ISIS continues to lose territory around Palymra and up near the Taqba dam. Remnant Assad forces and rebels near Hatay, Turkey have intensified battles in recent weeks. Government forces have stepped up attacks across their remaining area of control.
MISSION
Dealers 1, 2, and 3 will all be flying A2G combat air patrols throughout the region.
Mission Commander and Flight Leaders should expect to be called over tactical frequencies for targets of opportunity throughout the patrol. RTB criteria is fuel emergency or winchester.
Refueling tankers are spread across the region, there should be no problem getting a top-up if needed.
THREATS
- MANPADs everywhere that friendly forces do not control.
- Possible harassment and unprofessional airmanship from Chinese fighters.
ALERT
Coalition planes on missions in the last week were surprised by pop-up SAM launches from SA-11 'Gadfly' vehicles in areas still controlled by government forces. CAG has directed that all strike aircraft are to carry at least one AGM-88C HARM for self protection now on missions over Syria.
ROE
WEAPONS FREE (on assigned targets). It is highly likely that given targets will be in dense urban areas. Carrying a FLIR pod is mandatory and verification needed to ensure civilian areas are not struck.
