The preceding analysis should identify shortfalls in PRcapabilities, allowing the planner to estimate the number, types and locations forrecovery assets. Consideration will have to be given to dedicating assets specificallyfor PR, or designating them (double-earmarking) whereby they are routinelyused for other tasks and re-tasked for PR missions, if available, when requested.Risk and delays will usually be associated with double-earmarking and a dedicatedallocation of recovery assets for PR is preferable. However, given the usual shortfallof Support Helicopter (SH) lift, designating assets is usually required. The PRplanner should identify particular periods of high risk and, if possible, dedicateassets appropriately. This may need resolution and direction from the JFC .
