RESCUE CAP
--
The Rescue CAP mission locates a downed pilot by vectoring on his PLB (Pilot Location Beacon).
--
A downed pilot will use his PLB sparingly final location being made by an agreed visual signal between him and the rescue helicopter which for US forces will frequently be a CH53 Stallion.
--
This will be accompanied by multi role fighters, or attack aircraft (A10 Warthogs are ideal), and will be known by the call sign 'Sandy.'
--
These aircraft will be able to carry plenty of fuel, and weapons to ward off enemy ground forces or helicopters.
--
Further fighters, are likely to CAP above these forces in case of enemy air intervention.
