They must also interface with theater CSS units to ensure all supply and maintenance functions are operational and coordinated. Local area orientations, test flights, or other requirements that cannot be executed in advance may be required. If so, commanders should attempt to task organize at the lowest levels to allow test pilots, instructor pilots, and key leaders to front load some of these requirements before the entire unit arrives. The advance party should be briefed on these requirements and the plan for their execution so they can identify and coordinate any external support those key personnel will need to execute the plan when they arrive. Acclimate to the Environment.
Acclimation starts before deployment and continues until redeployment.
Before deployment the aviation unit should issue the appropriate survival equipment and clothing for the climate that will be encountered. Most deployments will involve operating in a joint or multinational environment. Aviation units may be able to schedule training with other joint players or even professional development classes taught by instructors from other services. If so, this training could only help with the acclimation process. Cavalry and attack units probably would meet this requirement through security missions or shows of force.
