Some of the most important assets for US During Operation Iraqi Freedom were  FAC(A). Fixed targets were scarce and the key was finding and identifying any  Iraqi ground targets. The US Marine Corps utilized the two seat F/A-18 D for that role with a dedicated WSO in the back seat whose primary role was to find targets. In DCS we do not have a F/A-18D so the F/A-18C will fill that role. The hornets would take off and scan a specific region or area using any and all sensors onboard to try and locate even the smallest targets to call in. Sometimes the WSO had binoculars!

I added a helmet that is similar to one a pilot had that I knew in the unit back in the early 90's.  Likewise, I have the hornet hawk patch on the right arm and the coyote brown American Flag on the left arm.  Lastly, I added desert MARPAT material to the helmet lens cover.
