CAS Checklist

[Captain Barrett]

Folks,

Based on a request by Pitspitr, I have posted my CAS Checklist...

Great checklist
Nice to see another Infantry Guy out there.
Kinda overrun with Cav and Arty types.

Was reading something interesting the other day.  On long campaigns the infantry could go farther faster than the cav.

Thank you Col.!

UBIQUE  (everywhere!)  The guns are our Colours and neither Infantry nor Cavalry get far without Artillery, once in contact with the enemy.

Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl

Great check list.  I have one, but not nearly as detailed.  I have downloaded to see how I can best improve the list I use, for both regular weekend matches and the out-of-town travel matches.  Thanks for posting.

Though I dress as a cavalry officer, detailed to the Ordnance Dept., I probably should be a red leg. But the Air Force didn't distinguish branches by colors.  I don't know about regular artillery lending dignity to a vulgar brawl, but the type of "artillery" I dealt with back in the late '60's wouldn't have lent much dignity to the world scene...just up to 1,000 glowing holes in the enemy's backyards, front yards, and whereever the "rounds" landed.    Of course, we never knew what the targets were or where, just a set of launch azimuths to be set into the guidance systems. Didn't really want to know, either.  To this day, we don't know whether the other side was afraid of us...or just didn't feel like it during the Cold War. Now, all we have to worry about is those who don't care about their own physical survival! Those folks are harder to deter.

Flying REDLEGS;

In March 1974 I visited both Ft Sill and Ft. Bliss.  We were introduced to the helicopter gunship brigade.  The Colonel speaking pulled up the cuff of his field uniform to show that he was wearing red socks.  He was maintaining the "redleg" tradition!
