[quote=@HeySeuss]Same thing with the kind of guys that made resupply runs for the Air Cav or at Khe Sanh.

So I might play a mix of Forward Observer officers, pilots of airlift, resupply and combat aircraft and, depending on the region, this could involve naval gunfire as well.

Assuming this all works for you [@Jaredthefox92], I am just brainstorming my thoughts here.[/quote]
I was considering doing something with the 173rd Airborne Brigade. 1st & 2nd Battalions, 503rd PIR made the one and only combat jump of the Vietnam War at Dak To in 1967. I'm not interested in recreating the jump. But I will take 1st Battalion, 503rd PIR and use their assets to support your intentions. I could use a company or two to conduct area ambushes in an attempt to prevent the PAVN forces from finding your downed pilot. I could even use the 173rd LRRS-D to operate within close vicinity of the pilot to help cordon off the area and be prepared to conduct the actual rescue; assuming these "Sky Soldiers" don't get put into a position where they are the ones in need of rescuing.
