FROM: JFC SHAPE TO: ALL FORCES PERSIAN GULF AO SUBJECT: ROE CHANGE 1. IF ANY IRANIAN AIR DEFENSE UNITS FIRE ON YOU WHILE YOU ARE IN INTERNATIONAL AIRSPACE YOU WILL CALL ANY SEAD ASSETS IN THE AREA AND TAKE OUT THAT EMPLACEMENT. DO NOT VIOLATE IRANIAN AIRSPACE. 2. YOU WILL ESCORT ANY CIVILIAN IRANIAN AIRCRAFT OUT OF INTERNATIONAL AIR SPACE FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY. DO NOT VIOLATE IRANIAN AIRSPACE. 3. IF ANY IRANIAN MILITARY AIRCRAFT FIRE ON YOU WHILE YOU ARE IN INTERNATIONAL AIRSPACE, YOU MAY RETURN FIRE. DO NOT VIOLATE IRANIAN AIRSPACE. 4. ANY IRANIAN RECON AIRCRAFT LEAVE THAT INTERNATIONAL AIRSPACE AND ARE IN YOUR AO, FORCE THEM TO LAND AT THE NEAREST COALITION AIRBASE FOR IMPOUDING OF THEIR AIRCRAFT. DO WHAT YOU CAN TO WARN THEM FIRST, THEN TAKE ACTION. IF THEY FAIL TO COMPLY, USE OF DEADLY FORCE IS AUTHORIZED. THE UN COUNSEL HAS SANCTIONED THESE ACTIONS. THESE MAY NOT BE THE GREATEST ROE'S, HOWEVER WE DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE BOTH HANDS TIED BEHIND OUR BACKS EITHER. WING COMMANDERS USE YOUR BEST JUDGEMENT TO PROTECT CIVILIAN LIVES. HOWEVER DO NOT VIOLATE THE ABOVE ROE'S. ALL UNITS AKNOWLEDGE ROE CHANGE. -END-

Very old indeed, but very funny. "--Command Post: What chicken?" Yep that is true...... "Why did the chicken cross the road?' "'To get to the other side. But he stepped out of rank, got hit by a tank and he ain't no chicken no more."

Good stuff everyone keep them coming.

Kuwait and Iraq are just providing the bases along with Saudi Arabia...

SITREP FROM SACEUR TO: ALL FORCES IN AO FROM: JFC SHAPE STILL NO WORD ON UN NEGOTIATIONS WITH IRAN. IRAN HAS PLACED 2 TANK DIVISIONS NEAR THE IRAQ BORDER. WITH 3 MORE IN ROUTE. WILL NEED RECCE TO DETERMINE TYPE OF ARMOR AND APPROX NUMBERS. THE RECCE FLIGHT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED 2 SEAD AIRCRAFT AND 2 FIGHTER ESCORT. AWACS WILL PROVIDE AIR PICTURE. THIS WILL BE A NIGHT OP. THE RAF C2 AT RAS ASSANYA AFB WILL DETERMINE WHAT UNITS WILL BE USED. WEAPONS TIGHT ROE UNLESS ENGAGED. REMEMBER WE WANT IRAN TO START THIS AND WE WILL END IT. HOPEFULLY WITHOUT A NUCLEAR CONCLUSION. STAY FROSTY TROOPS. GEN R. ROWLAND SACEUR, HQ JFC -END-
