"If we do what we think we're going to do, there will never have been a military campaign that has moved that far, that fast," one senior Army officer said today.

The division's Apaches, equivalent to nearly half of the Army's attack helicopters in Kuwait, are considered vital to any ground attack. The new Longbow model has a fire-control radar system capable of detecting in less than a second more than 1,000 potential targets spread over several miles, sorting them into categories such as wheeled or tracked vehicles, and prioritizing them instantly for purposes of destruction by the helicopter's 16 Hellfire missiles. "If you don't do a 'human interrupt,' the Longbow will automatically kill those targets in order of priority," said Brig. Gen. Edward J. Sinclair, an Apache pilot and assistant commander of the 101st. Target data can also be e-mailed from one Longbow to another.
