2nd August 19:30 Caucuses Red Flag Exercise, including OCU & 60sqn

[Duke]

Not spoken to the RW element. But then again, they haven't spoken to us! We have done no joint attacks, and so am unsure of what would be appropriate.

We anticipate 3 x A-10s operating, between 3000 and 8000 ft agl. That is more than enough to eliminate all the targets in the area, but I do not know the number, capability, or wishes of the RW element. Given our different modes of operating, I would have thought an allocation of areas or specific targets and run-in/out tracks would be the best option. Mixed ac doing their things would invite Blue-on-Blue.

NP, your target area will be just for you and 664 will get more targets to the east of yours. I'll update the miz later. You will be working alone, as will all the other sqns

Updated miz file for 97 and 664.

Start time 12:15z / 16:15 local

Targets split min 10 mile separation

Reminder I need all miz files returned by midday Saturday please to add flights. I'm not about Sunday so if I can't do it Saturday it'll be done last minute and no chance for any of you to check over your flights etc on final miz file.

Only have 3f and 664 returned so far

Chaps, I'm going to write another mission for two weeks, going to do something abit different in how its written, will need someone from each squadron to let me know what kind of mission you want to fly. (cas/cap/strike/sead), and if you want red air threat or not please . Unless of course you don't want to participate then all good

Will be on Syria as it offers the most distance should people not want to be bounced by red jets etc

I wasn't able to fly last night. But I'd be interested to see how it all went. Could someone please post the tacview.

Cheers
