Description
Currently we have an awesome dynamic scenario at R14, co-located with a FARP for fast re-arm and re-fuel.
The only obstacle helo wise is the dense mountainous terrain. The majority of the ENY forces are attacking on the valley floor and the steep mountain sides makes SLANT and SWING approaches in accordance with 565th procedure difficult.
Steep climbs for a helo is not optimal, we simply run out of power especially with FCR plus a combat load of Hellfires.
Granted this is a scenario we also need to train, but in order to train SLANT and SWING in a hostile TRAINING scenario plus familiarize crews to INTREP VID B-001, I propose the following.
- Have a dynamic ENY setup at a less mountain dense environment.
- ENY setup to be based upon INTREP VID B-001 but down sized
Of 1 I propose an attack on the city of Jokkmokk. Jokkmokk city is pretty close to Jokkmokk airfield so re-arm and re-fuel is done in app. 15-20 min. There is no steep mountains, but plenty of hills to take cover from ENY air defense units using SWING and SLANT approaches.
Of 2 the different down sized line units would attack the city from different directions, at different times. Using the information from the RWR Apache crews can utilize the knowledge of the INTREP VID B-001 to interpret what units/threats they are facing. The structure is the same as in out campaigns thus "Train as you fight".
Downsized unit could be something like this;
A. Downsized armor units could comprise of e.g 3x MBT + 1x Shilka + 1x SA-19 + 1x fuel truck + 1x ammo truck.
B. Downsized mechanized units could comprise of e.g 3x BMP + 1x Shilka + 1x SA-13 + 1x fuel truck + 1x ammo truck.
C. Downsized motorized units could comprise of e.g 3x BTR + 1x Shilka + 1x SA-9 + 1x fuel truck + 1x ammo truck.
Attached is an example of a training scenario I created based upon TRMA. Once one of the helo's at Jokkmokk air base enters a trigger zone, initial three maneuver units are sent on their different way. In case a maneuver unit is destroyed more than 80% another maneuver unit of different type is sent along same route.
The locations doesn't have to be in vicinity of Jokkmokk as there are already several fast mover scenarios already there. Locations was just utilized because TRMA already has units there. It can be any given location with similar less mountainous terrain., i.e. relatively flat compared to terrain in and around Bodø
