About

This chapter is applicable to pathfinder detachments and unit pathfinders except that unit pathfinders generally do not estab- lish or operate Drop/Landing Zone Controls (D/LZC) and re- lease points (RP). Other minor differences in application are pointed out as they appear. 15. Coordination The commanders of the ground and aviation units coordinate and preplan the details of the operation that requires pathfinder assistance. The pathfinder detachment commander may make recommendations as to the location of the drop or landing zone, the formation to be flown, and the time schedule to be followed. The aviation unit commander coordinates with the ground unit commander in deciding on primary and alternate flight routes, the communication check point, type loads, time schedule, and flight formation. 16.
