Hi everyone! Can someone tell me what the following abbreviations mean? CAS PAS SHORAD Thank you so much in advance!

HalfLifeExpert -> RE: Abbreviations (1/15/2022 8:26:55 PM)
CAS = Close Air Support SHORAD= SHOrt Range Air Defense PAS, I don't know for sure, what's the context?

Thank you! I am getting ready to play Kashimir's Chaos scenario. The briefing makes much more sense now. Regarding the PAS, it was a mistake. I meant to write PAF which I assume means Pakistan Airforce, but I am not sure. Also, would you happen to know what DCA means? Sorry for being a pain, but I have never been good with abbreviations.

DCA = Defensive Counter Air

quote: DCA = Defensive Counter Air And you will probably trip on OCA as well - Offensive Counter Air (Fighter sweeps and striking at their bases before the bad guys can come up to bother you. DCA is generally CAP (Combat Air Patrol) and intercepts)
