Well look no further, we have the perfect solution just here. Equip your own TACP squad with one or two quads or a motorbike. This will have them getting eyes and bombs on targets faster than Joe Biden spells president out loud.

Get it today, and we will also throw in… well… much LOVE from the TACP’s, and they are like chefs, you wanna have them happy, warm and fuzzy close to you ! 🤙

I genuinely think the reason why I spent the majority of last map at the fob is because of this issue. The lack of mobility leads to inopportune target acquisition and it’s just easier to stay at a TOC and process ISR then call fires.

#

You give me a quad though? We out there.

Please tell me this new map has more then 6m of elevation. Yes plz quads for 1-8

I get the want for quads and maneuverability, but what does that have to do with type 3s?

See OP

#

See OP?

frank pine
#

type 3 missions are where the observer is unable to visually see the target OR where the observer is giving clearance for multiple engagements in a single run

what

bitter locust
#

?

frank pine
#

wdym not all is true

#

that's literally what a type 3 is

#

I didn't say you can't use 1 and 2 I was just saying what a type 3 was

bitter locust
#

type 3 is the same requirements as type 2. the only diffference is the clearance for multiple engagements

frank pine
#

yes but you also don't have to visually acquire the target

#

the observer*

bitter locust
#

you dont need that for a type 2 either

frank pine
#

yes you do

bitter locust
#

no.

#

its the same requirements

#

all you need is real time targeting data for both type 2 and 3

#

type one is the only control where targets and attacking aircraft must be visually identified by the jtac

frank pine
#

with a type 1 and 2 the observer must give a BDA

#

how do you expect him to give a BDA if you can't see the target

bitter locust
#

bda is given for all attacks regardless of type of control. bda can also come from different sources. what im saying is you are not required to only use type 3 if you dont have eyes on your target.

@bitter locust You're right, there is no causality between fire mission type and Quad Bikes.

"Type 2 control is used when the JTAC or FAC(A) requires control of individual attacks and is unable to visually acquire the attacking aircraft at weapons release or is unable to visually acquire the target."

#

Note how it says JTAC not observer

bitter locust
#

now write what it says for type 3

frank pine
#

“Type 3 control is used when the JTAC or FAC(A) requires the ability to provide clearance for multiple attacks within a single engagement subject to specific attack restrictions. Type 3 control does not require the JTAC to visually acquire the aircraft or the target”

#

so?

bitter locust
#

ok so they are the exact same except for the clearance. type 2 can also be used when the jtac cannot get eyes on the targets. Having the bikes would be cool but does not effect your type of control unless you planned on type 1 attacks which from my understanding is what the post was about

unique violet
#

To be clear it’s more to increase mobility of the JTAC’s to actually get eyes on target. Type of control regardless.

#

They have the same requirements according to jp 3-09.3

#

You don't need to see the aircraft, nor the target for Type 2/3

jaunty loom
#

Not exactly. Further on in the publication it reads that you must be able to visually acquire the target with either yourself, or real time targeting data (ROVER, ISR feed, etc).

The main difference is the lack of need to visually do so every time with type 3. You still have control, but the type 3 control allows for multiple attacks, while type 2 maintains control of individual attacks.

#

Regardless, this post was not intended for arguments of the minutiae. This post was to advocate for some hot girl shit to help the JTACs provide better control via increased ability to maneuver about the terrain, regardless of type of control.
