Summary/Abstract: The following article dwells on the decision process of combat helicopter crew during combat actions conducted in a hybrid threats environment in Afghanistan. The hybrid threats environment gives necessary knowledge which could be used in future military activities, especially during the flight of combat helicopters where danger is a factor to be considered. The analysis of the behavioural reactions of the combat helicopter crew helps us identify the human errors which may occur while conducting combat operations in a hybrid threats environment. This is why the combat helicopter crew is a good indicator of reliability in a systematic evaluation of factors affecting pilots and flight engineers.
