European Based 16th Air Expeditionary Wing Recruits C-130J Crews Who We Are? 16th Air Expeditionary Wing is a small, but crucial part of CJTF-13 Batallion (EU Milsim Battalion). Battalion is aiming for the most realistic and immersive virtual experience in TAW DCS, featuring Fighter Jet, Cargo, helicopter and Control Squadrons. We follow real life procedures as closely as possible, we use strict radio communications and train HARD to get to this high level of virtual flying! This type of flight simming is not for everyone, because it requires a certain type of mindset, fierce dedication and motivation to do it right. If you are looking for relatively short, action packed missions which can be played without much in-depth planning and preparation, then the CJTF-13 is NOT the right place for you. 16th Air Expeditionary Wing consists of one C-130J Squadron: Binational Air Transport Squadron Rhin/Rhein The Binational Air Transport Squadron is the dedicated airlift squadron within the Combined Joint Task Force-13 (CJTF-13). It´s primary focus is tactical and strategic air mobility. The squadron specializes in personnel and cargo transport, aerial delivery (parachute and platform), aeromedical evacuation (MEDEVAC), humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, airborne insertion and extraction, and logistics resupply. Trained to operate from austere and short-field airstrips, the squadron is proficient in night and adverse-weather operations and in coordinating with joint and partner-nation assets for cross-border lift and reception. The Binational Air Transport Squadron is capable of sustaining distributed forces and delivering time-critical personnel and materiel across a range of threat environments. Our Schedule The CJTF-13 hold its weekly events on Sundays @ 1945 CE(S)T (Summer Time 1745Z, Winter Time 1845Z) and Thursdays @ 2030 CE(S)T (Summer Time 1830Z, Winter Time 1930Z) Our Requirements In order to apply for the C130 Squadron, make sure you are meeting our requirements: Being PRO-ACTIVE, willing to read and learn documents and perfect your skills in your own time, outside of regular training events Basic experience using Navigation, Combat Systems and Weapons Experience with using SRS (Simple Radio) and Basic knowledge of ATC Communication Able to execute proper Airbase procedures Able to speak, read and understand english Using TrackIR or a similar system, or Virtual Reality Owning C130J when it releases, Syria and Persian Gulf maps (No Free Trials!) Among other requirements, this stands alone, as most common potential disqualifier: Our applicant must be able to attend at least 35% of our events in given month. We strongly believe, that consistency and tenaciousness are keys to success If you are unable to match few of those requirements, don't give up and make sure, that you are fierce in your willing to improve in short time with or without help of our instructors. Being able to learn is The quality, that we want to see in our pilots! How to apply? In order to apply, visit our discord and ask about C-130 recruitment in public chat. Our drill instructor will reach you and open private recruitment thread, guiding you through all next steps. While you are waiting for thread to be opened, feel free to visit our Website and explore more about us But C-130J is not released yet? Yes that´s right. We don´t start flying till it is released. But we have decided to start recruiting now for people that know they want to fly the C130 on release. But we have a chance to get to know better. Also the public available information will be studied right away. Also you have to option to make a familiarization flight with either the F16, F18 or F4 Phantom to test your aviation skills.

REDFOR CARGO AND TANKER (AWACS) PLANE: IL76MD/78M MODULE FOR DCS WORLD After the announcement of the C130 in both cargo and tanker versions, it would be nice if ED would consider to develop a REDFOR equivalent for cargo and aerial refueling operations. This would contribute to a better ballance between opposing forces in DCS, and overall more possibilities for logistic operations in DCS. Why is the IL76 base the perfect choise for these tasks in DCS World? The IL76 is since the 70s in constant production and was delivered to many different nations like RUSSIA, CHINA, INDIA, PAKISTAN, SYRIA, BELARUS, UKRAINE,ALGERIA, IRAN, and many more. There the plane proved its reliability in decades of intense use in many different airforces. This makes the IL76 perfect for the most versatile military and civilian missions in DCS World. An IL76 Module could be use for aerial refueling (IL78) AWACS operations (A50/A100) cargo transport, aswell as cargo and paratrooper drops (IL76). The IL76 was also used on many of the digital battlefields we have in DCS World. This and the versatile capabilities make the IL76 perfect as a possible new DCS aircraft. Data and system modelling: I hope that because of the long production time there should be many diffrent documents and databases available for the IL76. The long production time is also conductive to modeling different versions of the aircraft, as its not necessary to use the most modern (likely) classified version for refference.
