More ATLANTIC THUNDER

On Wednesday, ATLANTIC THUNDER activity continued at Townsend Range. JSTARS from Robins AFB, F/A-18s from MCAS Beaufort, and AH-64s (probably from 1-151 AVN, SC ARNG) participated in the activity. JTACS VENOM, SCORPION, and HAVOC were also involved in the Close Air Support and Forward Air Control activity. Below is an updated list of frequencies and activity:

228.400 - Townsend Range Control; Fighters working JTACs
252.900 - Townsend Range Control; encrypted traffic from JSTARS and simulated activity
338.550 - Townsend Range; JSTARS wkg JTACs
388.225 - JSTARS Discrete; JSTARS wkg Fighters
225.725 - JSTARS Discrete; JSTARS interplane
341.750 - JSTARS Discrete; JSTARS simulated activity
376.125 - JSTARS Discrete; JSTARS interplane, encrypted traffic
355.250 - JSTARS Discrete; JSTARS simulated activity
381.000 - JSTARS Discrete; JSTARS simulated activity
372.150 - JSTARS Discrete; encrypted traffic
364.200 - AICC; JSTARS link coordination

ATLANTIC THUNDER Exercise

STRIKESTAR (JSTARS) and WINDER 21 (F/A-18C, VFA-86) have been up working in the Townsend Range area this morning. STRIKESTAR has referred to the activity as ATLANTIC THUNDER while coordinating activity with Townsend Range.

228.400 STRIKESTAR, WINDER 21, VENOM
338.550 STRIKESTAR wkg VENOM
388.225 WINDER 21 wkg STRIKESTAR, check in/out and mission report
