To give you all a heads up. Next Thursday will be a mission evening. I am hoping we can run Showtimes new one with tasks and airframes for the 333rd boys to use. 
A full brief may be available nearer the time 
There will be enemy air threats and armour threats for A10-C's and F-15's as well as tasks for choppers in the area of Kutasi
So clear your diaries.
SRS will be enforced so get your shit together if you haven't already

Mission outline
There is a large soviet build up around the city of Zugdidi where the US have a presence assisting the local population in security and infrastructure. 
The Soviets seem intent on annexing the city and declaring it part of russia in the same way that they overran the Crimea peninsular in 2014
Mission Commanders intent
Reddog will lift troops from Senaki to the city of Zugdidi and insert them at stategic areas to dig in and prepare for the advance. Widow 7/9 to assist in placement and assigning drop zones. Additional troops are available to lift from FARP Suzy which is west of the village of Zubi ADF freq TBC
Colt fly to Zugdidi assign sectors and cover routes into the city
Hammer flight provide CAS to ground forces in Zugdidi
Ford provide CAP for the operation AWACS available freq 252 UHF
Additional taskings

Do we have any intel on the current location of the Russian forces, their size, and their likely ingress route to Zugdidi?

Yeah. Whatever. I can wing it.  

Busy making a map for the mission. I willl make a pdf for download

Hi Showtime,

A request from Paul, could you add M2000c's to be an alternative to the15 for CAP please?

Link for the map. I am afraid I could not convert it so it is available as Jpeg
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9eR4na2ZVk8cGo3U0ItODhqMDA
MSR Jane is road not rail line

Will do Spec. Does Paul want it hot started?

can do mate, thanks - stick a few in there just in case if possible, many thanks

This will be the nine line card I will use for CAS

Also to be able to use the ground forces with SRS ,1.2.9.1 will be used on Thursday this will hopefully provide a definitive test of this version and allow the standardised use of 1 version across the battalion

thanks Cib, please remember that I am wearing a Rift lol

Anyways here is a cropped and converted version of the map in PDF, in case anyone wants to use in their kneeboard.

Cheers Spec

I'm off that day I'll be there! Can I call a Ka-50 spot?

Just a suggestion for the A-10 pilots. Now you know the MSR's if your able to do a bit of homework mark down the co-ordinates and elevation for each road and enter them in the CDU before T/O.
Then when you slave to the waypoint your sensors are straight in the area required
