This manual establishes AF/A3S as the DAF proponent for assault zones, to include DZs, LZs, HLZs, LC-130 skiways and ski landing areas. It provides administrative, management, and operational guidance for DAF and subordinate command assault zone surveys, operations, and training to standardize procedures, increase mission effectiveness and safety, and ensure compliance with Department of Defense (DoD) activity and mishap reporting requirements. Use this publication in conjunction with Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 11-2 Mission Design Series (MDS) publications and applicable DoD, United States Air Force (USAF), and MAJCOM instructions and directives.
This interim change revises DAFMAN 13-217 by (1) correcting the email addresses to which SOCOM Form 111 is submitted to AFSOC, (2) updating Table 3.1, Standard DZ Size Criteria, Notes 2 and 4 to clarify to which flying platforms and under what circumstance exemptions apply, (3) updating Table 3.2, Standard Point of Impact Placement, to clarify criteria for C-130 aircraft, (4) updating and clarifying the International Agreements applicable to non-US personnel involved in drop zone operations. A margin bar (|) indicates newly revised material

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.

1 publication in 1 other community depend on this one, which Nuclear, Space & C2 owns. Each community inspects its own publications; a dependency that crosses communities is owned by nobody, which is why this list normally does not exist anywhere. Built from the publications' own citations, so it reflects what we have read.
If DAFMAN 13-217 changes, these are the documents that point at it. Extracted from the publications' own text, so it reflects what we have read, not a complete dependency map. Every publishing office validates its own document; nobody validates the seams between them.
Records in this branch carrying the same series and number — interim changes, guidance memoranda, and unit supplements. A copy stamped with one of these is a different document from the base publication.
