===ROE Summary===
+
<u>Self-defense</u></br>
 +
No ROE shall negate a commander’s right to take all necessary actions for unit and individual self-defense. Self-defense is the use of necessary and proportional force, including deadly force, to defend against an attack or an imminent attack. The following definition apply:
 +
:- “Necessary” means the use of force is indispensable for securing self-defense.
 +
:- “Proportional” means a response commensurate with the perceived level of threat posed.
 +
:- “Imminent” means that the need to defend is manifest, instant and overwhelming.
 +
:- “Attack” is use of force against forces and personnel
  
==RISK ESTIMATE DISTANCES==
+
<u>Hostile intent</u></br>
 +
Is a likely and identifiable threat recognizable on the basis of both the following conditions:
 +
:- Capability and preparedness of individuals and/or groups of personnel/units which pose a threat to inflict damage
 +
:- Evidence/intelligence which indicates an intention to attack or otherwise inflict damage. These may include maneuvering into weapon launch position and non-tactical events such as indications of mobilization.
  
==COLLATERAL DAMAGE ESTIMATION==
+
<u>Hostile acts</u></br>
 +
Include but are not limited to:
 +
:- Imposing restrictions upon the movements of forces through mine laying operations.
 +
:- Military aircraft penetrating restricted airspace refusing to comply to interception instructions.
 +
:- Breaching/attempting to breach restricted area.
 +
 
 +
<u>Show of Presence</u></br>
 +
SoP is a mission flown to reassure friendly forces and civilians, achieved through visible and audible presence at altitude above 5000 ft AGL.
 +
 
 +
<u>Show of Force</u></br>
 +
SoF require supported ground commander authorization. The profile flown will normally be requested and controlled by a JTAC/FAC(A) and treated as a CAS mission (CAS-brief) limited to three subsonic aircraft passes. Use of flares is permitted during SoF for self-protection.

SPINS stands for "Special Instructions". This page contains standard procedures that are valid when conducting CAS during Master Arms missions unless the organizer or mission commander explicitly states something else. The written mission briefings on the Master Arms event page often refers to the instructions on this page.

General SPINS Information

Responsibilities

All personnel conducting or involved with CAS operations with Master Arms are responsible for information in these SPINS and if applicable Weekly/Daily SPINS and Airspace Control Plan.

Use of Force

Definitions

Self-defense
No ROE shall negate a commander’s right to take all necessary actions for unit and individual self-defense. Self-defense is the use of necessary and proportional force, including deadly force, to defend against an attack or an imminent attack. The following definition apply:

- “Necessary” means the use of force is indispensable for securing self-defense.
- “Proportional” means a response commensurate with the perceived level of threat posed.
- “Imminent” means that the need to defend is manifest, instant and overwhelming.
- “Attack” is use of force against forces and personnel

Hostile intent
Is a likely and identifiable threat recognizable on the basis of both the following conditions:

- Capability and preparedness of individuals and/or groups of personnel/units which pose a threat to inflict damage
- Evidence/intelligence which indicates an intention to attack or otherwise inflict damage. These may include maneuvering into weapon launch position and non-tactical events such as indications of mobilization.

Hostile acts
Include but are not limited to:

- Imposing restrictions upon the movements of forces through mine laying operations.
- Military aircraft penetrating restricted airspace refusing to comply to interception instructions.
- Breaching/attempting to breach restricted area.

Show of Presence
SoP is a mission flown to reassure friendly forces and civilians, achieved through visible and audible presence at altitude above 5000 ft AGL.

Show of Force
SoF require supported ground commander authorization. The profile flown will normally be requested and controlled by a JTAC/FAC(A) and treated as a CAS mission (CAS-brief) limited to three subsonic aircraft passes. Use of flares is permitted during SoF for self-protection.

Helicopter Operations

Attack Helicopters

The primary attack brief for RW CAS is 9-line, In certain situations RW may have higher SA due to lower operating altitude. In these instances, the 5-line RW CAS brief is available. The 5-line is an observer-centric CAS brief typically used for BOT attacks.

Deconfliction

Height separation

When separated in height, aircraft may cross GTL. Separation must be at least 1000ft above maximum height AMSL of the fires ordnance (Max Ord).
E.g. Max Ord=6200fr AMSL, aircraft are not permitted below 7200.

Time separation

Time-check between all units involved must be carried out before using time separation. GPS time must be used for TOT.
separation between firs ordnance and aircraft TOT should be at least 30sec. (Check-fire for the battery must be given 30sec+TOF)

Lateral separation

The separation measure may be described by grid line, lat/long reference or terrain features.
E.g. “Stay east of grid line 45”or “Stay west of river”

Codeword and Authentication

Codewords

The following codewords are to be used for MA training when simulating non-secure comms.

Event Codeword
RTB MILLERTIME
OFF STN AAR STATOIL
SAM LAUNCH FLASH
SAM THREAT STABBER
ARTILLERY PUMPER
MORTAR RABBIT

RAMROD

For Lat/Long, pass NORTH/SOUTH first, then EAST/WEST in degrees, minutes and tenths of minutes. Do not say “North” or “East”. Preface all encoded information with “RAMROD”.
For MGRS, GZD and 100000m identifier are read as per routine, then 6-10 digits are encoded with RAMROD.
In time-critical situation, target coordinates may be passed in the clear.

RAMROD to be used for MA training is:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Communication Plan

General

Initial contact will be with ALO if able otherwise AWACS “Stingray” who will push aircraft to controlling JTAC on assigned net.
