  MAXIMUM DESTRUCTION ATTACK
  3-37. To exert maximum combat power on the enemy force, the commander employs the maximum
  destruction method (figure 3-11, page 3-13). To overwhelm the enemy force with massed fires, the
  battalion attacks with all three companies simultaneously. While employing this method, it is important for
  the supported commander to understand the entire battalion may be out of the fight for 45 to 90 minutes at
  the completion of the initial attack. The time away from the fight is dependent on the distance to the FARP
  and time required for refueling and rearming after the initial engagement. Employing a maximum
  destruction attack may result in a large portion of the AB being unable to conduct further missions for at
  least 24 hours following the completion of the mission.

  STRIKE COORDINATION AND RECONNAISSANCE TACTICS,
  TECHNIQUES, AND PROCEDURES
  3-38. Strike coordination and reconnaissance (SCAR) is a mission flown for the purpose of detecting
  targets and coordinating or performing attack or reconnaissance on those targets (JP 3-03). SCAR missions
  are flown in a specific geographic area and are used to match weapons effects with targets per the
  supported commander’s prioritized target list. A SCAR mission is designed to effectively and efficiently
  destroy targets and conduct associated BDA. A SCAR aircrew coordinates the identification of targets and
  subsequent attacks using multiple reconnaissance and strike assets. Army aircrews perform SCAR by
  conducting attacks against enemy forces out of friendly contact with friendly maneuver forces. If required
