Training JTAC may either use the MANPADs or otherwise seize control of PREDATOR’s HMMWVs and practice convoy-escort procedures 4) About 1km to the WEST of the JTAC position are another pair of HMMWVs that may be used to simulate JTAC’s exfil while handing over control to a FAC(A) to cover its retreat.
Range-15 CAS preset scenario #3
SITUATION:
1) In recent weeks ISIS has seized a group of villages close to our Eastern border, North East of the city of AL-AIN.
2) ISIS has established a sizeable presence in the area and is using the villages as a base of operations for staging terror and artillery attacks against civilian and military installations IVO AL-AIN.

2) ISIS also taken hold of small quantities of standard military equipment stolen from Syrian army units such as T-55s, IFVs and artillery assets (mortars and GRADs) and short range SAMs.
3) Guerilla warfare tactics are expected to be encountered in the form of roadblocks and ambush teams that would try to harass and attrit allied forces entering the AO.
4) INTL expecting enemy to make use of densely populated areas to hide its high value assets to defend them from airstrikes (Making use of colatteral damange to gain support by local communities.
FRIENDLIES:
1) Three (x3) assault teams of M1s and M2s sections to secure the perimeter of the AO.

2) Artillery is under JTAC/GFC direct control.
3) STRYKER teams are fully manual. Setting the path and maneuvering them is under GFC/JTAC control and coordination.
4) All RED units are set to engage BLUE GROUND units only so as to minimize risk of air assets taking part in the training.
