"10. The ability,of the air effort to support land forces in periods
of darkness and inclement weather." (S)
STAG Comment. (TS) CAS maintains around the clock operations by the
effective use of flare ships in conjunction with strike aircraft and FACs.
USAF and USMC maintain night alert of both flare ships and strike aircraft
to support night operations. Weather has often hampered air activity and
in many instances land operations have been cancelled because air support
could not be delivered. There are instances where aircraft flew in extreme
weather conditions to support units under attack. Generally, CAS has not
been as responsive in bad weather as artillery.
