|Degrade TS-024 radar effectiveness with maximum effort. Reactive SEAD permitted against emitting threat systems tracking package aircraft.
|-
|6012 (HAT — OCA)
|Deny adversary air interference within package airspace. Priority: aircraft targeting MSN 6011, then TS-024 support, then all other hostile air. Orbit: N35°05.098 E035°44.098, AG27, 090, 10 nm.
|-
|6013 (COWBOY — Escort)
|Deny adversary air interference on MSN 6014. Targeting range: 65 nm.
|-
|6014 (BOLO — DEAD)
|Destruction of TS-024R (primary). Destruction of TS-024S (secondary).

== ROE ==

=== PID ===
PID required prior to weapons release on all air or surface contacts unless hostile act is demonstrated. Sources: NCTR/radar profile, correlated CRC/AWACS track, visual ID. Unidentified aircraft departing known mixed-use or adversary-controlled bases are NOT automatically hostile.

=== BVR ===
BVR weapons authorised only after PID or declaration by controlling agency. Weapons free against aircraft declared HOSTILE or demonstrating hostile act. Third-party deconfliction aircraft require higher authority clearance unless self-defence.

=== Surface Attack ===
Weapons release authorised on assigned ATO targets only. Dynamic targeting requires CAOC approval unless self-defence. CDE 1–3 delegated; higher requires CAOC approval.
----

== Abort Criteria ==

* Target PID cannot be confirmed
* Collateral damage risk exceeds authorisation
* Fuel state prevents safe recovery
* Supporting mission unsuccessful and threat unacceptable
* Major technical faults

----

== Lost Comms Procedures ==
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
!Trigger
!Action
|-
|Loss of AWACS
|Default to package commander control. Abort if comms not restored within 5 minutes.
|-
|Loss of package comms
|Continue mission if task and ROE remain clear. Abort if situation awareness is degraded.
|-
|Loss of intraflight comms
|Continue assigned task. Re-establish post-target if feasible. Abort if comms cannot be re-established.
|}
----

== Safety ==
Minimum separation between coalition aircraft outside tactical formation: 5 nm / 2,000 ft.
