Building an ACO for Afghanistan theater

[graveyard4DCS]

Several people showed interest in building an ACO (Airspace Control Order) for the Afghan theatre.

For those who'd like to have an idea on how to build a realistic ACO, how to find historical data (like tanker's callsigns), and in particular where to place their tanker's tracks or at what altitude, you can have a look at my personal page. I tried to study all these topics in the previous days, and you might find valuable information if you want to recreate realistic missions.

Example of OEF ACO view from AFDD 3-52, Airspace Control (2011)

I started with a study of the early OEF phase (2001-2002), because at that time the overall situation was obviously simpler on the theatre, due to the absence of artillery or the rarity of civilian traffic. In ended up my analysis with an ACO proposal for that period.
