About

CHAPTER 2 PATHFINDER DETACHMENT 5. General a. Concept. Pathfinders are infiltrated by land, sea, or air into an objective area to estab- lish and operate navigational aids for guiding aircraft to the drop or landing zones. A flight coordination center from the Army aircraft traffic regulating and identification company may be provided to assist the ground force com- mander in controlling heavy density Army air traffic in forward areas of the division. The flight coordination center establishes, within its capabilities, the necessary ground-to-ground and ground-to-air communications to assist the force commander in coordinating the operations of pathfinder elements in the loading areas and in the objective area, and flights and serials operating between these areas.
