What stage of aerial delivery would you be in if you had to resupply a unit that broke contact for 24 hrs?

When a unit has broken contact for a full day, the resupply needs become time-critical and mission-driven. In aerial delivery planning, stages reflect how urgent the need is and how fast you must act. Routine is for predictable, scheduled replenishment. Initial refers to the setup at the start of operations. Recovery focuses on restoring normal resupply after a disruption. Given the 24-hour gap, you must push immediate, prioritized resupply to keep the unit in the fight and prevent degradation of combat power—this is the essence of the emergency stage. Emergency deliveries are expedited and use the fastest, most reliable means to get materiel in quickly, even if it requires deviations from normal procedures.
