Radio Reports and Returns

[SupersonicMax]

9 Liner is only for use when working with the US, CASEVAC is for our own forces.

We're winding down in the shytebox....might as well get used to using our own stuff again.

Till the next time we do combined ops...  And we have to re-learn the US way. Why not keep the knowledge, especially for something like this that we know we will use in future ops?

Working with US forces ends with the sandbox ?

Must be a Canadian Army thing.

Let's just say that not too many guys know how to use our own reports and returns. I will admit that I am one that is rather rusty on using CASEVAC vice the 9 liner.

That being said, I will be passing on 9 Liners to students for the forseeable future as I will with my own troops.

Wow....twist my words some more.          :

9Liner was only previlant after 2006 and US airlift/ KAF's Role 3 was being used. Before that it was CASEVAC. That being said, through lessons learned, 9 Liner was pushed hard to the troops on the ground to the point that CASEVAC was literally thrown out on my TCCC in 2007. We were told that "You will never use it in theater" due to the translation issues to get the birds in the air and the possibilities of getting things mixed up at the Role 3.

Before Kandahar we used CASEVAC, even in Bosnia.

Yes i know.

But as i said before, not every 9-liner is about evacuating casualties.

I'm quite confident that the CAS 9-line will continue to be used by just about everyone.

...and troops will be brought up to speed if and when they need them.

Then again, METHANE was apparently the be-all-end-all report and that's gone too.

NATO's adopted the 9-liner as their go-to request for medevac. If we had our own birds with medevac capability deployed, I'd say sure, lets keep both. But why would we bother keeping an out-dated report when whenever we deploy we're going to have to use the 9-liner anyways?

There's the question for your leadership.
