06 August 2023 - Operation Enduring Resolve Week 7

Post by Lion » Sun Aug 06, 2023 8:53 am

SITUATION
Situation remains overall static in Syria; the major factions haven't lost or gained any significant swathes of territory.

Do not come within 15 nm Bassel Al-Assad airbase.

MISSION
Dealer flights will fly a A2G combat air patrol throughout Syria, starting one hour before sunrise. Each Dealer flight has a different flight plan, covering various areas of Syria and Iraq.

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.

Syrian airspace is light at this time with nightfall.

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.

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.

Sqn intel technicians have added an SA-3 marker to everyone's SA pages overlaying Bassel Al-Assad airbase with the approximate area to not overfly. Its not exact so staying well outside the threat circle is highly recommended.
