Q

two types of SEAD

Study These Flashcards
A

preplanned

reactive RSEAD`

25
two types of CAS requests
preplanned | immediate
26
the MAGTF consist of
CE, LCE, ACE (TACC, DASC), GCE
27
TACC
Tactical Air Command Center: integration, coord, and directions of joint and combined air ops. supervises the DASC
28
DASC
Direct Air support center: principal air control agency for providing procedural air control of ops that directly support ground forces in specified airspace - provides ingress/egress route - supervised by TACC - coord execution of CAS
29
FSCC
- monitor net to maintain aware on conflicts - assesses requirements and assigns assets based on what matches required support - integrates fire support and maneuver with CAS to avoid conflict. - protects aircraft from friendly surface fires. link between FDC and DASC. - centralized location for comms and personnel for all forms of fires - fire support coordinator consist of AirO, NGLO, 81mm rep, arti rep
30
FDC
targeting and counter fire tactical fire direction movement and positioning of units
31
SACC
supporting arms coordination center - provides shipboard guidance and coord - process JTARS, determine best supporting arms, communicate with TACP to cood CAS requests - coordinates artillery, air and NSFS. - functions as fire support coord for maritime forces. - coord supporting fires to put amphib force ashore
32
TACP
advise ground commander of capes & lims of air ops provides the primary terminal attack control of CAS organic to marine infantry divisions, regs, & batts
33
FiST
Fire support team | company level equivalent of a battalions FSCC
34
SFCP
shore fire control party - relays info for control of naval gunfire in support of troops ashore - specially trained unit for control of naval gunfire ashore - spotting team and liaison team
35
FAC
- aviator - certified JTAC - coordinates and directs combat aircraft
36
FAC A
- airborne extension of TACP - coordinates before JTAC and CAS AC - can function autonomously in absence of JTAC - marks targets - reconnaissance
37
TGO
Terminal Guidance Operator - provides SA to players using gps, lasers, pods, etc... - cannot control maneuver or weapons release
38
JTAC
- control maneuver of AC and employment of ordnance - provide attack coord for AC - deconflict airspace - provides terminal guidance for combat AC in close prox to friendly
39
IDF
- allows maneuver units to accomplish objective | - reduces risk to friendlies by engaging enemy from distance
40
CAS
- air action by fixed or rotary in close prox to friendlies | - require integration with fire and movement of friendlies
41
NSFS
- support ground maneuvers with guided and unguided munitions - provide fire support for advancing amphib troops
42
Local commander
Request air support for specific entity or activity | -request SEAD if necessary
43
Artillery liaison officer
provides advice on amount of ammunition, minutes of smoke and illum available and logistics of artillery units
44
ACE
plan sead, NSFS, and CAS requirements in support of battle plan
45
air officer
- provides estimates of supportability - monitors, request, and provides clearance for immediate fires - informs FSCC of status of current and future missions - primary advisor for integrations of air and ground
46
NGLO
- coord with shipboard gun units | - monitor net to maintain awareness of conflicts
47
FSC
- supervises the FSCC - acts as commanders rep for planning fire support - provides clearance for fire missions
48
JFO
- requests, adjust, and controls surf to surf fires - Monitors the company/battalion fires net - communicates with the JTAC - can support air delivered and surf to surf fires - provides targeting info for type 2 and 3 CAS - Can perform autonomous terminal guidance operations
49
1. Routing / safety of flight
- 3 dimensional directions - holding point and alt - agency to contact - other aircraft - surface to air threats - safety of flight info
50
Situation Update
``` Threat Enemy Sit Friendly Arti Clearance Auth Hazards Remarks Restrictions ```
51
5 line
``` 1.observer / warning order/ gameplan warning order (type of control, method or attack, ordnance requested_ 2. friendly location / mark 3. target location 4. target description 5. remarks / restrictions ```
52
two types of FSCM's
permissive and restrictive
53
Permissive FSCM's
``` CFL's FSCL's FFA BCL Killbox ```
54
Restrictive FSCM's
Restrictive firing line No fire line Restrictive firing area
55
AO
Geographical area defined by a joint commander
56
Phase line
used for control and coordination of ops | -easily identifiable from air or ground
57
boundary
geographical limit of a units zone of actions
58
TAOR
area where the commander is responsible for the control and coordination of assigned forces
