Classified Instructions from USAF Intelligence… Confirmed reports of renewed hostile activity in the vicinity of the Balkens have compelled the Secretary of Defense to initiate immediate retaliatory and defensive action. All F-18 fighter pilots currently on active duty in the region are instructed to report directly to their commanding officers for reassignment. A series of aerial assault missions will commence within the next 48 hours. You are required to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the details of each operation as well as with these specific mission aspects: – Fully instrumented control panels – HUD for enemy targeting – Radar and landing displays for smooth navigation – Complete 360 rotation – Wing-mounted 20mm cannons – Air-to-air missiles – Electronic countermeasures – In-flight refueling – Carrier-based blue water operations. These orders countermand all others issues prior to this date. Good luck.
