    EU Flight Night - SCAR-C

    Date: 01.07.2016

    Location: NTTR, R-4807, 74C

    Scenario: Aircraft operating SCAR-C role with other flights for BAI

    Plan: SCAR-C operating in 74C. Other flights come with no pre-planed targets. Payloads along with the rest of the flight planning up to flight leads. All Flights had a common contact point at which to contact SCAR-C. Restricted to R-4807. No access to R-4808 unless IFE.

    Desired Learning Objectives:
    • Familiarization with SCAR-C role and environment
    • Exposing the difference between SCAR-C and FAC(A) and where the SCAR-C authority ends compared to FAC(A)
    • Sensor management, contracts and brevity
    • Radio operation / discipline

    Observations and Lessons Learned:
    • Radios were a mess at Nellis AFB (AM was used for flight comms). It got better in the AO with occasional opened freqs.
    • Great "step away" exercise from usual pre-planned missions. Great for planning attacks on the "go" while already flying (ingress, egress, fighter-to-fighter, etc).
    • We need to pay more attention to the weapon employment situational awareness. Some AGM-65's were fired while other friendly aircraft was in 10° cone of the nose of attacking aircraft.
    • Cons and pros of asking SCAR flight for BDA. Pros: Makes life easier for attacking flight, should increase SA when needed. Cons: Possible task saturation for SCAR flight, possibility of radio frequency clutter.
    • Despite known threat/s and consecutive successful attacks, we should not let our SA drop or get complacent.
    • We all should have up to date REQUIRED mods. All tho it served as good practice for SCAR<>Striker/Inter flight
