4. C+152 – ATO Day 3 - DCA Standard DCA Flight… Overview DCA Roles ROE
Fly to assigned fix, and contact Assassin1 lead
Contact code: “Assassin 1, this is Assassin Actual”– Assassin 1 lead will then do a combat decent to aid in identification of his aircraft on radar
Once Assassin lead acknowledges that call, you will engage his 3 other wingmen, without engaging him.
Roles
HAMMER1 – Lead of Package, responsible for contacting Assassin 1
Voodoo 1 – Fly cover on Hammer1
ROE
ROE on this mission is simple. Engage any and all aircraft that pose a threat to Hammer1, Voodoo1, or the package. There may be enemy support aircraft (tanker, airlift, etc…) in the vicinity of the intercept point, and you are cleared to engage those aircraft at your own discretion. However, keep in mind the enemy may vector more aircraft to the area once you engage Assassin lead’s wingmen, and therefore you must have enough ordnance to deal with enemy future threats as you escort the package to Iraklion AB.
Both Hammer1 and Voodoo1 are cleared to land at Iraklion following the package.
Friendly aircraft are operating in the area of the intercept point. Declare all aircraft before engaging. SAR packages are available, fly RESCAP if a friendly aircraft is downed.
