Execution

Commander's Intent

Friendly air groups will be coordinated by their flight leaders in squadrens of 4. Objectives will have us disrupt Axis operations in the area. Our specific tasking will be determined and briefed in operation.

Tasks and Sequencing

This is a carrier based operation. All pilots are recommended to not only familiarise themselves with the aircraf, SBD DIVE BOMBER. But also practice carrier landings on the Nimitz prior to the operation.

We will have waves of air assaults until our objectives are completed or the enemy air presence gets too high.

Administration/Logistics

Resupply

Resupply, Rearm and repair of aircrafts will be coneucted on the carrier.

Medical

If you go down in the ocean ping zeuses for "naval forces to collect you"

If you go down over enemy territory aim to exfil to the south coast. But DO NOT approach the coastal cities as these are Axis strongholds.

Fire Support Plan

AA Support from the carrier and its escorts

Command/Signal

Considerations

All air crews MUST digest this information.
