used as long as all mandatory items are covered.

3. Information contained on the Mission Schedule/Brief does not relieve aircrewmembers from the

requirement to know and adhere to applicable regulations, SOPs, and policies.

4. Supporting and supported unit commanders coordinate and designate command relationships to

execute mission briefings when aircrews are separated from their parent unit.
