Launch from Qasumah and perform a nighttime BARCAP across the border
in Iraqi airspace. You are to stop any IQAAF attacks on any Saudi Arabian
installations about your first Waypoint. Cruise at 15,000 feet ASL and 420KIAS.
The other three F-18s in your flight are loaded for "Bear" so
take a HARM or two with you in case a SAM site decides to target the flight.
2 F-16s are on a CAP about Qasumah to protect you as you launch and clear
your six o'clock as you proceed to your BARCAP station. They will press
on towards Rafha, bringing up the rear.
Be aware that IQAAF tactics are known to include diversionary attacks.
Intelligence notes that some IQAAF Mig-21 pilots have been seen to use their
air-to-air radar sparingly to preclude RWR "spikes" on your HUD.
They may sneak up on your six before you have a chance to react...
