Exercise Desert Hawks 2016 [Semi-Open|MT|OOC]

#LetHatayDebate.

But really. I want to see the threatening passive-aggressive comments that the Hatayan representatives get from the others.

Or maybe this could not be turned into another SACTO vs IFC or somebody thread, IC or OOC? Some of us don't care about all that political BS. I trust Riysa to reject who he feels would bring the unnecessary drama and drag down the RP.

I think he meant IC history between Hatay & Riysa / few other SACTO members, which, firmly speaking, wasn't most positive.

Also, shouldn't BLUFOR have some commander designated to preside over planing? If that is the case I propose Organized States.

What I was going to do was write basic briefings for BLUFOR pointing out what needed to be done, and then let you guys work out the details. Whatever you guys pick, however, do remember to coordinate between yourselves - you are one team, after all.

[Hatay]

I have never and never will engage in OOC rancor with other NationStaters, and it is somewhat hurtful to hear others insinuate that I would do so. I just intend to act as a Non-SACTO observer.

And all I intended was that my characters were going to be pretty salty towards the Hatayans.

Looking forward to it.

[Neu Engollon]

Alright, sounds good. As long as it's all IC, but why would observers even be invited or accepted into the country who had such animosity towards Riysa and their allies?

Nation Name: The Kingdom of Sareva
Participating Branch Name: Kingdom of Sareva Air Force - Foreign Training Command
Attendees:

Maria si Natonez
Age: 28
Height: 5' 9"
Gender: Female
Rank: Lieutenant Major

Brief Bio:
Maria was born in Sacatan Province, a more rural and less-developed area then the rest of the nation, known for rolling hills and expansive farms. Her parents were owners of a gas station in a remote village situated along the Autoroute 12, which cut through the province bringing goods and finished products to the farmers, while carrying produce and yearly crops out. Her father was a former pilot with the Air Force, flying the venerable F-4J Phantom during his length of service, finally retiring in 1989, planning to take care of his daughter and two sons. During Maria's time in school, she was known to be an avid reader, but severely lacked in her mathematical skills. After receiving rigorous tutoring throughout her upper-level schooling, she went to the Air Force Academy to follow in her father's footsteps.

She excelled in both the in-class and flying settings, regularly out-performing the majority of the other candidates. During her training, however, her oldest brother died while serving in Afghanistan with the Air Force primary special operations forces, the Black Bats. Her performance sharply fell, nearly having herself disqualified in a mandatory fitness exercise. After an instructor gave Maria a pep-talk, she renewed her efforts, finishing in the top ten percent, as well as being recommended for an immediate promotion and given the opportunity in the prestigious Foreign Training Command. This outcome had Maria finding herself being stationed at bases around the world with Sarevan partners, such as the United States and Germany. Lieutenant Major si Natonez is currently stationed at the Joint Flight Training Center, located at Carlton Joint Air Base.

I don't have an image I could use at the moment. I will look for a suitable one later.

Before I forget, all accepted. I'm currently working on a pre-IC briefing, which I'll let everyone know about.

It would be nice, though, to get one more person on board, so we can make it an even 10.

[Riysa]

I've gotten the preliminary ORBAT up for OpFor. TaH-27s will roughly correspond to MiG-29s, and TaH-30s to MiG-31s, with certain exceptions I'll note in the remainder of the pre-IC briefing tomorrow.

As for participants, I'm still accepting more people to come fly for the allied force. Come one, come all, to Desert Hawks 2016!

Welcome again, Birt.

[Neu Engollon]

Not that I'd be able to join much depending on the times everyone is on, but for team planning purposes, maybe we could all get on an IRC channel (#deserthawks ?) or google doc or something?

[Hatay]

Am I in?

[The United Remnants of America]

Am I in?

I'd guess probs not. Hatayans would probably not be welcome in this exercise. It'd be a shame for one of them to have an accident.

Ouch.

I agree. I'll set up an Esper IRC and link it here for everyone to use.

Considering the IC relations between our countries, unfortunately not, Hatay.

I'd like to accept you, but I noticed that you're using Pharthan stuff, which unfortunately falls into the PMT category, so I can't accept that.

[Riysa]

Alright, I've set up an IRC for everyone to use; please use your NS name when logging on. I've also gotten the pre-IC briefing up, while I'll generate the people on quick reaction alert and such tomorrow morning.

If everything's set, I'll send out a mass TG tomorrow morning as well, and we'll be ready to go!

The airspace local airspace is trafficked by commercial and private aircraft. While this would disappear in the event of a war, initial planning must take this into account.

I'm slightly confused. Are civilian/private aircraft not being rerouted out of the area of operations for the exercise?

The briefing is written in an IC fashion. Civvie aircraft will not actually be entering the airspace around or in the exercise; instead, aircraft with corner reflectors will be flying sometimes to represent non-combatant traffic.

What exactly are you not accepting, I think stealth fighters are perfectly acceptable, the only thing I could think of is the unmanned fighter craft, which is no big deal I can change.

[Aquitayne]

Pharthan's stuff as a whole is largely PMT. I can't speak for Riysa on this but I think he was implying that Pharthan's goods are a no-go entirely, rather than just the obvious PMT unmanned fighter aircraft. But again he'll have to clarify that for you. He asked my why I didn't bring in my F-29's, so I don't think he has any issues with stealth aircraft.

Yeah I'll just wait and see

Exactly. Pharthan stuff is pretty firmly PMT, which since this is an MT RP, wouldn't work. If I had an issue with stealth aircraft, I would've mentioned it in the OP, and would have not accepted Kobolis or New Aeyariss.

IC up in a few hours. Final call.
