Steps to W&P planning of assault support
- Calculate max weight for Pr in the zone
- Find the useful load by subtracting the operating weight (aircraft + ord)from the max weight in the zone.
- Compute fuel required after insert
- Subtract the total fuel required after insert from the useful load to obtainthe max payload for the mission.
- Compute fuel required from the point of departure to the zone.
- Add the fuel required to get to the LZ to the max wieght computed in step 1 to find the take-off weight at the PZ.
- Determine the amount of extra fuel you need for contingencies and determine the actual advertised payload for GCE use.
TTP for where IP should be located?
3-5 NM from the LZ within 30 degrees of heading.
Contingencies that the AMC and AFL must plan for with the GCE
- CASEVAC
- Emergency Extract
- Immediate Reembarkation
- No Communication Plan
- Bump Plan
- TRAP
- EPW transportation
- Timeline shifts
Actions Required at the IP
- Make IP Inbound Call
- Decelerate tp planned ingress ground speed and establish landing formation and separation
- Establish proper altitude to ID LZ and avoid the threat.
- Make 2 min or 1 min calls
- Request Far/Near ITG
Types of Air Delivery Missions
- Combat resupply
- Sensor Drop
- Leaflet drop
- Routine delivery of Logistics and supplies.
