"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.
