ISIS (but the ones that prefer to be called ISIL) have been repelled from the border crossing with Syria and Iraq, and Coalition forces have established a forward base at Al Tanf. ISIL have begun regular rocket, artillery and mortar attacks on the base and stepped up attacks elsewhere in the region.
Efforts by State Department over the last couple of weeks has resulted in Lebanon reopening airspace to US military overflights again, though only Beirut is permitted for diversions. Chinese forces have peacefully left their borders and withdrawn to their northern base in Syria.
MISSION OVERVIEW
Tonight's mission is effectively split between Dealer 1 and Dealers 2 and 3.
Dealer 1 has been assigned to strike industrial sites that have been identified as areas of ISIS weapons and ammunition storages, with a primary area and a secondary area if weapons availability permit.
Dealers 2 and 3 have been assigned a Wild Weasel mission to deal with the increasingly annoying nuisance of the independent SA-11 TELARs that have been roving around the region between Damascus and Homs.
DEALER ONE
Dealer 1's waypoint six is the PRIMARY target area and waypoint seven is the SECONDARY area.

Flights should expect intermittent RWR pings from the SAMs as they will likely be employing pop up, shoot n scoot tactics.
RTB criteria is either winchester or 0100 local. At that time your flight will be relieved by a flight of German Tornadoes out of RAF Akrotiri.
THREATS
- MANPADs everywhere that friendly forces do not control.
- Pop-up SA-11 SAMs in the area between Damascus and Homs.
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.
