The runway at Kandahar was terrible – it was so bumpy that during takeoffs it would cause the pilots’ HUD to vibrate violently enough to make it blurry. On numerous occasions the jet exhaust from our aircraft blew big chunks out of the runway during takeoff runs. Because of the runway’s deteriorated state, I wanted to limit the number of takeoffs and landings so as to preserve the runway and to minimise the possibility of engine damage from FOD. ‘By taking off and staying airborne for five hours, our aircraft were able to cover a window that would normally be serviced by several sorties (and associated takeoffs and landings).
Our principal weapons of choice were the GBU-38 JDAM [VMA-542 became the first Harrier II unit to drop a GBU-38 JDAM in combat from a LHD class warship] and the GBU-12 LGB. One jet would carry the JDAM and the other an LGB, since the latter weapon could hit moving targets – the JDAM was a precision weapon for stationary targets. With the JDAM [which could be used in any weather conditions, unlike the fair weather LGB] you could adjust the impact angle. It also had a greater standoff capability than the LGB.
With forces moving quickly, we found that “keyhole CAS” helped pilots and FACs work well together. We would get a nine-line brief but in a different format, receiving all the target coordinates, elevation and restrictions, as well as other data. ‘The first time I saw action in Afghanistan, a Marine patrol was getting shot at and a FAC asked us to perform a show of force flyby. I was focused on doing the job right to help Marines in combat, and we kept looking around because we weren’t sure if they were shooting at us too.
