Establish an HLZ

Minimum diameter required for

an HLZ by Helicopter type:

*ground must be free of debris and

loose sand. If you can drive a 5 ton
over the HLZ, the ground is solid
enough for a UH-60 to land HLZ

1. Lead vehicle enters HLZ from the road side (6 o’clock) and travels all the way
through to the far side (12 o’clock), clearing out the middle.
2. If only four vehicles, trucks 2 and 3 will go to the 9 and 3 position clearing the
sides and the last vehicle will take the 6 o’clock.
3. If more than four vehicles, they will fill in between 11 - 7 o’clock and 1 – 5

Equalizers are O/O to provide direct and continuous support to

ourselves, 588 BEB and 3 ABCT Headquarters while operating in a
Decisive Action Environment. We know the Army values and live by
them. When support is required we act with speed; the enemy will
not have the upper hand; we will surprise the enemy and react with
violence. We alone enable the Battalion and Brigade to Shoot, Move
and Communicate. There is no vehicle that we cannot fix and no
distance we cannot move. No Soldier in 588 BEB will go hungry, go
without fuel in their trucks, ammunition in their weapons, or be left
broken down on the side of the road in a foreign country. We are
Soldiers, tasked to slay the enemies of Freedom. But we are more
than that, we are Mechanics, Cooks, Transporters, Fuelers, and
Ammo Handlers…
We are the Equalizers on the Battlefield.
