The Allies intend to "cut off the enemy and then destroy him".
In order to cut off their retreat from Kuwait we are going to knock out
the bridges South of Al Basrah.
You are to launch with Hornet Two and follow him at 8,000 feet ASL and
400KIAS to the Humbert bridge at Waypoint 1. Your mission is to kill the
SAM and AAA sites around the bridge. Use "Iron Hand" tactics with
Hornet Two... he "draws" the SAMs to him and you accelerate at
low level to shoot the SAM sites with HARMs. Hornet Two will hit the Southern
AAA site at the bridge. You must hit the Northern AAA site to clear a path
for Hornet Three and Four.
Hornet Three and Four will launch 5 minutes behind you. They are carrying
MK84LD bombs and aim to bomb the bridge at 0430 hrs. You must protect them.
Two F-16s are on a CAP about Safwan while two more F-16s are on their
way to attack the IQAAF H2 Airbase North of Quatir with CBU-59 Cluster Bombs.
This is part of our continuing effort to keep the IQAAF on the ground.
