49
STRIKE ORDER OF EVENTS
(1)RECEIPT OF TASKING VIA LSP/ESP-L/VERBAL (2) EMs PLAN OTW ROUTES, MMS PRESELECT MISSILES. (3) EMs SEND SCO (Strike Coordination Overlay) FOR OTW ROUTE
APPROVAL FROM LAC. CO APPROVES OTW ROUTE FROM PRINTED HARD COPIES (4) TSC SENDS EXECUTE ODER VIA INDIGO/ESP-E/VERBAL. (5) MMs START INITIALIZING MISSILES FROM PRE-SELECTED CELLS. (6) 10MIN UNTIL FIRST LAUNCH, FINAL APPROVAL ON PLANS FROM CURRENT TRACK PICTURE. (7) 2MIN UNTIL FIRST LAUNCH, SOUND THE SALVO WARNING ALARMS AND CLOSE THE TOXIC GAS VENT DAMPERS. (8) 1MIN PRIOR TO LAUNCH, EXECUTE MISSION USING +1/-1 MINUTE AUTHORIZATION.
