Background Story:
Indonesia have serious trouble againts forest fires many years and didn't have enough aset to fight with it. but lately Indonesian National Board for Disaster Management or BNPB rent numerous helicopter and airplane to fight the fire.
Inspired from OV-10 California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CALFIRE), BNPB asked Indonesian Air Force to lend some retired OV-10F (export version A series) in their hangar to coordinate all aerial assets on a fire with the Incident Commander on the ground. Thus, besides serving as a tanker lead-in aircraft, the OV-10F is also the aerial platform from which the entire air operation is coordinated.
