SF personnel cleared in AFG friendly fire incident.
| Wrong narrative for the USAF of course, but perhaps B-1 cannot simply assume the CAS role of the A-10. |
| So the B-1 was flying 'too high' to get the signals required from the ground forces. Was there a reason why the B-1 had to be that high? I'm not advocating nap-of-the-earth flying but for goodness sakes one has to be able to communicate with ground forces -- that's the whole point of CAS. |
Sounds like a USAF doctrine issue, considering the aircraft's design and original intended purpose.
