Abstract
Operational experiences of the recent past have revealed the significance of the helicopters and their combat and combat support capabilities in the asymmetric warfare environment. Recognizing the importance of the helicopters, the commanders of operations required an increasing number of rotary-wing assets onto the battlefield which has been traced back for various reasons by the participating nations. The situation becomes more complicated by the serious capability disparities among the rotary-wing forces already on the battlefield.The gaps in combat support lead consequently to the overall operational capability reduction in NATO forces. In my study, I look for solutions on how to increase the number of helicopters on the operational theatre, and how to enhance the operational capability of NATO rotary-wing forces.

These exchange programs are especially useful for those nations who have inadequate operational knowledge, since information transfer can be facilitated at the base of the host nation for a long-term period, from a representative of a more experienced nation. These programs are useful among the more experienced nations as they can even learn different tactical procedures and aircraft handling methods. The usefulness of these programs are shown by the widespread involvement of NATO n ations. (Table 2)
The implementation and interpretation of STEM should not be done individually by the nations, it must be applied to all NATO member states
Summary
Trainings must be followed by such exercises in which pilots can improve their flying skills into routines. Aircrews in the digital space—amongst others—can perform support tasks for land forces, practice of their on-board weaponry and tactical manoeuvring This cost-effective training method is nowadays quickly spreading across the countries, but they have been created autonomously. Improvement of sharing operational lessons learnt and experiences Today, only those nations can perform their RW tasks efficiently, who can quickly adopt themselves to the rapidly changing operational environment, who are able to evaluate the conflicts outcomes and lessons, who can transform their training to meet the newly arisen challenges and can implement those into their armed actions. Connected to the experience share topic, I have to underline the importance of the use of pilot exchange programs These exchange programs are especially useful for those nations who have inadequate operational knowledge, since information transfer can be facilitated at the base of the host nation for a long-term period, from a representative of a more experienced nation. The usefulness of these programs are shown by the widespread involvement of NATO n ations. (Table 2)
