Where is the control center located for PE drops?

The control center for personnel drop operations, especially during a Precision (PE) drop, is situated at the Point of Impact (PI). This location is crucial as it allows personnel in the control center to effectively monitor the drop zone conditions, maintain visibility of the parachute operation, and manage any potential emergencies that could arise during the drop. The control center's proximity to the PI ensures that the personnel can quickly respond to incidents and coordinate the drop with minimal delay or confusion.

The other locations mentioned, such as the drop zone (DZ) or distances relative to various points, do not provide the same level of effectiveness for monitoring the drop and ensuring safety during the operation. The PI is specifically chosen for the control center's location because of its direct relationship to the objective, rather than random distances that do not align with operational needs.
