ATP 4-48 Aerial Delivery provides doctrine for current aerial delivery operations and addresses aerial delivery distribution as it applies to the overall Army distribution system. Aerial delivery amplifies Army distribution flexibility and agility and is a force multiplier within the Army distribution system.
This publication defines aerial delivery; discusses aerial delivery methods and options; describes the planning, preparation, and execution process; and identifies roles and responsibilities in the conduct of aerial delivery. The intent is to provide the reader with an understanding of the abilities, limitations, and techniques of aerial delivery.
This book is a “Mini” (half the size of a piece of paper).
A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading. The binding is with coil, allowing easy flipping of pages without jamming.
The color covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.
(A BIG size version (8 1/2 inch by 11 inch, the same size as a regular sheet of paper) is on this website too)
