Okay... but I picked this up from Wikipedia's Fireforce article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireforce:

Fireforce is a variant of the tactic of vertical envelopment of a target by helicopter-borne and parachute infantry developed by the Rhodesian Security Forces[1] during the Rhodesian Bush War. Fireforce counter-insurgency missions were designed to trap and eliminate Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army and Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army insurgents before they could flee.[2]

Fireforce reacted to enemy ambushes, farm attacks, or observation post (OP) sightings, and could also be called in by trackers or patrols who had made contact with the enemy and then called for reinforcements.[2] Fireforce was first deployed in January 1974, and saw its first action a month later on 24 February 1974.[3]

Fireforce was an operational assault or response usually composed of a first wave of 32 soldiers carried to the scene by three helicopters (G-Cars) and one Dakota (or Caracal in this case), with a command/gunship helicopter (Tigers will be the gunship while the commander can watch the battle through a recon UAV) and a light attack aircraft in support (ommitted in this case, the Tigers will take over this job). One of the advantages of the Fireforce was its flexibility, as all that was needed was a reasonable airstrip.

I understand if you don't want to include Fireforce, and if you're not a fan of military tactics, that's okay...
