  AIR FORCE VERBALLY INITIATED RELEASE SYSTEM
  6-111. When using USAF VIRS, the DZST leader verbally guides the pilot over the RP to align the
  aircraft for the drop. Figure 6-14 shows an example USAF VIRS transmission.

  6-112. The leader uses this method when the tactical situation prevents use of regular markings or when
  aircraft pilots could not see regular markings from the air.
  6-113. He establishes the VIRS DZ just as he would establish a GMRS or rotary-wing VIRS release
  point. (Figure 6-8, page 6-30, shows how to determine the location of the release point.) Unlike those
  release points, however, the USAF VIRS DZ RP requires no markings.
  6-114. The leader sets up communications with the drop aircraft and at least two FM, VHF, and UHF
  radios on the DZ.
  6-115. He transmits concise instructions to the aircraft. To align the aircraft on the desired inbound
  heading, he gives left and right turns. When the aircraft lines up on course, the pathfinder signals STOP
  TURN. About five seconds before the release, or at some other moment (as briefed), he signals
  STANDBY.
  6-116. When the aircraft reaches the predetermined release point, the pathfinder leader gives an
  EXECUTE three times.
  6-117. When transmitting the MEW to the aircraft, he makes sure to identify it as such. He states the
  altitude used to obtain it. He also provides pertinent details about any erratic winds or wind shears reported
  by other aircraft.
  AIR FORCE COMPUTED AIR RELEASE POINT
  6-118. The DZST leader and DZ party mark the point of impact on a surveyed DZ. The aircraft navigator
  computes the release point from the air.
  COORDINATION
  6-119. Coordinate authentication markings with the aircrew.
  CODE LETTER ELEVATION
  6-120. Never elevate the panels in the code letter.
