All call-outs are subject to approval by LEAC command. If the mission falls within the capabilities of our aircraft, equipment and crew, and assuming the weather is conducive for flight, LEAC will arrange for an AIR-ONE helicopter to be launched as soon as possible to your location. The safety of the crew and all personnel on the ground is our #1 priority. LEAC cannot guarantee availability and all mission call-outs are evaluated individually from a safety and capability standpoint. LEAC may also dispatch ground support personnel to your location to assist with landing zones and helicopter refueling if necessary. Our personnel will check in with your command post upon arrival where applicable. There is no-charge to the requesting agency for the air support service.
