A. Exercise purpose
LESSON NOTES
Point out that the loose deuce exercise is an artificial exercise that does not
present a completely realistic representation of loose deuce maneuvering,
but applies concepts and develops skills--i.e., 1) energy maintenance, 2)
lead, lag, and pure pursuit tactics, 3) engaged voice comm, and 4) fighter
roles in a coordinated effort to engage bandit.
