Broken Arrow (military)

Broken Arrow was a radio call code indicating that a ground unit was facing imminent destruction from enemy attack and that all available combat aircraft were to immediately provide close air support against enemy positions, even those close to the position of US troops.

The reason for calling in this order indicated a US position was being overrun, or faced imminent destruction from enemy attack, and can no longer be defended with available troops.
