A

12

39
Q

Why do CAS players use the template

A

So that the CAS aircrew and JTAC have a standard repeatable format to expect in a highly dynamic environment

40

BOC

46
Q

From who would you expect a read back from prior to a BOC attack?

A

All A/C delivering ordnance

47
Q

Name some advantages of the BOT attack

Fig 8
Wheel

55
Q

Why would you make a control type 1

A

It is used when the JTAC/ FAC(A) requires control of individual attacks and the situation requires the JTAC to visually acquire the attacking A.C and the target for each attack.

A

2+3

57
