What reference material covers LZ/PZ operations?

The reference material that covers LZ/PZ operations is FM 3-21.38. This field manual provides comprehensive guidance on the planning, setup, and execution of landing zones (LZ) and pickup zones (PZ) specific to air assault operations and is essential for soldiers involved in those missions. It includes information on considerations for selecting LZ/PZ sites, safety measures, and the integration of different aerial assets in support of an operation.

This manual is specifically designed for air assault operations, making it the primary and most relevant resource for understanding the complexities and procedures required in LZ/PZ operations. Other materials, while valuable for different aspects of military operations, do not focus on LZ/PZ operations in the same detailed manner that FM 3-21.38 does.
