For the last time: CCA is NOT CAS!

I’ve reached that moment. You know? THAT moment. The moment when you’re trying to justify your argument or get your point across about something and you’re not sure that anyone who really matters is actually paying any attention to you. Rather than continuing to beat my head against a wall, I’m considering the low-brow route, combining the two things that have come to define my life at the moment: Army Aviation Doctrine and fancy shoes.
I give you my manifesto to the Maneuver Center of Excellence in Fort Benning, GA, and the Fires Center of Excellence in Fort Sill, OK.

Dear Maneuver and Fires Centers,
Please understand that I’ve been harping about this CAS vs. CCA thing for quite some time now, and I grow tired of trying to explain the difference to you, only to have you blow me off again… and again… and again! At this point, I will do anything to get you to stop referring to the Close Combat Attack as "Close Air Support" because you’re ruining it for everyone who flies helicopters with real guns on them.  Please see the enclosed diagram for demonstration of my point, so that you’ll finally get it right.
Big Licky Love,
Doctrinatrix
