True or False: An OCA mission needs to have both a sweep and escort player to be effective.

The concept of an OCA (Offensive Counter Air) mission typically revolves around achieving air superiority by attacking enemy aircraft and associated capabilities before they can pose a threat. While having both a sweep and escort function can enhance mission effectiveness, it is not an absolute requirement for an OCA mission to be successful.

A sweep player focuses on locating and engaging enemy air threats, while an escort player provides protection for friendly forces and targets. In some scenarios, an OCA mission may achieve its objectives with just a sweep, relying on the capabilities of the attacking aircraft or the current engagement environment. There may be situations where the threat level is low enough that an escort is unnecessary, or the sweep has enough support from other means (like ground-based air defense or other assets) to negate the need for an escort.

Ultimately, the success of an OCA mission can depend on various tactical considerations, including the nature of the enemy's capabilities, the types of targets being engaged, and the overall mission context. Thus, indicating that an OCA mission does not inherently require both roles to be effective is aligned with the correct response.
