Sustainment Planning Factors 07 December 2020 ATP 5-0.2-1 279 Aircraft Recovery G-122. Aircraft recovery types follow the same scheme as vehicle recovery with some additions. Aircraft recovery comprises four types: Self recovery is defined as actions required for an aircraft to fly out under its own power to either rejoin the mission or undergo additional repairs or inspections at a maintenance area. Immediate recovery is performed by assets within a flight mission that assumes the tactical situation permits a recovery with the forces at hand without detailed planning or coordination. Delayed recovery is a planned or coordinated aircraft recovery mission performed by the Downed Aircraft Recovery Team (DART) with the intent to repair or replace damaged components to return the aircraft to flying status. Dedicated recovery are actions required to extract an aircraft by means of an aerial or surface recovery vehicle to a maintenance area for repairs or inspections. Dedicated recovery is most often associated with delayed recovery. Additional information concerning aircraft recovery responsibilities and procedures can be found in ATP 3-04.13. FIELD SERVICES G-123. The material in this section is derived from JP 4-03, ATP 4-41, ATP 4-42, and ATP 4-44. G-124. Field services include shower and laundry, field feeding, water production and distribution, clothing and light textile repair, aerial delivery, and mortuary affairs. Many of these services are provided by operational contract support and are integrated into the theater plan. The TSC or ESC provides contracts for and provision of services and requests for forces for services unavailable by contract, such as water production, distribution, aerial delivery, and mortuary affairs. The SB and the maneuver enhancement brigade provide contracting officer representatives, command and control, and distribution management of field services in the AO. G-125. In LSCO, services to all members of the force will likely be reduced. Water production, purification, and distribution will retain priority over shower, laundry, and textile repair. Additionally, field feeding may be reduced to minimal events. These services will be reduced to rotational provisions in much the same way as personnel services. Services will be reduced to rotational events forward or static locations where units are rotated through in conjunction with force rotations. LSCO will likely overwhelm the mortuary affairs system. Planners at all echelons must anticipate the expected and potential need for increased mortuary affairs services due to the intensity of the conflict, mission, tempo, and lethality of the enemy. Field Feeding G-126. Food preparation is a basic unit function and one of the most important factors in Soldiers' health, morale, and welfare (see AR 30-22 for more information). Proper refuse and waste disposal is important to avoid unit signature trails and maintain field sanitation standards (see table G-22 on page 280 and supply and resupply beginning at paragraph G-46 for details on meal types).
