Yeah "broken arrow" has two meanings. In the Air Force (or at least during the Vietnam war), it was the code phrase to urgently call in all available air assets as a unit was in danger of being overrun. And that meant dropping whatever they had with little coordination and high risk of friendly fire (like during the Battle of Ia Drang).

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
