EagleScout walks through the JTAC/FAC to CAS 9 line procedure for ARMA 3. Improve your communications and decrease response times by being clear and concise.
This is pure gold right here. You have no idea how far I looked for this info. I even tried to learn it from the manuals and a 10 minutes video did more than all my research
lines 4,6, and restrictions are the only required readbacks. for rotary aircraft, you would use a BP instead of IP and line 3 distance is in meters. line titles dont need read either assuming aircrew is familiar with 9-line format. cool video.
Tenisha Lynch BP's are used as a fixed point of cover for a rotary asset, it is a point behind a hill or such where they can gain elevation, release ordinance and then lose altitude back to cover. IP's or ingress points are used for both fixed and rotary wing as a point of ingress to an AO.
EASCARTA GAMING no. 9 lines take much longer than CCA and they require clearance. CCA is simple. My pos, mark, target location, description, mark and remarks restriction. much quicker. No clearance required.
well gentlemen because our group is small and while playing on public servers, our CAS bird is typically off station servicing other areas. Our JTAC essentially acts as FAC and JTAC and may need to give a bigger picture to the pilot than a simple CCA depending on comms traffic and urgency. But I appreciate the advice. I have government training but zero military training and rely on others primarily for procedures such as this. Thanks for the info, I it gives me more to research?
EASCARTA GAMING Also, you don't really need to plan IPs. You can use key hole IPs A=North, B=East, C=South, D=West. So you'll get line 2 really easy. So if he's coming from 5 nm to the N. 1. A 2. 180 3. 5 point 0 or for ease, just say Lines 1 through 3 from A5. You can also put aircraft in an orbit around an echo point. So say the target is the Echo point, you could put them at E5 so they'll be in a 5 nm orbit. So for lines 1,2,3 from E5, that way you can have any final attack heading. or you can put them in the overhead, which will give them the best situational awereness because they're directly overhead. So lines 1,2,3 from the overhead. Then go 4-9. the overhead is essentially an echo point but it's just called overhead.
JTAC stands for "Joint Terminal Attack Controller" not "Joint Tactical Air Controller" FYI. Also, your 12 step procedure is hugely out of sequence, and there are far too many things in this video to try and correct. I suggest finding one of the out-dated J-Fires and 3.09-3 Joint Pubs to download online. You won't find a current one for obvious reasons, but there are plenty of slightly outdated ones you can read through. Those are basically the bibles that JTACs carry around with them and must know. If you want to be concise with verbiage, you can find out-dated copies of the Brevity Pubs as well.

Its very basic and not officially correct
lines 4,6, and restrictions are the only required readbacks. for rotary aircraft, you would use a BP instead of IP and line 3 distance is in meters. line titles dont need read either assuming aircrew is familiar with 9-line format. cool video.
Tenisha Lynch distance in meters from center of BP
Tenisha Lynch BP's are used as a fixed point of cover for a rotary asset, it is a point behind a hill or such where they can gain elevation, release ordinance and then lose altitude back to cover. IP's or ingress points are used for both fixed and rotary wing as a point of ingress to an AO.
why use 9-line in cca situation?
Quick concise info to the pilot
