Todays NOTAMs, Dynamic Air Support at Ivo Cluck Hill.
Sounds very exciting, but its a Notam, what are Airmen being warned about?
Intense helicopter activity operating at all levels ..

DYNAMIC AIR SUPPORT WILL TAKE PLACE WI 3NM RADIUS OF 545800N 0034800W (IVO CLUCK HILL) AS PART OF EXERCISE JOINT WARRIOR 151.
Standard exercise stuff about aircraft not being able to comply with rules of the air as far as I can see, in the vicinity of Cluck Hill.
As for the term Dynamic Air Support - some JHC staff officer probably got promoted for inventing that one:ok:

500, I know about the exercise. It's the term DAS that gets me!!
Management speak for flying???
Management speak for flying??? yup! Since CAS would imply FJ air to ground stuff, I guess that DAS is the helicopter equivalent, probably AH64.
Staff-speak - same as management speak only less intelligible (if that is possible):ok:

Perhaps the Dynamic aspect is the ability to drop cargo dynamically into a field unintentionally while over flying?
