# Dispatch AI for Arma 3

Use Dispatch AI radio commands and timers through the desktop overlay while playing Arma 3.

Dispatch AI's shared radio commands work while playing Arma 3. Change your primary channel, manage scanned channels, ask which channels you are on, and set timers through the desktop overlay.

## Setup

1. Complete the [common Dispatch AI setup](/radio/tutorials/usage/dispatch-ai.md#common-setup), including the CAD link required by the current setup.
2. Sign in to the Sonoran Radio desktop app and join your community's Radio server.
3. [Open the desktop overlay](/radio/tutorials/usage/desktop-overlay.md#open-the-overlay).
4. Hold push-to-talk and say, “Dispatch, switch me to Command.” Use a channel name from your community.

You can also set **AI Toggle** under **Settings** > **Hotkeys** to trigger the AI manually.

| Task                 | Example                                         |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Change channel       | “Dispatch, switch me to Command.”               |
| Scan another channel | “Dispatch, add Support to my scanned channels.” |
| Set a timer          | “Dispatch, set a timer for five minutes.”       |

[CAD commands](/radio/tutorials/usage/dispatch-ai.md#sonoran-cad-commands), including current-call readbacks, are available when you use the linked CAD community.

For Arma signal towers, inventory radios, and nearby AI reacting to transmissions, see the [Arma 3 integration](/radio/game-integrations/arma-3.md). [AI Hearing](/radio/game-integrations/arma-3/ai-hearing.md) controls how Arma AI units react to radio traffic.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/radio/game-integrations/arma-3/arma-3.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
