SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

Following is extracted frcm 5th AF Regulations nunber 55-5 for informa- tion and guidance Of KMAG Advisors

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

Following is extracted frcm 5th AF Regulations nunber 55-5 for informa- tion and guidance Of KMAG Advisors

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

Following is extracted frcm 5th AF Regulations nunber 55-5 for informa- tion and guidance Of KMAG Advisors

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

Following is extracted frcm 5th AF Regulations nunber 55-5 for informa- tion and guidance Of KMAG Advisors

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

Following is extracted frcm 5th AF Regulations nunber 55-5 for informa- tion and guidance Of KMAG Advisors

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

Following is extracted frcm 5th AF Regulations nunber 55-5 for informa- tion and guidance Of KMAG Advisors

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

Following is extracted frcm 5th AF Regulations nunber 55-5 for informa- tion and guidance Of KMAG Advisors

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support

Following is extracted frcm 5th AF Regulations nunber 55-5 for informa- tion and guidance Of KMAG Advisors

sop for TACTICamp CONTROL PARTIES (TACP~

SECTICH I

Introduction

1 PWDO8e - To provide a consolidated manual of instructions defining the responsibilities and duties of Tactical Air Control Parties to prescribe operational procedures for close suppmt missions and to clarify SCUB of the problems encountered when embarking upon field duty with army unitso

2 General- The Tactical Air Control Party is an operations ccmbat team that by use of voice radio aontrols aircraft engaged in close supFt of ground forces who are in contact with the enemy Each team is attached directly to a Corps Division or regiment and acccmpanies that unit ciherever it goes This assignmentmay be changed by the nir Liaison Officer who has oprational con+ fro1 of the TACP when tactical requirements so dictate

3 Graanization- The commander 0 the TACP is the Forward Air Controller (FAC)td10 tdii be a pilot who has had ccmbat experience in close support in this theater Each team will be organizedas follows

PERSONAL EGDIPMENT

One (1) Forward Air Controller (FAC) Two (2) VRC-1 Radio Jeeps with Om (1) SCR-522and 0~ (1) SCR-191 each

Ons (1) Radio Mechanic (648) or(V54) One (1) spare 93-522

One (1) Radio Operator (766) ~4 (776) One (1) Remote system for SCR-522

one (1)personnel carrier jeep

One (1) ANTRC-7 Portable VHF radio

4 Tour of Duty - The Forward Air Controller is furnished on a rotational basis by an active combat wing and dusing his period of duty in the field he

will be on TDY cr DS to the TAC Squadron MormaXQ but not alnays he will be relieved by a pilot from his olvn group and squadron to his parent organiza- tion Airmen orew members are selected from a TACP pool of men who are perma-nently assigned to the detachment and axe rotated with the FAC

SCTION II

SOP for Tactical hir Control Parties

5 Dutieq - IbeTACP in the field will be under the operational control of the Army Air Liaison QEficer In his area of responsibility the FAC will maintain cognizance of tarpts and their priority ss detsrminedby the Mvi- sion or Corps Advise or his representative

I

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

6 amp3snonsibilitv- The FAC will determina the extent of damage dona by our aircraft and maintain a retard in the daily log This informampb will also be reported to the Air Lhaison Officer by High Frequency Radio QP telephone He will maintain a journal of daily events to include call signs of flights workiamp end times in the area results of attacks failure of ccmununicetions mmements of the TampP pertinent remarks The journal will be forwarded by him to the Director of Liaison Headquarters Fifth Air Force on Wednesdays

7 Tacticamp Procedure - a In selecting a site to operate the MRC-1 --considerationmuzs given to the limitations of the equipment The VHF radios operate on the na of sightn principle therefore in so far as prac-tical they should be iocated vhere there is least obstruction fran terrain features in crder that transmissions betxeen aircraft and controller may ob- tain maximum poss2itlc rmgrsquo3 The SC-191 opertites the high frequency band on and is not serfons3yhaRpred by terrain features howver it has very low- out and awhip an+ampnna is mery alaays nscessary to obtain range One further precaution Do not operaba the transmitter unless the engine generator is

anltteroperatingas the tram- rsquo draws high wattage and will discharge a fully charged battery in a few seconds

b When be ia Fopared to oprate the controller must keep a current list of targets marked on his map and continually evaluate them in order to advise as to their suitabiiity with reference to the weapons that he will have availableHe must constantly plan in his mind just how he will describe each target and how he will direct his aircraft aga3nst it so that when his planes report in stating their armament load and the final target selection is made his dirkctions will be prompt and as brief as clarity will permit He should anticipatethe arrival of his scheduled flights and be monitoring the repart- ing frequency Monitorjng the reporting freqlancy is very important in arder that the flight leader may obtair prompt inattuctions amphen the controller is Working a flight he sh0Qld hove his radio operator listening in on the spare equipment if available or on the AETRC-7 in order that he can inform the controller tien a flight calls in far instzucti0as The controller can switah frequencies munentarily to give a stand by or direct the flight back to the next higher controller Even when there are no targets it is impcrtant to

A mnitor the reporting net in order to be able to redirect aircraft prcanptly

c After the target has been described it will be initially located by reference to UIM Grid Coordinates As the aircraft begin their attack he must carefully scrutinize the final approach giving continuous directions with reference to prominent landmarks and if it appzars that the wrong target will be structk he must call off the attack It may be n3cessar-y in some cases to require e dry run and in many cases the mosquito aircraft must be called upon to assist in finding the target or to point the way Army Liaison type aircraft (L-5) (L-17) will not be used for controlling our planes except under very exceptional conditicns and when such cases do occur the circun-stances will be reported to the ALO who will make a report to this headquarters The Forward Air Controller must be an AI pilot thoroughly familicr with our aircraft The liaison piiots are not adapt in ovr procedures are not fami- liar with cunacnications problemsand in their enthusiasm have been known to s call aircraft aww from a vital targef to attack a less lucrative one selected by the liaison observer Homver their rcdiced advice is valuable to the army and is used extensively by them in target selection The army when re- quested will assist in marking targets by smoke and friendly troops by panela

d The reasons for being prctnpt and conampiSe are apparent when it is realized that the f3ghter particularly a jet is Limited in ehdurence He has only a short time to stay in the area before it becomes necessary to return to his base If he begins to run lov on fuel his wk becomes hasty and hapha- zard with resulting inaccuracy against the emmy Then to wasting time over the target is inefficient use of the aircraft adds extra tiring time to the Pilots flying and keeps him unnecessarily long circling at low altitude where he is a cripple for light flfik and hostile fighters Xhen it is necessary to have aircraft circle to keep the enemy pinned that type of mission will heve been requested instead of close support Our present VW-ls are equipped with the SCR-522 radio which permits 4 radio channels only for voice canmuni- cations This is an additional reason fcr stressing brevity and clear instruc- tions No unnecessary chatter should take place such as long congratulstory or abusive messages or inquiries about the boys back in the group

8 Ccmmuniceampions - Communications frequencies will be established by ^---FAF COI ---Fr The CdL will also establish call signs voice and 071 for each army unit these tail signs to be assumed by the TACP assigned

9 Maintena_nc The condition of automotive and radioequipment de- - ab termines whether a TACP can operate The automotive equinment must be well maintained (the jeep engine provides power for the radio) and ready to move immediately when the Command Post moves Field maintenance ~511 be difficult and many hours must be spent on it Ercrusted mud must be removed and vehicles washed to allow lubrication and inspection for defects The army regiments or divisions although not required to do so will assist on maintenance and repair and will supply such parts as tires spark plugs and batteries but for the most part needed supplies must be procured thru the Air Liaison Offi- cer

b Operative radio equipment is vital Mechanics must be thoroughly qualified to install the radios align frequencies change tubes trace cir- cuits and maamp other minor repairs He must have a frequency meter and other tools for performing these functions as the frequencies will nearly always go out of alignment after driving the ANVRC-1 even for a short distance Driving the jeep over roqh terrain may also cause internal damage It is therefore exceedingly important that the equiument be moved only when it is mandatory to move it and never purely for personal conveniences A small stock of spares should be kept on hand and when new sets are required the sir Liaison Officer will arrange to have this equipment brought by an L-5

10 Summary - The responsibilities of the TAG3 cannot be over-stressed The success of one mission may result in the winning of important objectives its failure mayresult in the loss of important positions and in the unnecessary loss of many lives Constant vigilance patience endurance initiative and courage are necessary to insure the successof our mission in close support
