What type of information does Line 9 of the 9-Line CAS Brief provide?

Line 9 of the 9-Line Close Air Support (CAS) Brief provides information on the egress route for the aircraft after they have completed their attack. This is crucial for ensuring that aircraft can exit the area safely while avoiding both enemy fire and friendly forces. It helps coordinate the movement of aircraft and ground troops, minimizing the risk of engagement with friendly forces during exit.

In the context of the other options, while target location, ingress, and friendly forces are all important components of the 9-Line CAS Brief, they pertain to different aspects of operational coordination. Target location refers to where the target is situated; ingress details the route the aircraft takes to approach the target; and information on friendly forces ensures that the aircraft are aware of the positions of their own troops to prevent fratricide. However, Line 9 specifically addresses the egress aspect, making it critical for the safe withdrawal of the aircraft post-engagement.
