German term or phrase: Lawineneinsatz
Nachdem um 11 Uhr 40 Schifahrer einen Lawinenabgang im Bereich der Leidalm beobachteten, und in diesem Hang kurz zuvor noch Schifahrer gesichtet wurden musste die Bergrettung Bad Hofgastein erneut zu einen ***Lawineneinsatz*** ausrücken. Da die akute Lawinengefahr mit einer Lawinenwarnstufe 3 eine Befahrung des Hanges nicht erlaubte, wurde der Rettungshubschrauber Heli Alpin 6 aus Zell am See angefordert.

agree  Bernd Runge: Mission als einzelner Einsatz passt besser als operation, weil es dann mehr um den Betrieb im Allgemeinen ginge// You bet, good old Kojak following Cannon ;-) Simple, straight and down-to-earth (that's for the series though)
