Who is typically one of the first to deploy on the Advanced Echelon team?

An experienced AFE supervisor is typically one of the first to deploy on the Advanced Echelon team due to their extensive knowledge and expertise in aircrew flight equipment systems and procedures. Their experience plays a crucial role in quickly assessing the operational environment, coordinating the initial setup, and managing the deployment of resources effectively.

The supervisor's role often includes not only ensuring that the equipment is ready for use but also leading a team in establishing essential operational protocols. This experience enables them to make critical decisions and provide guidance that ensures the overall mission success from the outset. They can also effectively communicate with other units and troubleshooting challenges that may arise early in the deployment process, ensuring smooth operations for the aircrew.
