1) The document provides details of a mission for a B-1B Lancer bomber to attack a Korussian base in Comox, British Columbia that was formerly a Canadian airbase.
2) The mission involves taking off from Cold Lake, Alberta and climbing to 30,000 feet, cruising at Mach 0.7 for 800 nm, descending to 15,000 feet to drop a payload of bombs and missiles on the target, then returning immediately to Cold Lake at Mach 0.9.
3) The objective is to cripple the Korussian forces in North America and allow the retaking of more territory by the end of the year.

Figure 1: Front, side and top views of a B1-Lancer. The top view shows the B1s maximum and minimum wing sweep, as its wing sweep is variable. The wing can be swept at 5 different angles ranging from 15- 67.5 degrees. Minimum sweep is for take off, high altitude cruise and landing, while fully swept would be for supersonic and subsonic flights, such as during a bombing run. Role: Long Range Precision Bomber
Aircraft Mission Profile:
B-1B Lancer Armament: 10x 500-lb GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) 80x 500-lb MK-84 General Purpose Bombs Total: 45000 lbm
Background Story:
It is the year 2045, and the worlds population has been split into four different groups ever since Korean-Russian invasions of North American and Europe, in the year 2037. South America and Africa remain untouched, but now all of Eurasia and the west coast of North America belongs to the new world super power, a Russian- Korean Alliance, now known as Korussia. Whats left of the North American population, under the leadership of President Obama, the daughter of the late Barack Obama, has been at war with Korussia ever since the invasion and has managed to regain North American soil as far as Alberta. A forward airbase has been reconstructed at the former CFB Cold Lake in Alberta, and this is where most the air operations are being run out of. The president has made it clear that she wants to have the rest of North America under control by the end of the year, and it will be much easier to do this by attacking the enemies with force right at their main bases. Intelligence reports that the Korussians have taken over former CFB Comox, and it is their main base of operations on NA soil. If it were to be taken out, it would cripple the Korussian forces and allow us to complete the Presidents objective.
The mission:
North American F-35s have been dispatched to distract any of the Korussian air assets, in order to open up a small window for our B1-Lancers to fly into enemy airspace and destroy the enemys base in Comox. From Cold Lake each B1 with fly with a payload of 20x 2000lb Mk-84 General Purpose bombs, and your specific B1, will also be equipped with 4x 500lb GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munitions as well. You will take off from Cold Lake (1785 ft MSL) at 05h00, and climb to and altitude of 30000ft MSL. You will cruise at this altitude at Mach 0.7 for 800 nm. At this point you will begin your descent to 15000ft MSL, which will be your attack height. You have 140 nm from your descent until your drop point. Once 15000ft has been reached, reduce your speed to Mach 0.5 to drop your payload over the Korussian base in Comox. Your target is the NW corner of the base. Once overtop of the base you will drop the Mk-84 bombs on the western runway, and once the northern corner of the base has been reached, drop the 4 JDAM on the operational HQ. The return to Cold Lake will need to be made at a much quicker pace, as once the attack has begun, the Korussian fighters sent to deal with our F-35s will surely return to Comox in its defense. Once the bombs are dropped, you are to immediately return to Cold Lake. Turn around and climb to an altitude of 20000 ft MSL, as you will not have the time to climb any higher. Fly at a speed of Mach 0.9 back to Cold lake. Once at cold lake make your decent to 10000ft, and be prepared to wait in the air until you are cleared to land. Dont worry, enough reserve fuel will be given to you at take-off to account for this. Once cleared, you may land back at Cold Lake.
Launch-Climb to 30000ft, fly 800 nm at Mach 0.7 (sweep: 15 degrees) > Descend to 15000 ft, drop payload of 42000 lb at Mach 0.7 (sweep: 67.5 degrees) > Turn around and climb to 20000ft > fly at Mach 0.9 a distance of 800 nm > descend to 10000ft and await clearance (Mach 0.5) > Land when cleared
