Etymology: World War II: on the pattern of bridgehead.See the Introduction, Abbreviations and Pronunciation for further details.
(DOD, NATO) 1. A designated area in a hostile or threatened territory which, when seized and held, ensures the continuous air landing of troops and materiel and provides the maneuver space necessary for projected operations. Normally it is the area seized in the assault phase of an airborne operation. 2. A designated location in an area of operations used as a base for supply and evacuation by air. See also beachhead; bridgehead.
An airhead is a designated area in a hostile or threatened territory which, when seized and held, allows the air landing
of further troops and matériel via an airbridge,
and provides the maneuver and preparation space necessary for projected operations. Normally it is the area seized in the assault
phase of an airborne operation. It may also be used as a staging or refueling point for
less permanent operations.
Typically, an airhead is established by helicopter-landed or paratrooper forces, and often will take place at an airport (to allow conventional transport to land later on) or at a helicopter or glider-accessible area.
Notable airhead operations include Battle of Crete and Operation Market Garden during World War II, and Operation Just Cause in 1989.
