Close Air Support (CAS) is a military tactic where aircraft provide direct support to ground forces engaged in combat. This support can include attacking enemy positions, providing reconnaissance, and delivering supplies. The goal is to assist troops in real-time, enhancing their effectiveness and safety during operations. CAS missions require precise coordination between ground and air units to avoid friendly fire and ensure accurate targeting. Pilots often work closely with ground commanders to understand the battlefield situation and respond quickly to changing conditions. This collaboration is crucial for successful operations and minimizing risks to both soldiers and civilians.
