What Title relates to conducting the Ops (The people applying the non-kinetic effects)?

Title 10

What Title relates to Intel support (This is your Intel-Sensors calling your effectiveness)?

Title 50

What is SMEAC (mission planning)?

* **Situation** – the current ground truth * **Mission** – the objective * **Execution** – the “how” * **Administration** – the means/logistics * **Communication** – Primary/Alternate/Contingency/Emergency (PACE) plans and contracts

# Identify * Big picture * Often times, this will include a large summary of events currently pertaining to the overall campaign or conflict. This will come from the intelligence community, through the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) ## Footnote SMEAC

Situation

# Identify * Tactical Objectives * This is a Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) mission that will be conducted by a combination of 4th and 5th generation fighters, with a final push by the strategic bombers. ## Footnote SMEAC

Mission

# Identify * How is SEW going to support the mission * This is the tactical level for a SEW detachment. What effects do you need to apply in order to ensure a successful SEAD mission. * All RFI’s should have been accomplished prior ## Footnote SMEAC

Execution

# Identify * The logistical plan to accomplish the mission. * Who has OPCON, ADCON, TACON? * Review the execution plan to ensure you have all the information and authorities necessary to accomplish the mission. ## Footnote SMEAC

Administration

What is the most important part of SMEAC?

Communication

What are the two parts of Communication?

* PACE Plan * Contracts (CACI)

What does PACE stand for in Pace Plan?

* **Primary** – What are your primary means of communication (Chat) * **Alternate** – What happens when the primary is being used (TSVOIP) * **Contingency** – Things are going wrong, how do you communicate? (Cell Phone) * **Emergency** – Worst case scenario, but still need to communicate. (Smoke signals)

What does CACA stand for in Contracts?

* **Criteria** – “X” happens, which triggers a contract * **Authority** – Who has the ownership of saying that “X” happened? * **Communication** – EXACT VERBAGE! When “X” happens, then we will send a chat message with these exact words to this group of individuals. * **Action** – What action is expected to take place after the communications? After receiving message from Team A, Team B will perform these exact steps.

# Identify * Do you understand the mission, communication, and time-sync? * Do you have all the required information to succeed? ## Footnote SEW Operation Consideration

First thing first (before execution)

# Identify * Is your system set up correctly? * Crew Dynamics ## Footnote SEW Operation Consideration

Second thing second (preparing for execution)

# Identify Knowing your role ## Footnote SEW Operation Consideration

Third thing third (execution)

# Identify What was your impact? ## Footnote SEW Operation Consideration

Last thing last (debrief)
