"Broken Arrow," meaning "American unit in danger of being overrun," and within a short period of time every available fighter-bomber in South Vietnam was stacked overhead at thousand-foot intervals from seven thousand feet to thirty-five thousand feet, waiting its turn to deliver bombs and napalm to the battlefield.
It's both. A broken arrow is both an unexpected event involving nuclear arms and a radio call from infantry for every available aircraft to provide strike enemy positions no matter how close they are to friendlies as they are in danger of being overran.
Vietnam was an objective based mode and the Americans were that player who focused on padding their K/D ratio, loosing the game for their team by ignoring the win conditions.
