(pg 20-25,"Getting Dirty,The Close Air Support Battle in Iraq, 2003")

"...at the start of the conflict, most requests for CAS were submitted 'open-ended' - that is, without an aircraft type specified. After the first week of the conflict, however, 80 to 90% of the requests asking for specific aircraft types asked for the A10."
