CHAPTER 2 PATHFINDER DETACHMENT 3. General a. Concept. Pathfindei's are introduced by land, sea, or air into an objective area to establish and operate navigational aids for guiding aircraft to the drop or landing zones. Pathfinders may be used in the loading areas to control air traffic with- in the loading areas and between the loading areas and the initial point (IP). Pathfinders in the objective area control air traffic within the drop and landing zones and between the communica- tions checkpoint and these zones. Air traffic between the IP and communications checkpoint may be monitored and regulated by the flight co- ordination center. b. Mission. The mission of Army pathfinders is to establish navigational assistance to and con- trol aircraft in areas designated by sup- ported unit commanders. c. Assignment and Attadhment.
