Operation ALLIED FORCE ceased air operations without ever committing Task Force Hawk on 24 June 1999, when Serbian President Milosevic agreed to withdraw all Serbian military and police forces from Kosovo. Although Task Force Hawk was never employed in air strikes in Kosovo, the Air War Over Serbia in March -June 1999 highlighted some underlying doctrinal and institutional barriers to integrating Army Attack Aviation into joint air operations.

Instead, the Joint Air Doctrine environment conducts operations based on air mission elements like Strategic Attack, Air Interdiction and Close Air Support. Institutionally, mistrust between USA and Joint Air Operations leadership and planners, lack of understanding of integration requirements, fear of loss of control of Army Aviation, and training constructs adversely impacted the int
