What impact will the demise of the OH-58D have on the availability to give our ground commanders the aviation assets they require?

It looks like the end for a lot of warrant officers as drones become the weapon of choice these days. Sit back in your barcalounger and get some from 12,000 miles away. Kiowa Warrior vs Little Birds I would go with the Little Birds for scouts not the Apache. The Apache is set up as an attack. Also how are you going to drop in a squad from an Apache - FRIES or SPIES. While there is not the the room for a 6 man squad a 2 to 3 man team could be done from the Kiowa.
