AHC STRATEGIC BOMBING COMMAND

OPERATION “ROLEX” “When the strike of a hawk breaks the body of its prey, it is because of timing” - Sun Tzu

CONFIDENTIAL

OPERATION ROLEX DATE:

SATURDAY DATE: TBD

TIME:

2000 GMT (1600 US EST) (0600 SUNDAY AUSTRALIA/SYDNEY)

OVERVIEW: SIMULTANEOUS FLIGHTS OF BOMBERS WITH FIGHTER ESCORT FLYING ACROSS THE MAP UTILIZING MULTIPLE INGRESS ROUTES TO TARGET ALL NINE AXIS PRODUCTION FACILITIES. COMMAND AND CONTROL: OVERALL OPERATIONAL COMMAND WILL BE ASSIGNED TO AN OPERATION OIC. OPERATION OIC WILL ALSO SERVE AS BOMBER GROUP OIC AND SHALL MANAGE BOMBER PILOT ASSIGNMENT AND FLIGHT ORGANIZATION. FIGHTER GROUP OIC WILL BE ASSIGNED TO MANAGE FIGHTER PILOT ASSIGNMENT AND ORGANIZATION OF REQUIRED FIGHTER FLIGHTS. BOMBER COMMAND CHANNEL WILL BE TEXT CH3. FIGHTER COMMAND CHANNEL WILL BE TEXT CH58. IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE CHAT ON COMMAND CHANNELS, ALL FLIGHTS WILL UTILIZE INDIVIDUAL MISSION TEXT CHANNEL FOR FLIGHT-SPECIFIC COMMUNICATIONS. ALL FLIGHT LEADS SHOULD MONTIOR 3 AND 58 FOR COMMAND AND CONTROL INFORMATION. OPERATION GROUP COMMON VOICE FREQUENCY WILL BE ALLIED TS 70 BOMBER WING, 70 SQUADRON. BATTLE COMMS MUST BE STRICTLY ENFORCED TO ENSURE CHANNEL REMAINS CLEAR TO PASS MISSION CRITICAL REPORTS, COMMANDS, AND INFORMATION.

OPERATIONAL TIMELINE (APPROXIMATE): 1930 GMT:

FLIGHT LEADS MEET ON TS FOR OPERATION BRIEFING AND FLIGHT ASSIGNMENTS (UTILIZING ENCLOSED FLIGHT BRIEFING SHEETS).

1950 GMT:

FLIGHT LEADS CREATE INDIVIDUAL MISSIONS, LOAD WAYPOINTS AND TAXI TO DESIGNATED RALLY POINT ON AIRFIELD

2000 GMT:

.ALLIEDS ISSUED DIRECTING AVAILABLE PILOTS TO CHECK IN ON CH3 FOR BOMBER DUTY OR ON CH58 FOR FIGHTER DUTY

20002025 GMT:

BOMBER AND FIGHTER OIC'S ASSIGN PILOTS CHECKING IN ON CH3/58 TO BOMBER/FIGHTER FLIGHTS AS NEEDED. PILOTS SPAWN IN ON APPROPRIATE MISSION AND FORM UP WITH FLIGHT LEAD ON AIRFIELD

2025 GMT

ON COMMAND FROM OPERATION OIC, ALL ASSEMBLED FIGHTER FLIGHTS LIFT AND PROCEED TO RESPECTIVE PT2 AND HOLD FOR BOMBER RENDEZVOUS.

2030 GMT:

ON COMMAND FROM OPERATION OIC, BOMBER FLIGHTS LIFT INDIVIDUALLY AND PROCEED TO DESIGNATED PT1 THEN PT2 FOR FIGHTER RENDEZVOUS.

2100 GMT:

ON COMMAND FROM OPERATION OIC, BOMBER FLIGHTS ALPHA, BRAVO AND FIGHTER FLIGHT RED PUSH FROM PT2 TO INITIAL POINT AND THENCE TO ASSIGNED TARGETS

2105 GMT:

ON COMMAND FROM OPERATION OIC (UPON HEARING THAT A/B FLIGHTS HAVE REACHED THEIR INITIAL POINT), REMAINING GROUPS PUSH FROM PT2 TO INITIAL POINTS AND THENCE TO ASSIGNED TARGETS

2115 GMT:

BOMBER GROUPS ALPHA & BRAVO TIME ON TARGET. FIGHTER GROUP RED REMAINS OVERHEAD FACTORIES FOR FIGHTER SWEEP/BARCAP AHEAD OF MAIN GROUP.

2120 GMT:

REMAINING GROUPS TIME ON TARGET

2140 GMT:

ALL FLIGHTS RECOVER AT BRUSSELS AIRFIELD

ROUTE OF FLIGHT:

SEE ATTACHED MASTER CHART DOCUMENT

KEY ELEMENTS: 1. MORE ACTIVE PILOT ASSIGNMENT PROCESS THAT PREVENTS ONE FLIGHT FROM HAVING TOO MANY BOMBERS, WHILE ANOTHER HAS TOO FEW. BOMBER/FIGHTER OICS DIRECTLY MANAGE FLIGHT ASSIGNMENT IN ASSEMBLY PHASE. 2. LEAD GROUP (WITH DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGHER NUMBER OF ESCORTS) PUSHES INTO ENEMY TERRITORY 5-7 MINUTES AHEAD OF MAIN GROUP. DRAWS EA AWAY FROM MAIN GROUP’S INGRESS ROUTE AND SERVES AS FIGHTER SWEEP/BARCAP AHEAD OF MAIN GROUP. 3. USES CAREFULLY PLANNED WAYPOINTS THAT ENSURE DISTANCES TRAVELED BY EACH FLIGHT ARE EQUAL. BOMBERS ARE PLACED IN HOLDING AT PT2 AND THEN RELEASED BY OIC EN-MASSE TO PREVENT BOMBER FLIGHTS FROM GETTING STRUNG OUT ACROSS THE MAP. OVERWHELM FACTORY D BY HAVING MULTIPLE GROUPS OVER TARGET NEARSIMULTANEOUSLY

6. 7. 8.

UTILIZES FOUR DIFFERENT BOMBER ASSEMBLY AIRFIELDS, MINIMIZES OVERSTOCKING REQUIREMENTS AND PREVENTS ENEMY SPOTTERS FROM KNOWING TRUE SIZE AND COMPOSITION OF ATTACK. CONTROL INFORMATION. FLIGHT LEADS ONLY REQUIRE AND EXECUTE INFO PERTAINNG TO THEIR FLIGHT. OIC MAINTAINS “BIG PICTURE” AND DIRECTS ALL FLIGHTS ACCORDINGLY. NO INDIVIDUAL PILOT JOINING THE OPERATION HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THE SIZE/COMPOSITION OR LOCATION OF ANY OTHER GROUP AT ANY TIME. RAF HAVOC BOMBERS ARE USED TO TARGET MG. ALLOWS PARTICIPATION BY THOSE WITHOUT SUFFICIENT FAF RANK TO SPAWN DB-7’S. LIMITS NUMBER OF AIRCRAFT AT ANY GIVEN PLACE/TIME/ALTITUDE…HELPS AVOID LAG AND POTENTIAL CTD ISSUES. SCALABLE. SINCE OPERATION IS COMPRISED OF MULTIPLE SMALLER FLIGHTS, OIC CAN EASILY REDUCE NUMBER OF FLIGHTS IF PLAYER TURNOUT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO FULLY EXECUTE THE PLAN.
