6.1    Overview.

Although several definitions of SAT exist throughout the CAF, for the purposes of this chapter, SAT will be the bridge between BSA sorties and close air support (CAS). This mirrors the A-10 community’s use of the acronym and purpose of the sortie. SAT is the first time you will be asked to find the bombing/strafing wire without the use of ground references like base distance and AOD. Additionally, you will be introduced to the TACS, two-ship attack profiles and geometry, and mutual support contracts, both from medium and low altitude.
