To maintain shared understanding and prevent burdening the commander in contact during execution, the attack or reconnaissance unit conducting hasty and deliberate attacks against enemy forces in close friendly contact monitors the primary supported ground unit voice command net and uses C2 information systems (such as Blue Force Tracker) to gain and maintain situational understanding of friendly forces. Use of these systems and effective pre-mission planning enables Army Aviation attack or reconnaissance units to rapidly execute actions on contact and mitigates the risk of fratricide.
