Air Support Request (AIRSUPREQ)
(PLN-501) - answer✔A means to request preplanned and immediate CAS, Air Interdiction (AI),
air reconnaissance, surveillance, escort, helicopter airlift and other aircraft missions.
Allocation Request (ALLOREQ)
(PLN-501) - answer✔Used to provide an estimate of the total air effort, to identify any excess
