MISSION BRIEFING

MISSION NAME: RESOLVE

This is a three phase mission. 

Phase One - 06.00Z: Fly with Attack Group Alpha from  the Enterprise  to Hyon Ni airbase (Waypoint 2) and suppress enemy air-defences in support of a bombing strike against the airbase and the nearby railway complex. Attack Group Bravo consisting of two A10s will launch at 6.04 from  Chuncheon to support the attack on Hyon Ni and the railway complex. Ensure the destruction of all enemy fighters  at Hyon Ni and the destruction of the ground targets

Attack Group Alpha consists of two F-14 Tomcats and a F/A 18 Hornet. Attack Group Bravo consists of two A10 Thunderbolts.

Recover and re-arm  at Chuncheon (Waypoint 3).


Phase Two - 06.20Z: Fly with Attack Group Charlie from Chuncheon to Maeng San airbase (Waypoint 4) and destroy the enemy fighter group based there.

Attack Group Charlie consists of an F16 Falcon and F/A 18 Hornet (with a possible assist from  an F-14 flying from  the Enterprise  - if available)

Recover and re-arm  at Chuncheon (Waypoint 3).


Phase Three (Optional): Intelligence has indicated possible enemy tank and helicopter movements between Ichon airbase (Waypoint 5) and Kaesong airbase (Waypoint 6). Fly a reconnaissance patrol of the area and engage any targets of opportunity that present themselves. There is no firm  information  about enemy air defences in the Ichon-Kaesang area so caution is recommended.

Recover at Dongducheon (Waypoint 7).



ADDITIONAL NOTES

This mission involves a series of phases and it is therefore  essential that you keep track of elapsed time so that you can join the various sorties and attacks. To keep track of elapsed time use the HSD in cockpit lookdown mode where Zulu time is indicated in the bottom left hand corner and the elapsed time (ET)  is displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

The design of this mission was intended to offer  extended flight time and game play, and the chance to experience a variety of combat situations during a single flight.  I hope you enjoy it.
