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.
No SA-11 emissions have been detected since last week's mission by friendly aircraft.
DEALER ONE
Dealer 1 has been assigned a patrol up and down the Syrian/Lebanese/Turkish coast in response to observed drone incursion attempts from ISIS and other rebel forces in the region. Waypoints 2 - 8 is the patrol route and aircraft should remain on station until 90 minutes has passed or directed otherwise by AWACS. No ground-attack missions are expected to be called for Dealer 1.
Do not come within 15 nm Bassel Al-Assad airbase. Waypoint nine ( 9 ) has been added directly over the airbase to ensure compliance.
DEALER TWO
Dealer 2 has been assigned a patrol route into the Damascus area, north up toward Homs, east towards the Syrian desert, back south and west across Damascus, as Coalition forces intensify offensives against remaining government forces as well as clashing with rebel groups and ISIS in the region.
DEALER THREE
Dealer 3 has received the remaining unserviced target from last week's strike in the central-eastern desert, near the Iraqi border. THREATS
- MANPADs everywhere that friendly forces do not control.
- Possible harassment from Chinese aerospace forces.
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.
