Special operations forces and support helicopter landing zones are generally covert. FP [force protection] is achieved by employing use of terrain and CCD [camouflage, concealment and deception] procedures. The FP presence must be balanced with the need to preserve operational secrecy. FP will normally be provided by the SOF [special operations force] units that are being supported. In the event of ground attack, the task of FP will be to warn landing zone personnel and to delay the attackers until the helicopters are able to depart. 1, record 6, English, - special%20operations%20forces%20and%20support%20helicopter%20landing%20zone

Despite its replacement by the Army Helicopter Improvement Program(AHIP) under which existing light helicopters are to be modified for a scout role in support of the AH-64 attack helicopter, Agusta still believes it has a chance to sell the A. 129 to the US Army as an advanced scout and has made extensive use allowances in the design for US requirements. 3, record 11, English, - Army%20Helicopter%20Improvement%20Program
