JSTAR PATROL
"The JSTAR Patrol mission is carried out by the Boeing E8 Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System aircraft.  This aircraft provides a radar in the sky which is able to see virtually all ground vehicles and ships up to roughly one hundred miles away.   The JSTAR commander is able to control a developing ground battle from this command post, and is able to communicate both by voice and data with all aircraft and other elements of command and control.  For the purposes of this game ground targets detected by the JSTARS aircraft are presented on the AWACS display.
During its mission the JSTARS aircraft orbits a race track in the sky at medium altitude safely  well behind a protective barrier of CAP missions, and refuel aircraft."
