Operation Dragon's Perch - Sortie 2 "Chinese Invasion" 

Mission: China has attacked Guam to a devistating degree. They have taken key air fields on the island, and attempted to take Anderson AB.

Tasking:

• Nickel (F16c) Primary role was to support Marines defending Anderson AB using Mavericks.
• Hellcat (F18c) Primary Role was to sink Type 071 and 056A corvettes supporting land operations.
• Dude (F15e) Primary Role was to strike an enemy fuel depot and air field.
• Gypsy (F14) Primary Role was CAP.

Weather: Cloud base at 8k.

Process: Nickel had difficulties managing sensors in the dense jungle, but killed almost all targeted tanks. Hellcat accomplished their mission and flexed over to help Nickel.  Dude had difficulties using the F15's A/G radar to accurately find targets in the dense jungle. After a few attempts, they flexed over to the enemy airfield where they were able to drop their JDAMs with ease.  Gypsy had some crazy engagements with J-11 and J-15s.

Conclusion: It was a fun night. Some frustrations with systems and a few comedic errors, but everyone stayed flexible and ended the night on a good note.
