role is particularly relevant to Hong Kong for IS and could require one
Scout ACP at each level of command simultaneously
-
company, battalion and
brigade. In addition Scout helicopters would still be required to meet a

Resupply
Casualty evacuation
Nitesun (searchlight illumination)
Skydrop (Roof-top insertion)
Aerial Platform for specialist
IED equipment
Air Photography
Courier
'Eagle' operations
A minimum of 4 Scouts would therefore be required until the Sovereign Force
could be reduced to a single battalion - the ultimate intention - when 3
Scouts would be adequate.
