Briefing
1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Having uncovered extensive evidence that “Osama bin Laden”, the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, was in fact the cover name of a Russian nationalist/disgruntled Soviet nostalgic named Osip Bogdan Lada, the White House is in the process of setting the Navy on a war footing with the Russian Federation, whilst simultaneously apologising to the nation state of Afghanistan for accidentally overrunning the country in search of an imagined terrorist leader thought to be residing there in what the CIA now categorises as a “fairly large whoopsie daisy, but we're still fairly sure about this Iraq WMD matter being a sure thing.”
1.2 Area of operations
Airbase on the northern coast of the Russian Kola Peninsula.
1.4 Air threats
Su-27, MiG-29
Su-27 and MiG-29 squadrons operate in the area. Expect main threat from closest enemy air bases. Intel estimates that the Russian Air Force can muster limited interceptions in response to detected threats, but is unlikely to be capable of maintaining a continuous CAP presence.
1.5 Ground threats
AAA, MANPADS, SA-10, SA-11
SA-10s provide the major long range air defences in the region, typically defended by SA-11s.
The target MONCHEGORSK AIRBASE is protected by at least one SA-11, AAA and MANPADS.
1.6 Friendly forces
N/A, we are the only blue forces in the AO. The Task Force will not be launching other strikes as of yet.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Civilian air traffic is still active in the region.
2 MISSION
The Task Force will conduct air strikes to destroy targeted Hardened Aircraft Shelters at MONCHEGORSK AIRBASE.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
Destroy targeted HASs at MONCHEGORSK AIRBASE
3.2 Packages
The mission contains 1 package, callsign DANCER. All flights are part of package DANCER.
3.3 Order of events
This operation is divided into four phases which will be conducted chronologically: Escorting the package to the target, SEAD, strike MONCHEGORSK AIRBASE, RTB.
- F/A-18s will escort the package at low level to the target area and establish a medium altitude CAP.
