Sortie “Must Do’s”
Pilots, Observers, and Scanners need to take ownership of their sorties!
Anyone with WMIRS access can complete this task, not just Mission Staff
Take notes during the sortie to allow for swift completion of this data
Timing is critical in a real-world situation
Faster information to Planning and Operations will make the mission more effective
Accurate information allows the IC to properly determine mission goals
Training and Proficiency Flights are NOT EXEMPT from this process
Cost analysis is a critical factor in determining flight capability
Budget is always a factorSlide27
Summary
Train how you fight, and fight how you train
More details means less guesswork

When in doubt, ASK SOMEONE FOR ASSISTANCE!Slide28
