Ingress/Egress
A FAC may require a CAS attack to be conducted from a specific direction to ensure safe and effective employment of weapons. This may be required for reasons including:
- Deconfliction with friendly forces.
- Avoidance of restricted airspace, such as air defence threats or national boundaries.
- Reducing the risk of friendly fire during Danger Close engagements.
Ingress and egress directions can be specified using one of two methods:
- Cardinal Direction
- Example: “Ingress from north-east to south-west.”
- Example: “Ingress from north-east to south-west.”
- Pre-established Marker
- Example: “Ingress from Marker Alpha.”
