Cold ramp start need help

I am getting back into DCS simming again and I am playing around with the Sabre as I think it is an interesting airplane and fairly friendly to get started with.

I am playing around with making smaller missions for myself, but I have one problem.

I cannot find out what units to place at the airport (and where) so that I can call in ground crew to give me electrical power

What units are needed for this?

What about units for rearm, refuel, atc on the airport?

Because, If it's the latter, You don't place any units but just assign the airport to the same coalition as Your plane ("red" or "blue"). Then and only then You can contact ATC and ground crew and call them for anything using communication/radio commands menu. Such assignment is being done in mission editor after clicking on the airport and choosing correct colour. Ok, will check this again tomorrow when I have time. I am pretty sure that the airport is blue in the mission editor.... Well something must be off. Thanks for the help. I will report back on the results when I have them.
