This PO will require you to perform a successful CSAR recovery of a downed pilot. You will be
given a 2nd element of A-10Cs to help eliminate targets.
As the On Scene Commander (OSC) you will need to coordinate the rescue effort.

We will be operating within a defined Military Operations Area (MOA) and using the Vaziani
Training Area and Firing Range (VTA).
The pattern altitude for landing is 2500' AGL.

The Hard Deck Restriction is in effect at 5000' AGL. Inside the VTA Range the Hard Deck
Restriction is lowered to 100' AGL.

The No Fire Zone Restriction has been terminated. Weapons release is now permitted in these
zones.

I'll be flying in an OH-58 Scout to record your comms and attack runs.

Good luck Airman!
