Modules should be fitted for the correct target before undocking. Each AMC {{co|wheat|Griffin}} comes with four of each type of racial ECM module – enough to fill four of the five midslots on the {{co|wheat|Griffin}} and give the best chance of a successful rescue.

==~~The art of Search & Rescue~~==

==Operations==

~~OK, so we understand what ECM is. We know what Drones and ships do and we have trained to use them. What Now? How & When do we use the ECM skills we have trained. When do we use the AMC Griffin?~~

===Using the Griffin===

A typical scenario ~~for the use of the AMC Griffin is described below.~~

Here is a typical search and rescue scenario:

*A corpmate broadcasts either over Mumble or in the Fleet or AMC OPS ~~Channel~~ that he is under attack and has been tackled.

*A corpmate broadcasts either over [[Mumble]] or in the Fleet or AMC OPS channel that he is under attack and has been tackled.

**Before you leap into action, you need to gather some intelligence on the situation at hand.

**Before you leap into action, you need to gather some intelligence on the situation at hand:

***Where is the Corpmate? In your system? The next system? How long will it take you to get to them?

***The number and racial type(s) of ship(s) attacking them.

***How many Search & Rescue Pilots are available to assist?

All of this information will allow you to determine if a rescue attempt is sensible or even possible. For example, if there are many ships attacking your corpmate and he is several jumps away, chances are you will never get to him in time. Even if you are close or in the same system, would rescue be possible? How many enemy ships are there Vs. how many available AMC S&R pilots willing to engage. Even 1 to 1 is an extreme risk. If there is a reasonable chance that by attempting a rescue you will be giving the enemy 2 killmails instead of just one, ''~~'DO NOT'~~'' attempt a rescue.

Even if you are close or in the same system, would rescue be possible? How many enemy ships are there vs. how many available AMC S&R pilots willing to engage? Even 1 to 1 is an extreme risk if there are many enemies, as the AMC Griffin lacks offensive capabilities. If there is a reasonable chance that by attempting a rescue you will be giving the enemy two killmails instead of just one, ''do not'' attempt a rescue.

{{note box|Rescues should only be attempted if there is a reasonable chance of success.}}

Ok, ~~lets~~ assume that the attack is being carried out by a single ~~Enemy War Target~~. There are 2 S&R pilots available and the rescue will be in the current system. You decide to go ahead and attempt a rescue.

To continue the above scenario, assume that the attack is being carried out by a single war target. There are two S&R pilots available and the rescue will be in the current system. You decide to go ahead and attempt a rescue.

*Warp to the station in system that contains your AMC Griffin. On the way do the following.

*Warp to the station in system that contains your AMC Griffin. On the way, do the following:

**Ensure you are ~~fleeted~~ with the ship under attack.

**Ensure you are in fleet with the ship under attack.

**Double check which racial ~~Jammers~~ you need to fit to combat the attacker.

**Double check which racial ECM modules you need to fit to combat the attacker.

**~~Co-ordinate~~ with the other S&R ~~Pilot~~(s) to ensure you arrive at the attack at approximately the same time.

**Coordinate with the other S&R pilot(s) to ensure you arrive at the attack at approximately the same time.

**Ensure you have your safe spot location close to hand and ready to click.

*Dock, ~~Fit and~~ get into your AMC Griffin and undock.

*Dock, get into your AMC Griffin, fit it, and undock.

**Right click the name of the corpmate under attack in your fleet window. This will allow you to ~~Warp~~ to his location

**Right click the name of the corpmate under attack in your fleet window. This will allow you to warp to his location.

**~~'''DO NOT'''~~ Warp to his location within ~~0KM!!~~

**Warp to his location within your jammers' range. This will depend on certain skills you have trained. ''Do not warp to 0.''

**Warp to his location within whatever the range of your jammers ~~are~~. This will depend on certain skills you have trained.

**''Always'' fight on the very edge of the range of your jammers. This gives you the best chance of keep your ship out of danger.

**~~ALWAYS~~ fight on the very edge of the ~~functional~~ range of your jammers. This gives you the best chance of keep ~~YOUR~~ ship out of ~~harms way~~.

*When you arrive on the scene, target the attacking ship.

**Once you have locked on, ~~begin to jam~~.

**Once you have locked on, activate your ECM modules.

**Align to ~~your place of safety~~.

**Align to a [[safe spot]] or to another, safer location.

**Wait for a successful ~~Jam~~.

**Wait for a successful jam.

**When you have successfully jammed your target, you will see a gray circle surrounding the jammer that acquired the jam (shown below the locked ship). Hovering over this will tell you how long until the jam ends. The circle will slowly disappear as the jam ticks down. See the image below.

** As soon as you have jammed successfully, warp to ~~your place of safety~~.

** As soon as you have jammed successfully, warp to a safer location.

**''~~'DO NOT'~~'' wait for the corpmate who was under attack to get clear. Assume he will do his job, you have done yours.

**''Do not'' wait for the corpmate who was under attack to get clear. Assume he will do his job, you have done yours.

**Wait at your place of safety for any timers you may have triggered to reduce to zero, or for the ~~Enemy Target~~ to leave the system.

**Wait at your place of safety for any timers you may have triggered to reduce to zero, or for the hostile pilot to leave the system.

**Dock up and wait ''~~'AT LEAST'~~'' 20 minutes before you or any of your corpmates venture back out into space.

**Dock up and wait ''at least'' 20 minutes before you or any of your corpmates venture back out into space.

**If the aggressor or any ~~War Targets~~ return to the system with 20 minutes, start the 20 minute timer again.

**If the aggressor or any war targets return to the system with 20 minutes, start the 20 minute timer again.

~~{{note box|EVE University Warsop states that you must wait 20 minutes of enemy inaction before you return to space.}}~~

===What if it all goes wrong?===

~~Simply put~~ it shouldn't. If you follow the rules above you should be fine. However, things change in combat all of the time. If anything changes ''~~'EVEN SLIGHTLY'~~'' to affect the pattern of the engagement you should warp to your place of safety immediately. This could include;

In general, it shouldn't. If you follow the rules above, you should be fine. However, things change in combat all of the time. If anything changes ''even slightly'' to affect the pattern of the engagement you should warp to your place of safety immediately. This could include:

*Repeatedly failing to jam

*''~~'ANY'~~'' additional targets entering the system

*''Any'' additional targets entering the system

*The ~~corpmates Tank~~ begins to fail

*The corpmate's tank begins to fail

*The corpmate under attack panics and starts behaving in an erratic manner.
