After Action Report for Op deep valley 14/7/20

Mission Objective and intent: CAP

Commander's mission/intent (what was supposed to happen).
Protection of friendly air assets attacking hostile ground forces

Opposing force (OPFOR) commander's mission/intent.
Protection of ground forces under attack by Blue air

Summary of events (what actually happened).

Understrength blue forces took on overwhelming red air assets. Achieved a high kill ratio in difficult circumstances but ultimately lost every airframe. Approx 80% aircrew recovered with minor injuries, the rest are MIA at this time

Key issues:

All blue air squadrons understrength including SEAD
IFF still a problem for the newer squadrons
f14 serviceability still not 100%, multiple in flight failures again (have contacted grumman for tech support)
More red air than expected and sam sites still active

Order of events.
To follow

Key events/issues.
Every member of UZI took on and beat Red air despite insurmountable odds

Tasks to improve.
Very few negatives to report,
comms was a major improvement but not quite 100% yet


Closing comments (summary).
Excellent performance from every member of UZI last night.
Special credit to mutley for a much improved performance, especially on comms.
Also credit to Shaggy for an impeccable evening following absence, every call and decision made was 100% correct and timely.
Alien was rock solid as 2nd flight lead, requiring no input from lead
Pongo demonstrated exceptional airmanship notching several missiles and eliminated several bandits (4 confirmed?)

We all got shot. And it was GLORIOUS
