ELECTRONIC COMBAT OFFICER EVALUATIONS

7.1. General. This chapter contains the task oriented criteria for all evaluations IAW AFI 11-202V2 and AFI 11-401. Evaluation requirements are outlined in a matrix for the Electronic Combat Officer (ECO) and instructor Electronic Combat Officer (IECO).

7.1.1. ECO qualification evaluations will be conducted on a live E-3 sortie while the examinee actively manipulates the Electronic Support Measures (ESM) to meet specific mission taskings. ECO mission evaluations may be accomplished in the simulator only if no live E-3 mission profile sorties are available.

7.2. Evaluation Objectives:

7.2.1. Qualification Evaluation. The examinee must demonstrate the ability to accomplish all required duties safely, effectively, using appropriate flight manuals, directives, and operating procedures.

7.2.2. Mission Evaluation. The examinee must demonstrate the ability to accomplish all required duties safely and effectively, using appropriate flight manuals, directives, and operating procedures to ensure successful employment and mission accomplishment IAW the evaluation matrix. Activity must demonstrate prosecution of the air and ground battle through the execution of Operations Orders (OPORDS)/Operations Plans (OPLANS)/Special Instructions (SPINS) IAW applicable directives with sufficiency to effectively manage the mission.

7.2.3. Ground Phase Requisites. The ground phase requisites are listed in paragraph 2.2.

7.3. Criteria. All areas in this section will be graded using the grading policy in AFI 11-202V2 and any criteria listed within the individual areas.

7.3.1. Area 1--Mission Planning:

7.3.1.1. Q. Conducted mission planning which accounted for known mission requirements, limitations, and approved operating procedures IAW applicable directives. Clearly defined the mission overview. Provided specific information on what needed to be done. Clearly defined mission goals and objectives. Solicited feedback to check understanding of mission requirements. Checked all factors applicable to assigned mission (e.g. ROE, ACO, SPINS, weather, LOAs, ATO, Lessons Learned, E-3 employment capabilities, and aeronautical charts). Thoroughly critiqued plans to identify potential problem areas. Checked understanding of possible contingencies. Reviewed FCIF and assessed operational impact. Coordinated an ID plan which met mission needs. Completed required mission forms. Ensured communications worksheet met needs for ESM mission accomplishment. Accomplished ESM database selection, and recommended console configurations to the MCC. Read and initialed for all items in the FCIF and read files.

7.3.1.2. Q-. Conducted mission planning with errors or omissions that did not jeopardize mission accomplishment. Checked all factors applicable to the mission (e.g. ROE, ACO, SPINS, weather, LOAs, ATO, Lessons Learned, E-3 employment capabilities, and aeronautical charts) with errors or omissions that did not jeopardize mission accomplishment. Completed required mission forms, coordinated ID plan and/or communications worksheet, accomplished ESM database selection, and/or recommended console configurations with errors or omissions that did not jeopardize mission accomplishment.

7.3.1.3. U. Conducted mission planning with errors or omissions that jeopardized mission accomplishment. Failed to comply with directives. Checked all factors applicable to the mission (e.g. ROE, ACO, SPINS, weather, LOAs, ATO, Lessons Learned, E-3 employment capabilities, and aeronautical charts) with errors or omissions that jeopardized mission accomplishment. Failed to coordinate an effective ID plan, or ID plan did not meet ESM mission needs. Did not complete required mission forms. Did not ensure communications worksheet met ESM mission needs.
