1-72. A detachment may need to be resupplied with the equipment required to conduct a waterborne exfiltration. This additional support can be either a preplanned, on-call, or emergency resupply and is usually a contingency in case the primary exfiltration plan fails. It is very hard to conduct an airborne resupply since the equipment must, in most cases, be airdropped very close to the beach departure point or in the water near the shore. If the area to be exfiltrated has a coastal air defense system, this resupply method becomes extremely dangerous for the mission aircraft. However, if possible, one of the most effective means is to drop a “rubber duck” (or two). The aircraft can fly parallel to and just off the coast and put out a rubber duck packed with the needed equipment. The exfiltrating detachment then simply swims to the equipment, unpacks it, and exfiltrates.
