This ex has run the last couple Years if im correct.
The FAC locations move about each Day.

I think the Mirage 2000D that used Yeovilton as fuel stop last Year ties in with this ex .

Its Early Resolve not Final :wink:

One of the normal CAS exercises with the bulk of the action over Wales, including Castlemartin on the 13th and my house on the 11th :clap: I'm told the French will be at Castlemartin as per previous exercises.

Dorset areas are Bulbarrow Hill and Hardy's Monument both allocated on 6th and 7th with the Thursday to include night flying, suspect SPTA will get some action too.

SPTA has never been involved in Early Resolve. It only takes place in Dorset and Wales/Marches

Bulbarrow Hill and Hardys Monument is where the TACP's are usually located (SF aswell).
Targets for the Bulbarrow area usually include Ibberton village and around that local area.

For Wales and the Marches, the same areas allocated to Fast Mover (which was covered in another thread a couple of weeks ago when the Swedes were here) are allocated to Early Resolve as well....
