the powerful support system of the US military, we can't help wondering if every soldier can call for air support of the US military.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about this air support system of the US military. As early as World War II, the US military established infantry support. We can often see an American soldier holding a very large walkie-talkie calling for support, and soon the artillery fire covered the area shouted by the soldier.

However, due to the imperfection of this support system, it often happens that shells are thrown at one's own head.

With the development of science and technology, by the time of the Gulf War, the U.S. military has established a complete air support system, which binds the combatants of the U.S. ground forces with the fighters and support units of the U.S. military, so that the frontline soldiers of the U.S. military can call for air strikes and support at any time on the ground during the Gulf War.

However, it seems that every soldier can call for air support at any time. However, in fact, this support system has a very huge process, and not every soldier can call for air support with the rear command organization at any time. If you have seen some American war movies, it should be clear to your friends.

generally, the U.S. military distributes radio stations to the combat units at the ordinary infantry squad level. If the combat units need support, the combat commanders at the squad or platoon level must send a request for air support to the rear headquarters, and then the headquarters will deploy and deploy air support and strike units for the front-line units.

However, if there is an emergency in wartime, air support will be very frequent, and even sometimes it can't be supported.

Therefore, from this point of view, not every soldier of the US military can call for air support at any time. However, with the reform and simplification of the communication system and command system of the US military, the plan is to complete a series of strike and support tasks in a short time, but there is still no plan to include individual support in this plan.

In addition, the power of the grass-roots individual portable radio station of the US military is very limited, so the communication distance of the radio station is also very short. Nowadays, most requests for air support are forwarded, such as contacting the company at the class level and then forwarding them to the air support unit by the company, and then the support can arrive. As a result, the speed of air support is not very fast!

However, the US military is planning to improve this situation now, because if the battlefield situation of combat troops is very complicated, the information and communication devices are unstable or other situations, such as the radio station being damaged in the battle, the air support called by American soldiers may be ruined.

American soldiers always call for air support, is it because they are afraid of death?

We often talk about how advanced the technology is in the United States, how powerful the military is, and how ferocious the individual combat capability is, etc., but students who love watching American war movies must also know that American troops like to call for air fire support and so on when they are attacked or attacked. As the saying goes, "if you don't agree with a word, you will call people."

I'm sure you've had this experience more or less. When you were a child, you had a fight with others, no matter how hard it was, the favorite sentence you heard was "Don't leave after school, I'll call someone" and so on. Usually, we think that this kid who makes jokes is incompetent and can only make people laugh. However, if such a similar thing is put on the US military, will you still laugh at the US military as a "weak chicken"?

We know that the United States is a country that advocates individualism, and Americans firmly believe that all people

have equal value and power. Then, on the battlefield, although personal heroism sounds tall, it is likely to lose its life, and such a price seems too great.

since 215, the defense advanced research projects agency (DARPA) of the U.S. department of defense has developed the prototype system of the "lasting close air support" project, and successfully carried out demonstration and verification flights such as air-ground information interconnection and live ammunition shooting. By the beginning of November, all the work in the demonstration and verification flight stages of MV-22 and A-1 had been completed, and the technical achievements will soon be transferred to the U.S. military.

This project strives to integrate innovative air-ground coordination capability into the close air support equipment system of the US military, change the close air support combat mode, and greatly enhance the combat capability. Although Americans are martial, they also believe in the power of science and technology, so as far as American troops like to call for support on the battlefield, it is not because they are cowards, but because they are weak chickens, but because they have great protection and respect for personal lives. In other words, what can be solved with a few bombs, why rush out and fight to the death and sacrifice soldiers?

If some people in today's world think that calling people is a sign of "weakness" when American troops are fighting, then it is estimated that these people must admire the Japanese imperial army, which is brainless as long as it meets the enemy and then beaten to death everywhere. After all, "just being positive" is more bloody! But at the same time, in modern warfare, this is also the most stupid and xB approach.

hope to adopt it.
