What protocols are in place to protect Avenger units from friendly fire incidents?

Tactical communication and identification protocols are essential for mitigating the risk of friendly fire incidents involving Avenger units. These protocols ensure that clear communication channels are established among the units and between air and ground forces, allowing for accurate identification of friendly forces. By implementing a robust identification system, such as friend-or-foe identification, Avenger crews can differentiate between their own assets and potential threats.

These protocols generally include the use of coded communication signals and recognizable markers, which are crucial during operations where multiple units may be operating in close proximity. Additionally, they enhance situational awareness, allowing units to coordinate effectively and avoid misidentification, which can lead to unintended engagements.

Other options, while they may provide support or structures for mission planning, do not specifically address the direct prevention of friendly fire incidents. Camouflage techniques are more about concealment than communication. Regular mission briefings are valuable, but they primarily serve to inform rather than to identify specific friend or foe statuses on the battlefield. Similarly, electronic warfare techniques focus on countering enemy capabilities rather than ensuring identification among friendly forces.
