The role of modern helicopters has increased in recent years so highly that one may risk stating that they are becoming the basic land forces’ asset and the main tool to support them. Their combat capability is immense and thanks to their maneuverability they are able to survive on the turbulent battlefield. Modern helicopters are equipped with guns and rockets to destroy both the armoured and aerial targets. They are able to breach any fortification lines, rivers, forests, mountainous terrains or swamps. They can camouflage perfectly and effectively fight against air defence due to their possibility to fly on low altitude and attack suddenly with high precision and strength. Because of such extensive helicopters capabilities, a need arises to designate units in the armed forces’ structures that would take advantage of their potential. Therefore it seems justified to feature the role and tasks that organic aviation units of air cavalry brigade play in the contemporary battlefield and present the directions of their further development.

This article (part 2 to follow in the next issue) presents supply requirements of combat helicopters (regiment) group in combat. They have been discussed in two aspects: an assortment - quantity aspect resulting from „tactical and technical” combat equipment possibilities of combat helicopters group and a space - time aspect which can be called „tactical - operational” requirements. Defining these requirements should enable to answer basic logistic questions: „what to deliver and how much/many” and also „where to deliver and when”. The characteristics of assortment - quantity requirements are presented as a comparison of needs (requirements) of the present and future combat helicopters group, in which Mi -2 helicopters will be replaced by W -3 helicopters. The transport needs have been taken into account, which enables to compare them (in part 2) with current transport capabilities of organic supply battalion in combat helicopters group. Considering principles of tactics and military operations of both land forces and air force as well (so called „tactical - operational” background), the time - space parameters have been described for supply subsystem from the receiver’s point of view, i.e. combat helicopters group.
Slovakia's contribution to the European Rapid Reaction Force, declared by the Slovak Government, included four transport helicopters Mi-17 (and perhaps four combat helicopter Mi-24). Requirements of interoperability and compatibility within NATO units determined new prospective programmes for modernisation of our helicopters.

Słowacki wkład w Europejskie Siły Szybkiego Reagowania, zadeklarowany przez słowacki rząd, stanowią 4 helikoptery transportowe Mi-17 (i prawdopodobnie 4 helikoptery bojowe Mi-24). Wymagania dotyczące zgodności i kompatybilności wewnątrz oddziałów NATO zdeterminowały nowe programy modernizacji słowackich helikopterów.
