5 Stages of Assault Support Planning ANSWER ; -Staging Plan, Loading Plan, Air Movement Plan,
Landing Plan, Ground Tactical Plan
LANDING PLAN Definition ANSWER ; -the desired time, place, and sequence of arrival of units.
Loading plan- ANSWER ; -establish, organize, and control activities in the pickup zone (PZ), plan for the
movement of troops and equipment to the PZ, and establish the priority of loading units
Staging plan- ANSWER ; -prescribes the arrival time of ground units (troops, equipment, and supplies)
at the PZ in the proper order for movement. Assign sticks to serials. Ground units expected to be at the
PZ 15 minutes prior to aircraft arrival.
Air movement plan ANSWER ; -the control and protection of the assault support force during the air
movement. Specifies when and how troops, equipment, etc. will be transported from the PZ to the LZ.

zone and land without illumination
Assault Support Limitations ANSWER ; -Severe weather, extreme heat and cold, and other
environmental conditions such as blowing snow and sand that limit flight operations, aircraft lift
capability, or flight visibility
Reliance on airborne communication
Reduced ground mobility once inserted
Limited accessibility to supporting arms, especially indirect fires
