The success of a contemporary military operation closely depends on the involved own force’s quick reaction ability, flexibility; on the benefits which can be recovered from the initiation and on the high level of mobility. It is unquestionable that the above listed capabilities can only be ensured by the use of helicopters. Helicopter forces are involved in many tasks of every defence forces. In joint operations, they take part in both combat support and combat service support operations. The objective of writing this article was to represent the capabilities of the helicopter forces and to clarify all of the restrains which can negatively effect the helicopter operations. As for that, considering my intent, the reader will get a clear understanding on the helicopter capabilities and helicopter supported operations. Using up the presentment of a Combat Recovery operation’s helicopter assisted part can even more highlight the importance of those joint force operations which are supported by helicopters.
