How it works:

F10 layout: Personal / CSAR / CTLD / Salvage / Interrogation / Factory Menu.

The Rescue Duty toggle is in the Personal Menu. Most active rescue and salvage actions require Rescue Duty ON.

CSAR Menu

* List Active Pickups

* Show Pickups on Map

* Pick up nearby rescue

* Check Onboard

* Offload Pickups

* Request Signal Flare

* Request Smoke

CSAR / SAR flow

: 1. Turn ON Rescue Duty (Personal Menu -> Toggle Rescue Duty).

: 2. Show Pickups on Map or List Active Pickups to find rescue markers.

: 3. Request Signal Flare / Request Smoke to localize a friendly survivor when needed.

: 4. Land near the survivor and use Pick up nearby rescue.

: 5. To move survivors toward a safer pickup, place a map mark with text: CSAR exfil. Nearby rescue locations move toward the mark.

: 6. Land near a friendly airbase and Offload Pickups.

''UH-60 on CSAR duty -- ready to pluck your pilots out of the water if needed''

[[File:UH-60-carrier-approach.jpg|600px|center|UH-60 returning to the boat after a CSAR pickup.]]

''UH-60 returning to the boat — survivors aboard.''

Salvage Menu

* Pick up nearby (250 kg)

* Pick up nearby (500 kg)

* Pick up nearby (1000 kg)

* Pick up nearby (All remaining)

* Drop off

* Emergency Jett!

* List salvage jobs map wide

* Show Salvage on Map

Salvage flow

: 1. Show Salvage on Map (markers are separate from CSAR markers).

: 2. Salvage pickup requires a helicopter, Rescue Duty ON, and landing near the wreck.

: 3. Choose pickup amount: 250 kg / 500 kg / 1000 kg / All remaining.

: 4. Drop off to unload. Factory drop-offs and airbase drop-offs both pay but use different payout multipliers.

: 5. Coalition salvage credit feeds the salvage pot, which funds Factory production.

: 6. Emergency Jett! discards all onboard rescue/salvage payload.

: 7. Landing near a valid airbase or factory can auto-trigger offload after a short delay where enabled.

Interrogation Menu

* Request status

* Request collected info

* Initiate 'mind games'

* Initiate 'chat with knuckles'

* Initiate 'hydro-persuation'

* Initiate 'oil planking'

Interrogation actions operate on captured RED pilots. They are fed by successful recovery and offload outcomes.
