Combat Wombats Pilot Briefing Document.
Ever wonder what actually happens instead of SMEAC?
Having been a ground officer I have always wondered about what Pilots actually use for a briefing. This represents my research into non classified information on what US military pilots use as a briefing format. It is all unclassified and generic to help you present better military briefings.
This project is based on my desire to find a better briefing format than SMEAC for representing Air Ops. It brings together several documents and sources to try and present an unclassified view of how to brief a mission.
I am not a military pilot. I do not officially know what I’m talking about.
If your squadron is using these out of their original format/naming, please ping me on the forums and let me know. I don’t mind but do like to keep a vague track of where my work is.
Any errors can be reported through the forums. This is a large effort to complete so I don’t pretend they are 100% accurate.
