Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established small bases on Guam and Rota. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Tinian and Saipan islands in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement has just started with raids from carrier based aircraft.
Situation:
During the night and early morning US marine infantry and artillery units landed on Aguijan, the small island south of Tinian (grid FQ). Your job is to provide fighter cover over the island while they are digging in. The enemy was taken by surprise, but will surely react on this new threat with all available resources. It may be useful to bring light attack weapons in case the Japs will try to approach with small boats. The marines have setup a Bofors 40 mm battery on the south side of Aguijan.

Foothold Saturday- Kandalaksha Deep Strike
2025-02-15 20:00 - 22:30
Situation
Efter Kemi Tornio och Rovaniemi är befriade så transporteras nästan hela ryska logistiken på järnvägen och motorvägen längs Loukhi / Kandalaksha / Apatity och sen till Olenya där allt fördelas med flygplan till olika platser i Finland och Norge. Området är dock bra försvarat, tidigare spaningsuppdrag har visat SA-11 och SA-15 men utan exakt position. Fientligt luftvärn finns (förmodligen) på LOUKHI (söder om målområdet) och nära KANDALAKSHA.

Det finns två broar nära Kandalaksha där all trafik mot Olenya måste passera.

Järnvägen, östra bron:

Motorvägen, västra bron:

Uppdrag
Kvällens uppdrag är att slå ut dessa två, om möjligt. Om anfallet mot huvudmålet är omöjligt eller bedöms för riskfullt så är det sekundära målet ZELENOBORSKI STORAGE söder om det egentliga målet.
Genomföring
Anfallet måste genomföras med minst en 2000lbs bomb på varje mål. Önskemål är en 4-ship som strike. Dessutom behövs minst två fpl som SEAD escort.
Det finns två möjliga anfallsriktningar:
– VOUJÄRVI – SAVUKOSKI – KANDALAKSHA med i dagsläget oklart SAM hot på Alakourtti och Kovdor samt fientlig CAP i området
– KEMI TORNIO – skog 60nm öster om KUUSAMO – nordväst till KANDALAKSHA. Längre sträcka med oklart läge vid ZELENOBORSKI.

Förhoppningen är att få något bättre information genom ett spaningsuppdrag planerat fredag eller lördag.
Anfallet sker i HI-LO-HI profile, de sista 100nm kommer ske på låg höjd, hög fart. Sen en popup mot målet medan SEAD flighten håller ner luftvärnet i området.
En mer detaljerad plan kommer på lördag (lite mer info efter spaning, koordinater osv).
Route tool
Eftersom alla steerpoints över hela kartan finns på alla dynamiska slots, så rekommenderas det att lägga till en custom route med route tool. Innan du joinar in på en slot, välj verktyget, lägg till alla steerpoints, välj “use this route on next spawn”, sen joina.

Sekundärt mål ZELENOBORSKI STORAGE
Anfallet mot det sekundära målet sker endast om vi inte lyckas att ta oss fram till det primära målet.

Målet är att slå ut såväl fuel tanks / stationen bredvid järnvägen som bunkern (om ammunitionen duger till en bunker).
Logistik
Inga tankers i området p g a allmänt hot. Se till att räkna ut bingo beroende på flygplanstyp. VOUJÄRVI – MÅL är ungefär 150nm, KEMI TORNIO – MÅL är nog närmare 250nm.
Ledning / Kommunikation
To be announced.
Ingen stridsledning i nuläget. Som vanligt så sker kommunikation via UHF 3 TACTICAL (see kneeboard).

MEGA Training Thursday - Return of the Rookies!
2025-02-20 19:30 - 22:30 | Caucasus
IRL Time: Thursday, Feb 20, 19:30
Theatre: Caucasus (Kutaisi)
Time: 2018-11-30 08:15
Weather: 090/8, 30.05 inHg, SCT/BKN 14/18 BKN 24/27 FEW 40, 20°C
This Thursday evening will go down in history!
In order to get all our new (and old!) rookies on-board and up in the saddle, we are hosting this large (but also small… hang in there) training event. We will put effort in the lineup, so that every rookie is flying with a more senior pilot, instructing them and helping them out with whatever is the priority in their journey towards Basic Qualification.
Each instructor and rookie decide in advance what they would like to practice, by taking a look in the Training Progress Google Sheet. A recommended set of items is around 4-8. But this is obviously very much dependent on how complex and time-consuming each task is.
We hope that this setup, with flying 2-ship and having personal guidance, feels like a SMALL and easy way of getting up to speed, but in a LARGE event, with human ATC and other flights everywhere.
Please help us by signing up as soon as possible, so that we can ensure a good lineup!

Foothold Saturday: Murmansk pool party
2025-02-22 19:30 - 22:00
Orientering
Efter vårt anfall mot Kandalaksha och de stora framsteg mot Alarkourtti så har den ryska logistiken nästan kollapsat. Det är dock en SA-10 som hindrar oss från att anfalla Monchegorsk.
Aktuell spaningsinformation:

Uppdrag
Vårt uppdrag är att slå ut SA-10:an.
Genomförande
Flygplatser som används är Kirkenes, Ivalo och möjligtvis Severomorsk 3 och Murmansk. Samling på holding point (WPT 6) sedan uppdelning i två grupper som går in mot SA-10:an från olika håll. Föreslår en från nord, en från väst.
OBS: SA-10:an är uppdelad i flera “grupper” så fokusera på radarer, speciellt tracking radarn.
Briefing 19:30 takeoff 20:00.
WAYPOINTS:
1: Murmansk
2: Severomorsk 3
3: Severormorsk 1
4: Kirkenes
5: Ivalo
6: Holding (Prirechnyi)
7: SA-10 (N 63 14.000 E 031 15.000)
Logistik
Inga tankers, de ligger ovanför Ivalo. Eftersom en AWACS ligger ovanför Ivalo så har vi nog bra radar- och datalänktäckning.
Stridsledning
Ingen human AWACS i nuläget. Gemensam kanal UHF 3.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Beirut. With no previous warning, a military coup began yesterday evening. At the same time, the Russian and Syrian governments held a joint press conference declaring their support for “the peace-loving people of Lebanon in their fight against corruption and fascism”. Presidents Putin and Assad declared all of Lebanon a no-fly zone, to be enforced by their respective Air Forces. Explicitly warning “western imperialist forces” from intervening.
The Lebanese government, on the other hand, is asking for immediate assistance and American, Israeli and Jordanian forces have answered this call.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Northern Syria, August 2012
The security situation in the region has deteriorated rapidly. Extremist groups have taken advantage of the ongoing conflict, establishing fortified positions, training camps, and supply depots in remote areas. Over recent months, intelligence reports indicate increased movement of weapons and personnel, suggesting an imminent escalation.
Militant forces have grown bolder, launching coordinated attacks on convoys and outposts. Their tactics have evolved, and their arsenal now includes advanced anti-armor and air-defense systems, making them a more serious threat.
Coalition forces have monitored the situation carefully, avoiding direct engagement to prevent further destabilization. However, with the enemy gaining ground and regional stability at risk, military intervention may soon be inevitable.
The tension is reaching a breaking point. Something is about to happen.
1.2 Area of operations
The operation takes place in northern Syria, characterized by rugged mountains, arid deserts, and scattered settlements, providing both natural defensive positions and challenging terrain for air and ground forces alike.
1.3 Time and weather
* August 11 – 2012
* 18:30 local time
* Scattered (18 000′)
* Wind 100 / 6
* FORCE QNH 29.80 / 1009
1.4 Air threats
1.5 Ground threats
Intelligence suggests enemy forces may have taken control of a Syrian SA-6, but confirmation is pending. Previous operations indicate possible SA-9 and SA-13 presence, though their status remains unknown. MANPADS are highly likely, posing a threat at low altitude. Expect additional ZU-23 technicals and AAA emplacements near enemy positions. A drone will recon the area and provide a confirmed threat picture before additional flights are cleared for takeoff. Stay alert and use sensors to identify threats.
1.6 Friendly forces
U.S. forces are operating in the region, including elements of the 115th Airborne, conducting patrols around Aleppo. Additional coalition assets are stationed at key locations, maintaining presence and readiness. Routine aerial reconnaissance and ISR operations are ongoing. Friendly units are maintaining defensive positions and conducting security operations in the area.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Civilian air traffic is still active in some parts of Syria.
2 MISSION
A U.S. unit has come under attack and requires immediate CAS support. A single F-16 flight is tasked with responding first, coordinating with JTAC on the ground to engage enemy forces. Additional assets are on high alert and will be deployed based on further intelligence. Enemy strength and composition are not fully known, and new threats may emerge. Maintain situational awareness and be prepared to adapt to changing conditions. Further tasking will be assigned in-flight.

Military Briefing
Units Available:

2 x A-10
4 x Apache (full crew required)
2 x Kiowa

1. SITUATION
Yesterday: The enemy launched a rocket attack on our forces stationed at FOB Whiskey.
Enemy Forces:

Intelligence has identified three rocket artillery (BM-21 Grad) units south of the city of Khirbet Ghazaleh, south Syria, as the source of these attacks.
Due to bad weather, our drones lost contact with the artillery during the night. They are likely still in the area around Khirbet Ghazaleh and Western/Eastern Garyiah.
Known enemy forces in the area include UAZ’s/KAMAZ’s, armed pickups (AAA), and a few BMPs.

Friendly Forces:

A-10, AH-64D Apache, located at Ramat David Air Force Base.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Yesterday afternoon, the Iraqi Air Force went on the offensive. While ultimately unsuccessful, it marked a clear change of pace for the campaign. We also saw a large transfer of aircraft from Iraq to the Shiraz air base in Iran.
Worryingly, there was also an incident involving the Iranian Navy and Air Force centered around the air base on Lavan Island. An F/A-18 flight was fired upon by naval vessels and a subsequent air engagement saw the loss of one Hornet to enemy fire. Retribution was swift but incomplete.
CENTCOM has decided we need to send a very clear message to Iran not to interfere in the campaign, but care must be taken to avoid an all-out war. As a measured response, the base on Lavan Island will be annihilated, along with any naval forces within a 15 nm radius. Other Iranian forces will be spared, as long as they do not interfere with the operation.
1.2 Area of operations
Eastern Persian Gulf, Lavan Island and surrounding area.
1.3 Time and weather
* Jan 25th – 1991
* 07:00 local time
* SCT 12/14, FEW 40

* FORCE QNH 2981
1.4 Air threats
MiG-21, MiG-29, F4, F5, F-14, Mi-24
1.5 Ground/Surface threats
SA-5 in Shiraz. SA-2 on Kish Island. Multiple SA-2 and SA-6 along the Iranian coastline.
Possible Silkworm launchers on Lavan Island or nearby coastline.
The Iranian Navy mainly consists of corvettes, small frigates and numerous fast attack craft.
1.6 Friendly forces
Coalition air and naval power is present in the immediate area, not conducting any active operations at present.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Civilian air and sea traffic is suspended
2 MISSION
Disable the air base on Lavan Island. Sink any naval vessels in or around the island.
Iranian naval vessels outside (15 nm+) of Lavan Island will be intercepted but given a chance to turn around. Should they fail to do so, we are authorized to sink them.
Maintain air superiority over the AO. Engage any Iranian aircraft that show hostile intent, as defined in the ROE section.
Destroy any SAM-sites considered a threat, regardless of location.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
A combined strike force of A-10, AH-64, AV8 and Mirage 2000 will hit Lavan Island with a focus on runway, Silkworm launchers, surface-to-air installations, and remaining ships. Care must be taken to prevent fast attack boats from exiting the area in the direction towards our Carrier Battle Group.
Hornets will be responsible for intercepting any Iranian naval forces trying to reinforce Lavan Island from the east.
Vipers will provide SEAD cover.
Tomcats and Hornets will provide CAP.
