How are GTA map markings indicated from the CCP and RP to the Operational Point?

When indicating the distance between the Casualty Collection Point (CCP) and the Recovery Point (RP) to the Operational Point using GTA (Ground Tactical Area) map markings, a range of 6 to 8 kilometers is typically considered standard. This distance ensures effective operational coordination and allows for adequate response time and coverage areas for helicopter landings in tactical scenarios.

Using this distance helps in planning safe flight paths, minimizing risks, and ensuring that the operational area is adequately supported by recovery operations. The larger range provides sufficient space to account for terrain variations, potential obstacles, and the need for precise navigation especially in a military operational context where accuracy can be critical for mission success.
