Without friendly support from artillery or ground forces, the only way to pacify a landing zone was from the air, preferably with an aircraft that could closely escort the transport helicopters, and loiter over the landing zone as the battle progressed.
Sen apoio amigo de artillería ou forzas terrestres, a única forma de pacificar unha zona de aterraxe era dende o aire, preferiblemente cunha aeronave que puidese escoltar de preto aos helicópteros de transporte, e avanzar sobre a zona de aterraxe a medida que a batalla avanzase.
