Report

• All three squadrons took off from Nellis, staggered by about 2min each
• Hellcat took off first so they could get to the Southern and Northern EWRs. They carried TALDs and reported when they were destroyed.
• Nickel (2 flights) took off next, staged at IP until Go-Ahead from Hellcat. 
• Dude (2 Flights) took off last, staged at their IP to wait on Go-Ahead from Nickel
• Once Go-Ahead was given, a verifiable convoy of flights descended upon the SA-10 battery.
• Nickel 1  >  Dude 2  >  Nickel 2  > Nickel 2
• Nickel 1 and 2 fired HARMs at the radars while Dude 2 went low, masked by mountains and lofted GBU-38s at the central EWR. Dude 1 followed behind to loft GBU-38s at the radars in order to overwhelm the system. This was a success. 
• Once all radars were down, Dude flights proceeded to take out the launchers and perform DEAD, while Nickel flights went after the SA-6s.
• Hellcat flight hunted and performed SEAD on the SA-15.
• Afterwards, all flights RTB to Nellis.

To add to this: squadron coordination was as close to perfect as I've seen it. Communication over Package was relevant, brief, and understandable. Arch, Lead for Nickel2, described it as "a good example of relaxing brevity in the name of clarity."  

While brevity was used, there were times we had to adjust plans so we could get to TOT. We had some good coordination, and a little luck on our side. It was a fun mission throughout.
