MOTIVATION

The relatively simple fighters of previous wars that relied solely upon the gun to kill have

given way to the more sophisticated fighters of today that can employ missiles out to

several miles. Through an evolutionary process, the tactical communities have devel-

oped a two-aircraft formation and a set of tactical principles that will optimize the

section’s combat potential in the visual

combat arena.

As you begin your final ACM lesson, you must learn those tactics that support a section

member in ACM engagements. In order to effectively defeat a bandit, you must main-

tain section integrity and mutual support. All of the skills you have learned thus far in

your training will be put to critical scrutiny in the ACM environment.
