The Sortie Cycle
1. Label a slippery, put it in the red binder.
2. Add the 104 & assignment, release sortie.
3. Add message slips, Post-Its, everything else.
4. Debrief, add 104a or 104b, other info.
5. Move slippery to gray binder.

Handling The Tasking Sheets
• “Bernie’s System*” Have only one copy of each sheet. Keep all tasks together as “available.” Move a sheet to sortie slippery as they are assigned. (SAREX) Move briefing sheet back to “available”
after debrief.
• Identify SAREX scenarios as A, B, C … and not with numbers that could be confused with sortie numbers.
