VISUAL BRACKET
The end result spreads out the formation to 3 to 4 NM (or visual limits), and allows the flight to maintain visual mutual support and determine bogey intentions. Communications are critical to determine which fighter the bogey is attempting to engage. A combination of RWR and radar awareness is critical. As the flight lead analyzes aspect and continues to the merge performing a single-side offset intercept, the wingman maneuvers away from the flight to obtain turning room and a vertical separation. At 5 NM the flight lead should go pure pursuit. If the bogey leans on the flight lead, the wingman should have an easy shot of opportunity at the merge. To be effective, the wingman needs to anticipate this shot, and start leaning in to be pointing at the bogey at the merge. After the flight lead passes the identification, the wingman should be able to take a quick shot of opportunity. If the bogey initially leans on the wingman, lead may clear the wingman to engage or remain the engaged fighter. If the bandit points toward the wingman, the wingman will arrive at the merge first. With SA, the wingman should pass the WEZ in-depth (WID) so that the flight lead can employ weapons.

Takeaway: You may get in a 2v2 with you and your wingman each fighting a bandit. But don’t miss an opportunity to shoot down his bandit.
