What code is associated with the SWEP mission type?

The code associated with the SWEP mission type is "Fighter Sweep." This mission type involves fighter aircraft conducting operations to seek out and engage enemy air forces in order to gain air superiority. The primary objective of a Fighter Sweep is to deny the enemy the use of their aircraft while also providing protection for friendly forces and operations in the area.

In a Fighter Sweep, the aircraft are tasked with offensive operations, which typically include patrols over a designated area, seeking out and engaging enemy fighters before they can affect the outcome of friendly operations. This proactive engagement strategy is crucial in shaping the air battlefield and maintaining control of the airspace.

Other mission types do not accurately represent the focus or objectives of a Fighter Sweep. For example, Strategic Attack focuses more on attacking an enemy’s strategic assets, while Escort missions are more about providing protection to other aircraft rather than seeking enemy fighters directly. Defensive Counterair, on the other hand, is primarily concerned with protecting friendly forces from enemy air attacks, which contrasts with the offensive nature of a Fighter Sweep.
