What is a primary mission of attack units?

The primary mission of attack units is to provide security, which includes offensive operations aimed at destroying or neutralizing enemy forces and protecting friendly forces and assets. This involves engaging in direct combat, providing fire support, and conducting maneuvers that enhance the safety and operational capability of ground troops.

While logistics support, intelligence gathering, and medical support are important functions within military operations, they do not typically fall under the direct mission of attack aviation units. Instead, attack units focus on offensive capabilities to secure areas, assist ground operations, and create a favorable tactical environment for mission success. Through their specialized training and equipment, they enable maneuver forces to operate with less risk from enemy threats, thereby fulfilling their primary role of security on the battlefield.
