Aviation pilots in the 9th Assault Corps are critical to mission success, operating both LAATs and fixed-wing aircraft with precision and bravery. These skilled individuals provide essential support from the skies, ensuring ground forces can carry out their objectives effectively and efficiently.
Low Altitude Assault Transports (LAATs) are the backbone of troop mobility. LAAT pilots:
Transport Troops: Deliver squads quickly and safely to battle zones or extraction points.
Provide Air Support: Utilize onboard weaponry to suppress enemy forces and protect ground units.
Evac Operations: Execute medevac missions to retrieve injured troops under fire.
LAAT pilots excel in high-stakes, close-quarters scenarios, ensuring seamless coordination between ground and air forces.
Fixed-wing aircraft pilots provide superior speed and firepower, taking on roles that include:
Air-to-Ground Strikes: Neutralize enemy strongholds and vehicles with precision bombing runs.
Air Superiority: Dominate the skies by intercepting and eliminating enemy air threats.
Recon Missions: Gather intelligence and relay critical information to ground forces.
These pilots operate at high altitudes, combining agility with heavy-hitting capabilities to maintain control of the aerial battlefield.
Aviation pilots are the unsung heroes of every operation, ensuring the Corps remains mobile, supported, and ready for anything. Join this elite group and experience the thrill of commanding the skies!
Within the 9th Assault Corps, RTO's are an elite group of aviation specialists who play a vital role in coordinating air support and ensuring precision strikes on the battlefield. These troopers are the link between ground forces and air assets, expertly directing close air support to eliminate enemy threats while minimizing collateral damage.
RTOs are responsible for:
Air-to-Ground Coordination: Communicating with pilots and directing airstrikes to ensure precision targeting and effective strikes against enemy positions.
Target Identification: Marking and identifying targets for airstrikes, ensuring that every strike is accurate and aligns with mission objectives.
Situational Awareness: Providing real-time updates to both air and ground forces to maintain battlefield awareness and adjust tactics accordingly.
Combat Support: Acting as forward observers during complex missions, working closely with ground forces to call in air support when needed.
RTOs undergo advanced training in both aviation tactics and ground combat, making them experts in the integration of air and ground operations. They are trained to work under pressure, adapting to fast-changing situations and ensuring airstrikes are executed with pinpoint accuracy.
RTOs are equipped with a unique set of tools to facilitate their role:
Tactical Radios and Communication Systems: For seamless communication with both ground forces and air assets.
Laser Designators and Targeting Systems: To mark targets for airstrikes and guide precision munitions to their destination.
Advanced Recon Equipment: For gathering intelligence and providing updates to both the command and air units in real-time.
Being a RTO in the 9th Assault Corps means you are at the heart of coordinating the most powerful form of support in modern warfare – air superiority. RTOs ensure that every airstrike hits its mark and that ground troops receive the firepower they need to succeed.
If you’re ready to be the vital link between air and ground operations, directing high-stakes missions, and calling in the firepower to turn the tide of battle, the RTO role is for you. Join the 9th Assault Corps and take charge of the skies!
