A group of USAAF helicopters are returning from a supply run to US troops
North of Ar' Ar. The USAAF helos are accompanied by a Special Operations
UH-60 which caries advanced ECM and EAW equipment. This helo has reported
sporadic contacts with a Mi-24 Hind to the North East of the flight.
You and Hornet Two are at that airbase already. You are continuing the
nightly Combat Air Patrols to protect Allied airbases in Saudi Arabia.
This CAP was just stepped up... launch immediately and follow Hornet
Two North at 410KIAS and 15,000 feet ASL to your first Waypoint. Rendezvous
with the USAAF helos and splash that Hind if it appears.
Then you are to press North East to Waypoint 2, with Hornet Two, performing
a BARCAP to prevent incursions of Allied airspace by IQAAF fighters.
2 F-16s will CAP close about Ar' Ar.
AMRAAM stocks are depleted. You may carry any number of AIM-9 Sidewinders.
BARCAP means "Kill Migs".
