1 SITUATION

1.1 Overview

The first week of the Yom Kippur war is about to come to an end. Syrian forces have seen initial success in retaking territory in the Golan Heights following their surprise attack on Israel, striking at the same time as Egypt is advancing into the Sinai. In bitter fighting in the past few days the Israeli army has fought the Syrian advance into a standstill, and the initiative is about to fall to the Israelis.

1.2 Area of operations

N and NE of the Sea of Galilee in Southwestern Syria. The terrain is a mix of mountains and desert plains.

1.3 Time and weather

* October 12th – 1973
* 08:00 local time
* Scattered (7500′-11500′)
* Wind 320 / 10
* QNH 29.78

1.4 Air threats

Israel: The main base of the Syrian air force in Southern Syria is Sayqal, east of Damascus. No jets are believed to be based on aerodromes closer to the front. Sayqal is known to host MiG21, and possibly older Syrian airframes. Helicopters are believed to be forward based at various locations closer to the front lines.

Syria: Israeli Air Force assets in the theatre are primarily based at the Rosh Pina Airbase. Helicopters have been spotted operating out of the northern Kiryat Shmona base.

1.5 Ground threats

Israel: Syrian Armoured units have pushed into the Golan Heights along the main roads. Mechanized infantry and motorised anti-air units accompany the push. A more sophisticated AA & SAM network covers cities, airbases and other vital points inside Syria proper.

Syria: Israeli ground forces are spread out along the front line, covered by mobile SAM and AA units. The major airfields and larger cities fall under cover from larger SAM units.

2 MISSION

The Joint Force Air Component (JFAC) will conduct air strikes to destroy SCUD locations and chemical plant facilities in order to deny Syrian forces SCUD capability with chemical weapons. A mission success would reduce Syria’s means of threatening its own population as well as neighboring countries.

3 EXECUTION

3.1 Commander’s intent

Each side will receive their objectives separately. The information is not to be shared with eachother, each side should not know what the other is planning.
