The White House Military Office requested the helicopter's presence in a fragmentary order, or FRAGO, barely 36 hours before the helicopter landed on the South Lawn for the "unusual" event, according to the records of Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1), the unit responsible for operating the helicopter.
Helikopteri opereerimise eest vastutava eskaadri Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1) dokumentide kohaselt nõudis Valge Maja sõjakabinet helikopteri kohalolu osakäsu ehk FARGO-ga napilt 36 tundi enne seda, kui helikopter "ebatavalise" sündmuse tarbeks lõunapoolsel õuel maandus.
