Section Maneuvering Fundamentals Manual

Fighters rarely employ as a single aircraft. Fighters will typically employ in section, division and as a part of a larger Strike package or Defensive Counter Air package containing multiple elements. Fighters throughout history have proven the benefits of having a Wingman in combat. Two aircraft, working together, are more powerful and capable than one, whether their mission is Forward Air Control (Airborne) or a Fighter Sweep. The fighter’s in section or division work together to achieve and maintain tactical situational awareness and to achieve air superiority.

This manual will discuss planning and employment considerations for two aircraft in the air-to-air environment. How a section employs in a known 2v2 scenario is not different from how the same section will employ in a multi-group environment in 2vX.

Creating these manuals and guides are a labor of love and passion, but it doesn’t happen in a vacuum.  It takes a lot of time, patience and research and support from many people around me.  If you enjoy these manuals and they help you, they’ve accomplished exactly what they are designed to do. The Documents are free and always will be. You can put $0 and you will still get the document. But, if you feel like paying it forward and want to help me keep making these manuals and guides, it always appreciated but is not required.
