The AirLand Battle Doctrine was the overall conceptual framework that formed the basis of the US Army's European warfighting doctrine from 1982 into the late 1990s. AirLand Battle emphasized close coordination between land forces acting as an aggressively maneuvering defense, and air forces attacking rear-echelon forces feeding those front line enemy forces. AirLand Battle replaced 1976's Active Defense Doctrine, and was itself replaced in 1993 by Network-Centric Warfare Doctrine made possible by the Digital Revolution, and by Full Spectrum Operations Doctrine in 2001. The AirLand Battle Doctrine was the first military doctrine, either of the United States or the world, that was formulated prior to the developments necessary to fulfill that doctrine, and then set out to develop those weapons. Known as "The Big Five", those weapon systems were 1) The M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank, 2) The M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) And Tank-Killer, 3) The Boeing AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter, 4) The Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk Medium-Lift Utility Military Helicopter, and 5) The Patriot Anti-Ballistic Missile System. The AirLand Battle Doctrine, a secret doctrine during The Cold War, turned out to be a success psychologically on the Warsaw Pact. In 1992, after the USSR had collapsed, at a friendly dinner of old adversaries, an East German general said to an American diplomat that "We had no options left" after the doctrine had been understood across the Iron Curtain; Russian Marshal and military historian understood then tat the Russians could not compete.
