The Syrian Regime\, bolstered by Russian military support\, has been making rapid advances around Damascus.\nU.S. intelligence failed to anticipate just how effective the Russian Maskirovka tactics can be\, and now Syrian forces are pushing forward in a surprising pace\, threatening the capital. \nIn the north\, Al-Dumays airfield represents both as a logistic hub and potential staging ground for future airstrikes. Its neutralization is crucial to keeping the enemy at bay.\nMeanwhile\, in the south\, the A-10 pilot’s capture could send a signal of vulnerability of American forces in the region. A successful recovery will show that U.S. forces are not only capable of striking hard\, but also of retrieving their own when things get tough. \n1.2 Area of operations\nBACKTRACK (MGRS: BT): 23nm ENE of DAMASCUS. Next to mountain ridge. Al-Dumays airfield.\nBULLSHIT (MGRS: BS): 14nm SE of DAMASCUS. Mostly desert with scattered villages. \n1.3 Time and weather\n* May 04 – 2016\n* 05:45 local time\n* Scattered (12000ft)\n* Wind 337 / 6\n* Temperature: 21℃\n* FORCE QNH 2992 / 1013 \n1.4 Air threats\nMiG-21\, MiG-23\, MiG-29 \nAs for BACKTRACK\, expect enemy reinforcements and scrambling air defense systems as soon as you hit their radar. \n1.5 Ground threats\nTechnical\, BMP-2\, T-72B\, ZSU-23 Shilka\, SA-2\, SA-6\, SA-8 \nAs you get closer to the front lines\, expect enemy reinforcements\, especially near BULLSHIT. The situation is fluid\, and intel will likely shift as you go. Keep your eyes open and your weapons tighter. \n1.6 Friendly forces\nN/A\, we are the only blue forces in the AO. \n1.7 Civilian/3rd part\nAll civilian air traffic is suspended. \n2 MISSION\nThere are two mission happening in parallel.\nMission Backtrack; neutralize the logistic hubs and shatter the run- and taxiways.\nMission Bullshit; provide cover for the rescue of the downed A-10 pilot. \n3 EXECUTION\n3.1 Commander’s intent\nNeutralize the logistic hub and save our god damn pilot. Pigs don´t grow on trees you know! \n3.2 Packages\nThe mission contains 2 packages\, callsign ALPHA and BRAVO respectively.\nAlpha: ARCTIC1\, BENDER2\, INDY9\nBravo: SALTY1 / BLACKJACK4\, PIG7 \n3.3 Order of events\nMission Backtrack\nThis operation is divided into 2 phases which will be conducted chronologically: SEAD/DEAD and Strike on logistic targets/runways. \n1. F-16 INDY9 will render SA-sites around Al-Dumays airfield inoperable. Report GOODNIGHT when succeeded to neutralize at least the SA-6 sites. \n2. INDY9 will fallback to establish CAP track (WP4) to protect ARCTIC1 and BENDER2. Engage enemies at free will. \n3. F/A-18 ARCTIC1 will\, on GOODNIGHT\, push and strike the logistic hubs. \n4. F/A-18 BENDER2 will\, on GOODNIGHT\, push and strike the runways and taxiways. \nMission Bullshit\nThis operation has one phase only. \n1. Initially one flight infiltrates the crash site and locates enemy forces in the area. Three flights advance to holding area. \n2. Then one flight attacks located targets at crash site supported by two flights. \n3. One flight secures route back to FARP supported by one flight\, One flight recovers downed pilot and withdraws back to FARP supported by one flight. \n3.4 Rules of engagement\nROE: C\nAs per SPINS\nAddition: Weapons free on all enemy SCUD installations unless they are moving into built up areas. \n3.5 Acceptable level of risk\nALR: MEDIUM\nAs per SPINS \n3.6 Flight tasking\nPackage ALPHA (Lead: ARCTIC11)\nARCTIC1\n* Depart Mother\n* Feet dry (WP1)\n* FENCE IN (WP2)\n* Hold until GOODNIGHT (WP3) at 20000′\n* Initiate attack (FL assigns targets: WP4\, 5\, 6\, 7\, 8.
