Which operation is NOT typically a part of combined arms battalion capabilities?

The operation of executing aerial refueling is not typically a part of combined arms battalion capabilities. Combined arms battalions primarily focus on the integration and coordination of various combat arms and support elements, such as infantry, armor, artillery, and engineers, to effectively conduct ground operations. Their capabilities include air-to-ground integration for coordinating air support with ground forces, as well as developing and maintaining battlefield intelligence to enhance situational awareness and tactical decision-making.

While strategic deployments and battlefield intelligence are critical for operational success, aerial refueling is more specialized and falls within the realm of aviation assets and support operations rather than ground combat units. Aerial refueling is conducted by specific aviation units designed to extend the range and endurance of aircraft, highlighting a different aspect of military logistics and operations that is not directly managed by a combined arms battalion.
