Accurate and timely support of ground forces in Afghanistan has never been so important. Integrated and coordinated close air support plays a crucial role for protecting troops and saving lives. As the threat evolves so does the CAS mission.
SMi’s Urban Close Air Support is well timed to provide you with the most up-to-date case studies from CAS operations in Afghanistan. Assess the lessons learned from missions and explore the latest requirements for FAC/JTAC simulation.
