    "Broken Arrow" as I understand it is a distress call that is sent when a position is over run.
    Every available asset is sent to assist.

    It is for when the SHTF, and they have no other options. Air support, artillery. ETC...
    My dad told me about a battle his unit was in, in Vietnam. Where the command called that in. All he said, that it was not a good day. Thats all he said, and I didn't dig.
