+-- This section must be read as follows. Each of the rows indicate a state transition, triggered through an event, and with an ending state of the event was executed.
+-- The first column is the **From** state, the second column the **Event**, and the third column the **To** state.
 -- 
--- ### 2.1. AI_A2A States
+-- So, each of the rows have the following structure.
 -- 
---   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
---   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
---   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base.
---   * **Stopped** ( Group ): The process is stopped.
---   * **Crashed** ( Group ): The AI has crashed or is dead.
+--   * **From** => **Event** => **To**
 -- 
--- ### 2.2. AI_A2A Events
+-- Important to know is that an event can only be executed if the **current state** is the **From** state.
+-- This, when an **Event** that is being triggered has a **From** state that is equal to the **Current** state of the state machine, the event will be executed,
+-- and the resulting state will be the **To** state.
 -- 
---   * **Start** ( Group ): Start the process.
---   * **Stop** ( Group ): Stop the process.
---   * **Route** ( Group ): Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
---   * **RTB** ( Group ): Route the AI to the home base.
---   * **Detect** ( Group ): The AI is detecting targets.
---   * **Detected** ( Group ): The AI has detected new targets.
---   * **Status** ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the tresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
---    
--- ## 3. Set or Get the AI controllable
+-- These are the different possible state transitions of this state machine implementation: 
 -- 
---   * @{#AI_A2A.SetControllable}(): Set the AIControllable.

+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia3.JPG)
+-- 
+-- The AI_AIR_ENGAGE is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_AIR_ENGAGE process can be started using the **Start** event.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia4.JPG)
+-- 
+-- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
+-- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia5.JPG)
+-- 
+-- This cycle will continue.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia6.JPG)
+-- 
+-- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
+--
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia9.JPG)
+-- 
+-- When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy.

+
+--- The AI_AIR_PATROL class implements the core functions to patrol a @{Zone} by an AI @{Wrapper.Group} or @{Wrapper.Group} 
+-- and automatically engage any airborne enemies that are within a certain range or within a certain zone.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia3.JPG)
+-- 
+-- The AI_AIR_PATROL is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_AIR_PATROL process can be started using the **Start** event.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia4.JPG)
+-- 
+-- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
+-- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia5.JPG)
+-- 
+-- This cycle will continue.
+-- 
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia6.JPG)
+-- 
+-- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
+--
+-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia9.JPG)
+-- 
+-- When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy.

+-- 
+-- Until a fuel or damage treshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.

+-- 
+--   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
+--   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
+--   * **Engaging** ( Group ): The AI is engaging the bogeys.

+-- 
+--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Start}**: Start the process.
+--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.PatrolRoute}**: Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.

+--   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Destroy}**: The AI has destroyed a bogey @{Wrapper.Unit}.
+--   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Destroyed}**: The AI has destroyed all bogeys @{Wrapper.Unit}s assigned in the CAS task.

+--
+-- @module AI.AI_Cargo_APC
+-- @image AI_Cargo_Dispatching_For_APC.JPG
+
+--- @type AI_CARGO_APC
+-- @extends AI.AI_Cargo#AI_CARGO
+
+
+--- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI vehicle group.
+-- 
+-- Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC), Trucks, Jeeps and other ground based carrier equipment can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation.
+-- 
+-- The AI_CARGO_APC class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
+-- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_APC object recognize the cargo.
+-- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information. 
+-- 
+-- ## Cargo loading.
+-- 
+-- The module will load automatically cargo when the APCs are within boarding or loading radius.
+-- The boarding or loading radius is specified when the cargo is created in the simulation, and therefore, this radius depends on the type of cargo
+-- and the specified boarding radius.
+-- 
+-- ## **Defending** the APCs when enemies nearby.
+-- 
+-- Cargo will defend the carrier with its available arms, and to avoid cargo being lost within the battlefield.
+--  
+-- When the APCs are approaching enemy units, something special is happening. 
+-- The APCs will stop moving, and the loaded infantry will unboard and follow the APCs and will help to defend the group.
+-- The carrier will hold the route once the unboarded infantry is further than 50 meters from the APCs, 
+-- to ensure that the APCs are not too far away from the following running infantry.
+-- Once all enemies are cleared, the infantry will board again automatically into the APCs. Once boarded, the APCs will follow its pre-defined route.
+-- 
+-- A combat radius needs to be specified in meters at the @{#AI_CARGO_APC.New}() method. 
+-- This combat radius will trigger the unboarding of troops when enemies are within the combat radius around the APCs.
+-- During my tests, I've noticed that there is a balance between ensuring that the infantry is within sufficient hit radius (effectiveness) versus
+-- vulnerability of the infantry. It all depends on the kind of enemies that are expected to be encountered. 
+-- A combat radius of 350 meters to 500 meters has been proven to be the most effective and efficient.
+-- 
+-- However, when the defense of the carrier, is not required, it must be switched off.
+-- This is done by disabling the defense of the carrier using the method @{#AI_CARGO_APC.SetCombatRadius}(), and providing a combat radius of 0 meters.
+-- It can be switched on later when required by reenabling the defense using the method and providing a combat radius larger than 0.
+-- 
+-- ## Infantry or cargo **health**.
+-- 
+-- When infantry is unboarded from the APCs, the infantry is actually respawned into the battlefield. 
+-- As a result, the unboarding infantry is very _healthy_ every time it unboards.
+-- This is due to the limitation of the DCS simulator, which is not able to specify the health of new spawned units as a parameter.
+-- However, infantry that was destroyed when unboarded and following the APCs, won't be respawned again. Destroyed is destroyed.
+-- As a result, there is some additional strength that is gained when an unboarding action happens, but in terms of simulation balance this has
+-- marginal impact on the overall battlefield simulation. Fortunately, the firing strength of infantry is limited, and thus, respacing healthy infantry every
+-- time is not so much of an issue ... 
+-- 
+-- ## Control the APCs on the map.
+-- 
+-- It is possible also as a human ground commander to influence the path of the APCs, by pointing a new path using the DCS user interface on the map.
+-- In this case, the APCs will change the direction towards its new indicated route. However, there is a catch!
+-- Once the APCs are near the enemy, and infantry is unboarded, the APCs won't be able to hold the route until the infantry could catch up.
+-- The APCs will simply drive on and won't stop! This is a limitation in ED that prevents user actions being controlled by the scripting engine.
+-- No workaround is possible on this.
+-- 
+-- ## Cargo deployment.
+--  
+-- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_APC.Deploy}() method, you are able to direct the APCs towards a point on the battlefield to unboard/unload the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
+-- The APCs will follow nearby roads as much as possible, to ensure fast and clean cargo transportation between the objects and villages in the simulation environment.
+-- 
+-- ## Cargo pickup.
+--  
+-- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_APC.Pickup}() method, you are able to direct the APCs towards a point on the battlefield to board/load the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
+-- The APCs will follow nearby roads as much as possible, to ensure fast and clean cargo transportation between the objects and villages in the simulation environment.

+-- @module AI.AI_Cargo_Airplane
+-- @image AI_Cargo_Dispatching_For_Airplanes.JPG
+
+--- @type AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE
+-- @extends Core.Fsm#FSM_CONTROLLABLE
+
+
+--- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI airplane group.
+--  
+-- Airplane carrier equipment can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation between airbases.
+-- 
+-- The AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE module uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
+-- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission to make AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE recognize the cargo.
+-- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information. 
+-- 
+-- ## Cargo pickup.
+--  
+-- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE.Pickup}() method, you are able to direct the helicopters towards a point on the battlefield to board/load the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
+-- Ensure that the landing zone is horizontally flat, and that trees cannot be found in the landing vicinity, or the helicopters won't land or will even crash!
+-- 
+-- ## Cargo deployment.
+--  
+-- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE.Deploy}() method, you are able to direct the helicopters towards a point on the battlefield to unboard/unload the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
+-- Ensure that the landing zone is horizontally flat, and that trees cannot be found in the landing vicinity, or the helicopters won't land or will even crash!
+-- 
+-- ## Infantry health.
+-- 
+-- When infantry is unboarded from the APCs, the infantry is actually respawned into the battlefield. 
+-- As a result, the unboarding infantry is very _healthy_ every time it unboards.
+-- This is due to the limitation of the DCS simulator, which is not able to specify the health of new spawned units as a parameter.
+-- However, infantry that was destroyed when unboarded, won't be respawned again. Destroyed is destroyed.
+-- As a result, there is some additional strength that is gained when an unboarding action happens, but in terms of simulation balance this has
+-- marginal impact on the overall battlefield simulation. Fortunately, the firing strength of infantry is limited, and thus, respacing healthy infantry every
+-- time is not so much of an issue ...

+-- @module AI.AI_Cargo_Helicopter
+-- @image AI_Cargo_Dispatching_For_Helicopters.JPG
+
+--- @type AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER
+-- @extends Core.Fsm#FSM_CONTROLLABLE
+
+
+--- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI helicopter group.
+--  
+-- Helicopter carriers can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation.
+-- 
+-- The AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
+-- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER object recognize the cargo.
+-- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information. 
+-- 
+-- ## Cargo pickup.
+--  
+-- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER.Pickup}() method, you are able to direct the helicopters towards a point on the battlefield to board/load the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
+-- Ensure that the landing zone is horizontally flat, and that trees cannot be found in the landing vicinity, or the helicopters won't land or will even crash!
+-- 
+-- ## Cargo deployment.
+--  
+-- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER.Deploy}() method, you are able to direct the helicopters towards a point on the battlefield to unboard/unload the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
+-- Ensure that the landing zone is horizontally flat, and that trees cannot be found in the landing vicinity, or the helicopters won't land or will even crash!
+-- 
+-- ## Infantry health.
+-- 
+-- When infantry is unboarded from the APCs, the infantry is actually respawned into the battlefield. 
+-- As a result, the unboarding infantry is very _healthy_ every time it unboards.
+-- This is due to the limitation of the DCS simulator, which is not able to specify the health of new spawned units as a parameter.
+-- However, infantry that was destroyed when unboarded, won't be respawned again. Destroyed is destroyed.
+-- As a result, there is some additional strength that is gained when an unboarding action happens, but in terms of simulation balance this has
+-- marginal impact on the overall battlefield simulation. Fortunately, the firing strength of infantry is limited, and thus, respacing healthy infantry every
+-- time is not so much of an issue ...

+--   * Escort tactical situation reporting.

+-- ===
+-- 
+-- ## Missions:
+-- 
+-- [ESC - Escorting](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/master/ESC%20-%20Escorting)
+-- 
+-- ===
+-- 
+-- Allows you to interact with escorting AI on your flight and take the lead.
+-- 
+-- Each escorting group can be commanded with a complete set of radio commands (radio menu in your flight, and then F10).
+--
+-- The radio commands will vary according the category of the group. The richest set of commands are with helicopters and airPlanes.
+-- Ships and Ground troops will have a more limited set, but they can provide support through the bombing of targets designated by the other escorts.
+-- 
+-- Escorts detect targets using a built-in detection mechanism. The detected targets are reported at a specified time interval.
+-- Once targets are reported, each escort has these targets as menu options to command the attack of these targets.
+-- Targets are by default grouped per area of 5000 meters, but the kind of detection and the grouping range can be altered.
+-- 
+-- Different formations can be selected in the Flight menu: Trail, Stack, Left Line, Right Line, Left Wing, Right Wing, Central Wing and Boxed formations are available.
+-- The Flight menu also allows for a mass attack, where all of the escorts are commanded to attack a target.
+-- 
+-- Escorts can emit flares to reports their location. They can be commanded to hold at a location, which can be their current or the leader location.
+-- In this way, you can spread out the escorts over the battle field before a coordinated attack.
+-- 
+-- But basically, the escort class provides 4 modes of operation, and depending on the mode, you are either leading the flight, or following the flight.
+-- 
+-- ## Leading the flight
+-- 
+-- When leading the flight, you are expected to guide the escorts towards the target areas, 
+-- and carefully coordinate the attack based on the threat levels reported, and the available weapons
+-- carried by the escorts. Ground ships or ground troops can execute A-assisted attacks, when they have long-range ground precision weapons for attack.
+-- 
+-- ## Following the flight
+-- 
+-- Escorts can be commanded to execute a specific mission path. In this mode, the escorts are in the lead.
+-- You as a player, are following the escorts, and are commanding them to progress the mission while
+-- ensuring that the escorts survive. You are joining the escorts in the battlefield. They will detect and report targets
+-- and you will ensure that the attacks are well coordinated, assigning the correct escort type for the detected target
+-- type. Once the attack is finished, the escort will resume the mission it was assigned.
+-- In other words, you can use the escorts for reconnaissance, and for guiding the attack.
+-- Imagine you as a mi-8 pilot, assigned to pickup cargo. Two ka-50s are guiding the way, and you are
+-- following. You are in control. The ka-50s detect targets, report them, and you command how the attack
+-- will commence and from where. You can control where the escorts are holding position and which targets
+-- are attacked first. You are in control how the ka-50s will follow their mission path.
+-- 
+-- Escorts can act as part of a AI A2G dispatcher offensive. In this way, You was a player are in control.
+-- The mission is defined by the A2G dispatcher, and you are responsible to join the flight and ensure that the
+-- attack is well coordinated.
+-- 
+-- It is with great proud that I present you this class, and I hope you will enjoy the functionality and the dynamism
+-- it brings in your DCS world simulations.
+-- 
+-- # RADIO MENUs that can be created:
+-- 
+-- Find a summary below of the current available commands:
+--
+-- ## Navigation ...:
+-- 
+-- Escort group navigation functions:
+--
+--   * **"Join-Up":** The escort group fill follow you in the assigned formation.
+--   * **"Flare":** Provides menu commands to let the escort group shoot a flare in the air in a color.
+--   * **"Smoke":** Provides menu commands to let the escort group smoke the air in a color. Note that smoking is only available for ground and naval troops.
+--
+-- ## Hold position ...:
+-- 
+-- Escort group navigation functions:
+--
+--   * **"At current location":** The escort group will hover above the ground at the position they were. The altitude can be specified as a parameter.
+--   * **"At my location":** The escort group will hover or orbit at the position where you are. The escort will fly to your location and hold position. The altitude can be specified as a parameter.
+--
+-- ## Report targets ...:
+-- 
+-- Report targets will make the escort group to report any target that it identifies within detection range. Any detected target can be attacked using the "Attack Targets" menu function. (see below).
+--
+--   * **"Report now":** Will report the current detected targets.
+--   * **"Report targets on":** Will make the escorts to report the detected targets and will fill the "Attack Targets" menu list.
+--   * **"Report targets off":** Will stop detecting targets.
+--
+-- ## Attack targets ...:
+-- 
+-- This menu item will list all detected targets within a 15km range. Depending on the level of detection (known/unknown) and visuality, the targets type will also be listed.
+-- This menu will be available in Flight menu or in each Escort menu.
+--
+-- ## Scan targets ...:
+-- 
+-- Menu items to pop-up the escort group for target scanning. After scanning, the escort group will resume with the mission or rejoin formation.
+--
+--   * **"Scan targets 30 seconds":** Scan 30 seconds for targets.
+--   * **"Scan targets 60 seconds":** Scan 60 seconds for targets.
+--
+-- ## Request assistance from ...:
+-- 
+-- This menu item will list all detected targets within a 15km range, similar as with the menu item **Attack Targets**.
+-- This menu item allows to request attack support from other ground based escorts supporting the current escort.
+-- eg. the function allows a player to request support from the Ship escort to attack a target identified by the Plane escort with its Tomahawk missiles.
+-- eg. the function allows a player to request support from other Planes escorting to bomb the unit with illumination missiles or bombs, so that the main plane escort can attack the area.
+--
+-- ## ROE ...:
+-- 
+-- Sets the Rules of Engagement (ROE) of the escort group when in flight.
+--
+--   * **"Hold Fire":** The escort group will hold fire.
+--   * **"Return Fire":** The escort group will return fire.
+--   * **"Open Fire":** The escort group will open fire on designated targets.
+--   * **"Weapon Free":** The escort group will engage with any target.
+--
+-- ## Evasion ...:
+-- 
+-- Will define the evasion techniques that the escort group will perform during flight or combat.
+--
+--   * **"Fight until death":** The escort group will have no reaction to threats.
+--   * **"Use flares, chaff and jammers":** The escort group will use passive defense using flares and jammers. No evasive manoeuvres are executed.
+--   * **"Evade enemy fire":** The rescort group will evade enemy fire before firing.
+--   * **"Go below radar and evade fire":** The escort group will perform evasive vertical manoeuvres.
+--
+-- ## Resume Mission ...:
+-- 
+-- Escort groups can have their own mission. This menu item will allow the escort group to resume their Mission from a given waypoint.
+-- Note that this is really fantastic, as you now have the dynamic of taking control of the escort groups, and allowing them to resume their path or mission.

--- AI_FORMATION makes AI @{GROUP}s fly in formation of various compositions.
--- The AI_FORMATION class models formations in a different manner than the internal DCS formation logic!!!
--- The purpose of the class is to:
--- 
---   * Make formation building a process that can be managed while in flight, rather than a task.
---   * Human players can guide formations, consisting of larget planes.
---   * Build large formations (like a large bomber field).
---   * Form formations that DCS does not support off the shelve.
--- 
--- A few remarks:
--- 
---   * Depending on the type of plane, the change in direction by the leader may result in the formation getting disentangled while in flight and needs to be rebuild.
---   * Formations are vulnerable to collissions, but is depending on the type of plane, the distance between the planes and the speed and angle executed by the leader.
---   * Formations may take a while to build up.
--- 
--- As a result, the AI_FORMATION is not perfect, but is very useful to:
--- 
---   * Model large formations when flying straight line.
---   * Make humans guide a large formation, when the planes are wide from each other.
--- 
--- There are the following types of classes defined:
--- 
---   * @{#AI_FORMATION}: Create a formation from several @{GROUP}s.

+-- ## Features:
+--
+--
+--  * Try to keep the airbase clean and operational.
+--  * Prevent airplanes from crashing.
+--  * Clean up obstructing airplanes from the runway that are standing still for a period of time.
+--  * Prevent airplanes firing missiles within the airbase zone.
+--
+-- ===
+--
+-- ## Missions:
+--
+-- [CLA - CleanUp Airbase](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/master/CLA%20-%20CleanUp%20Airbase)
+--
+-- ===
+--
+-- Specific airbases need to be provided that need to be guarded. Each airbase registered, will be guarded within a zone of 8 km around the airbase.
+-- Any unit that fires a missile, or shoots within the zone of an airbase, will be monitored by CLEANUP_AIRBASE.
+-- Within the 8km zone, units cannot fire any missile, which prevents the airbase runway to receive missile or bomb hits.
+-- Any airborne or ground unit that is on the runway below 30 meters (default value) will be automatically removed if it is damaged.
+--
+-- This is not a full 100% secure implementation. It is still possible that CLEANUP_AIRBASE cannot prevent (in-time) to keep the airbase clean.
+-- The following situations may happen that will still stop the runway of an airbase:
+--
+--   * A damaged unit is not removed on time when above the runway, and crashes on the runway.
+--   * A bomb or missile is still able to dropped on the runway.
+--   * Units collide on the airbase, and could not be removed on time.
+--
+-- When a unit is within the airbase zone and needs to be monitored,
+-- its status will be checked every 0.25 seconds! This is required to ensure that the airbase is kept clean.
+-- But as a result, there is more CPU overload.
+--
+-- So as an advise, I suggest you use the CLEANUP_AIRBASE class with care:

--- 
--- The CLEANUP_AIRBASE class keeps airbases clean, and tries to guarantee continuous airbase operations, even under combat.
--- Specific airbases need to be provided that need to be guarded. Each airbase registered, will be guarded within a zone of 8 km around the airbase.
--- Any unit that fires a missile, or shoots within the zone of an airbase, will be monitored by CLEANUP_AIRBASE.
--- Within the 8km zone, units cannot fire any missile, which prevents the airbase runway to receive missile or bomb hits. 
--- Any airborne or ground unit that is on the runway below 30 meters (default value) will be automatically removed if it is damaged.
--- 
--- This is not a full 100% secure implementation. It is still possible that CLEANUP_AIRBASE cannot prevent (in-time) to keep the airbase clean.
--- The following situations may happen that will still stop the runway of an airbase:
--- 
---   * A damaged unit is not removed on time when above the runway, and crashes on the runway.
---   * A bomb or missile is still able to dropped on the runway.
---   * Units collide on the airbase, and could not be removed on time.
---   
--- When a unit is within the airbase zone and needs to be monitored,
--- its status will be checked every 0.25 seconds! This is required to ensure that the airbase is kept clean.
--- But as a result, there is more CPU overload.
--- 
--- So as an advise, I suggest you use the CLEANUP_AIRBASE class with care:
--- 
---   * Only monitor airbases that really need to be monitored!
---   * Try not to monitor airbases that are likely to be invaded by enemy troops.
---     For these airbases, there is little use to keep them clean, as they will be invaded anyway...
---     
--- By following the above guidelines, you can add airbase cleanup with acceptable CPU overhead.

--- @{#ESCORT} class
--- ================
--- The @{#ESCORT} class allows you to interact with escorting AI on your flight and take the lead.
 -- Each escorting group can be commanded with a whole set of radio commands (radio menu in your flight, and then F10).
 --
 -- The radio commands will vary according the category of the group. The richest set of commands are with Helicopters and AirPlanes.
 -- Ships and Ground troops will have a more limited set, but they can provide support through the bombing of targets designated by the other escorts.
