HMLA-775 conducts egress drills for downed aircraft

 

The wing better wrap their brains around immediate evacuation via buddy aircraft cause if they think they're gonna be able to defend their position against anything more than a boy scout troop they're smoking crack. I don't think an aircrew could successfully defend against irregulars much less a nation state ground force.  Of course this is all compounded by the problem of operating at distance and in a dispersed fashion.
