Deny Flight

"Some years ago Ethiopia, and Eritrea split from the old country of Ethiopia.
A certain amount of animosity has remained between the two countries which was
made worse due to their complete lack of agreement in talks to gain land locked
Ethiopia access to the sea at the port of Aseb in southern Eritrea.

Ethiopia has invaded the southern half of Eritrea, prompting Eritrea to call on
surrounding countries, and the UN for help.
Both Somalia and Sudan have claimed nuetrality, and threatened to shoot down
any foreign aircraft in their airspace.

aircraft from supporting their ground forces.

for a strike at a crucial power station in that area, your mission is a US
armed recconaisance for tomorrow's raid.

Take off with your wingman will be at 0400 hours, you must familiarise yourself
with the area while trying not to alert the defences that a raid is imminent.

Border Patrol

"The border between Saudi Arabia, and Yemen has been under dispute since the
two countries were formed.
As the border was empty desert it was of little consequence,
                                                   until the discovery of oil.
The Saudi Arabian government has split into several vocal factions.
Two months ago one of these factions, by force of arms gained control of the
far south west of the country claiming independence, and making closer ties to
arch rival Yemen.
The Original government (and largest faction) retains control over the rest of
the country, and enjoys the support of the UN, especially the USA which
maintains large forces on Saudi soil.
Saudi government forces with US assistance are now set to retake this
independent area with military action and at the same time deal with the
increasing border incursions by all three Yemen armed services.
Yemen has been supplied with SCUD missiles and modern fighters by Russia,
these weapons are now being used to threaten the stability of the area.
The US will use the opportunity to take out much of Yemen's strike capability,
imposing a blockade by sea and a no fly zone over the disputed border, and the
Gulf of Aden.

Your mission is to fly a Saudi CAP with your wingman along the disputed border
area, starting in the air at 0900 hours.
You will have air to air weapons onboard.

The Rules of Engagement in force currently are:
All contacts must be identified visually by eyeball, or Televisual sensor, and
must not be engaged until after the adversary has fired upon you, and
permission to engage has been granted by control.
Positively no ground targets are to be engaged"

Air Rebels

"As the exchange of tit for tat dogfights continues the Saudi government will
use the diversion to attack bases of the Saudi rebel forces in the south west
of their country.
The rebels are also in possession of aircraft which must be destroyed before
they have a chance of being deployed in support of further Yemeni action, which
would likely cause much confusion.

Your mission is to fly a Saudi fighter sweep across rebel areas with your three
wingmen.
Take off is at 1012 hours.

The Rules of Engagement in force currently are:
All contacts must be identified as rebel, or Yemeni by its actions,
and by sensors with eyeball back up, before it can be  engaged.
Ground targets within definite Rebel territory only are to be engaged,
unless Yemeni ground positions fire upon you first"

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Sea CAP

"In order to counter the further delivery of weapons and munitions to Yemen
from China via Iran, US forces at the request of the Saudi government have
placed a 'sea control area' in the Gulf of Aden.
As the US forces have no bases except in Saudi which would mean risky over
flight of Yemen in support of this blockade, France has granted US F22's and
other air and naval units, use of bases in Djibouti.
The blockade is coming under attack from the Yemeni air and naval services."

You are to fly a combined US CAP, and sea control mission over the Gulf of Aden.
Take off will be at 1344 hours from Djibouti with your three wingmen.
Rockets, HARPOON's, and air to air weapons are to carried.

The Rules of Engagement in force currently are:

fired upon by them."

Air Force

"Today Saudi aircraft will massive strikes on all bases and facilities in the
zone 50 miles behind the border.

Your US mission is to enable the Saudi F15E's to strike several facilities by
providing both CAP and SEAD cover.
Take off is at 2200 hours with your three wingmen, HARM's and air to air
weapons will be carried.

The Rules of Engagement in force currently are:
All air / sea contacts must be identified as Yemeni by sensor and or Televisual
