Good question CFL, I imagine the americans have an 40 pers staff per UAV and it's probably a trade in the air force for them. But I'm only guessing.
Inch said:GW, you bring up a similar point to mine, you want pilots working with the army to do CAP, why don't Cbt arms officers involved in air mobility have to do at least a ground school type course so they know what an aircraft can and can't do.
So do UAV operators need to be trained to CF wings standard? The answer is no, but 10 weeks of ground school covering theory of flight, weather and aerodynamics would be a big help.
The point seems to have morphed, however......I also heard that there's 10 airforce guys showing up to teach the aviation side of UAVs

Do we require Attack Helicopters to fill that role or just LOH with sensor packages?
Should a Recce Troop consist of 8 vehs and two Helicopters (to be permanently part of each troop)?
Should a Flight of Utility Helicopters be a fixed part of an Assault Troop in a Recce Sqn?
