Project Coningham Keyes Milestones
• Op Granby/Ex SAIF SAREEA 2/Op TELIC Air-Land interoperability was not good
• Mid 02 – 1Gp supported BATUS• Jul 03 – First PC-K Policy Group Meeting• 02/3 DOC Offensive Air Audit. Confirmed
shortcomings in Air’s ability to support Land/Maritime component.
• 2007 – PC-K concludes, CK2 Starts• Mar 10 – CK2 Concludes, Institutionalising
ALI commences

Op Blenheim LessonsOp Blenheim Lessons
• 100% coverage by Tornado GR4 for 45 hours.
• Air Fuel Tanker availability:– Bespoke 216 Sqn Tristar extra fuel.– GR4 refuelling at Basra.
– SH sorties fully integrated into plan • Presence and speed of Air = flexibility.• No UK Casualties!• Enabled by forward leaning individuals from
Land and Air Components & a JOINT PLAN

Op OQAB TSUKA – Turbine Move
• Shaping Operations– ISR– Tac AT
• Decisive Operations– STRIKE – CAS– Avn – Electronic Attack– ARTY

Op OQAB TSUKA – Lessons
• Early Joint/Combined Planning– Ensures air capabilities are exploited
• Air for flank protection:– DETER– INFORM
• Flexibility of Air Platforms• Avn for intimate support:
– Convoy– SH resupply
• ISTAR 24 hour coverage

Final Thought
• We can consider ALI to be institutionalised when we no longer refer to an interface, rather to seamless output that marbles capability across all environmental domains, from the lowest tactical to the highest strategic levels and into a single symbiotic effect.
Or when it just happens

Enduring Principles Survive
• Robust integrated Joint C2 from Tactical through to Theatre level.
• Greater focus on non-Kinetic Approach.• Increased exploitation of the DIGITAL arena.• Common Joint Education and Training.• Increase role and utility of ISTAR in
