Soar to Success with the 2025 BOLC Aviation Tactics Exam – Take Flight and Lead the Way!

The concept of "Maximize engagement" is not considered one of the hot landing zone (LZ) procedures recognized by the AATFC (Aviation Advanced Tactical Flight Command). Hot LZ procedures are critical for ensuring the safety and success of troop insertions in areas where enemy contact is expected.

In this context, focusing on “Maximize engagement” implies a strategy that places heavy emphasis on engagement with enemies rather than ensuring the safe insertion of troops. The correct focus in a hot LZ scenario includes risk management and actions aimed at troop safety and mission completion, such as fighting through any enemy contact, diverting to alternate LZs if the situation becomes too risky, or aborting remaining serials to prevent additional casualties or mission failure if the conditions deteriorate.

Each of the other considerations addresses crucial tactical responses to the dynamic and hazardous environment of a hot LZ, emphasizing protection and adaptability in the face of enemy threats.
