212NATO UNCLASSIFIED RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLICJ.2 ExplanationJ.2 Explanation1 Callsign(s): Give the complete Callsign(s) of the concerned crewmember.2 Number of isolated personnel: Ideally, this number will correspond to the numberof call signs. However, if call signs are unknown or are incomplete, knowing thenumber of isolated personnel will help recovery forces better than the pickup.3 Location(s): The location of each isolated personnel in Lat / Long, UTM / MGRSgrid, or range and bearing to a known point (SARDOT, waypoint, etc.). Providethe coordinates / range and bearing in the original format as received from thesource (HOOK 112 GPS coordinates, accompanying aircraft over flight, etc.). Alsoprovide the source of the location by circling the appropriate descriptor (GPS, Map,Flyover, Other) and the date / time stamp or code of that location. For example,if an aircraft flew over the isolated personnel and recorded the position, circleflyover and include the Zulu date / time of this location or code (e.g. 281403Z orLocation B). If given GPS coordinates from the isolated person, circle GPS. Thesource of information can be critical when loading into navigation systems due tothe different datum and navigation system defaults. Having the information in itsoriginal format will limit errors induced by various conversions that are handeddown from one controlling agency to another.4 Isolated personnel condition: Most important is can they walk or not? Answer YESor NO. This will assist the recovery vehicle in determining the amount of time theground team will need. If time permits, provide additional information concerningthe type and extent of injuries.5 Equipment (Comm / signal): Coordinate the following for the isolated personnelarea: the passing of specific OSC duties from RESCORT to the recovery vehicle andback, who has control of the isolated person frequency, and who is responsible forcoordinating isolated personnel signalling and when. Provide the recovery vehiclewith the signalling devices available to the isolated person.6 Authentication completed? YES or NO and how the authentication was accomplished(ISOPREP data, letter of the day, etc.). Inform recovery forces of authenticationinformation previously used and compromised, to include ISOPREP data, PRword, letter, or number of the day.7 Threats: Isolated personnel are threats that will affect the recovery vehicle orRESCORT. Include OPFOR foot soldiers, tanks / armoured vehicles, known or suspectedchemical / radiation hazards, AAA, SAMs, etc. Include enroute threats duringingress and egress if known.8 Elevation: Provide the MSL altitude (or nearest 1000 ft) of the isolated personnellocation if known. Elevation is critical above 4000 ft AMSL and / or surface air temperatureis 25 degrees Celsius or greater. These factors are used for calculating therecovery vehicle’s power available and power required for various hover heights.9 Description of isolated personnel area: Some possible descriptors: flat, rocky, hilly,sloped, 80-foot trees, valley, and ridgeline. For example, “ZORBA 01B is on thesouth slope of an east / west running ridgeline halfway up in rocky terrain.”10 (a) Ingress Route: Provide the ingress route for the recovery vehicle to the actualisolated personnel location from the IP.NATO UNCLASSIFIED RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLIC
