MIL FORMATION FLT ISSUED WRONG FREQ TO CONTACT APCH. ENTERS RESTRICTED AREA PRIOR TO MAKING CONTACT.

Narrative

TACTICAL LOW LEVEL AND AIR DROP TRAINING MISSION. PROBLEM AROSE ON SECOND RTE AFTER FIRST RTE AND DROP WERE ACCOMPLISHED IN RESTR AREA. ON DEP FROM PALMDALE ARPT AFTER FORMATION RECOVERY; JOSHUA APCH WAS CONTACTED ON 126.1 WITH FORMATION CALL SIGN AND INTENTIONS. NORMALLY AT THIS POINT THE FORMATION RECEIVES CLRNC TO ENTER THE RESTR AREA WHICH WILL BE PENETRATED FARTHER N OF THE RTE. JOSHUA APCH WAS VERY BUSY. WE RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS TO 'CONTACT JOSHUA APCH ON 134.1 AT CALIENTE.' I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT CLRNC BEFORE; NOR DID I KNOW WHERE CALIENTE WAS. MY COPLT WAS ON HIS SECOND DAY TACTICAL MISSION AFTER INITIAL TRAINING. THE NAVIGATOR WAS UNQUALIFIED AND WAS RECEIVING INSTRUCTION FROM A NEW INSTRUCTOR NAVIGATOR. I DO NOT CARRY A CHART; SO REALLY SHOULD NOT HAVE ACCEPTED THAT PARTICULAR CLRNC. N ON THE RTE; AT ABOUT CUDDEBACK LAKE; I ATTEMPTED CONTACT ON 134.1; WHICH WAS AN INACTIVE FREQ. THE FORMATION OF 3 ACFT CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT CONTACT AND CLBED TO NO AVAIL. FINALLY ONE OF MY WINGMAN CONTACTED 'SPORT' CTL ON 134.05; WHICH WAS THE CORRECT FREQ. WE RECEIVED CLRNC TO ENTER THE RESTR AREA AFTER WE HAD ALREADY ENTERED R- 2515. I FEEL THERE WERE MANY PROBLEMS CONTRIBUTING TO THIS INCIDENT: LACK OF APPROPRIATE COORD BTWN SPORT AND OUR TACTICS OFFICE; INEXPERIENCED CREW AND CTLRS; ISSUANCE OF AN UNFAMILIAR AND INCORRECT CLRNC BY JOSHUA APCH; AND FINALLY MY ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE THIS INCORRECT CLRNC WHILE ACCOMPLISHING CHKLISTS; REJOINING A FORMATION FO 3 ACFT AND TRAINING INEXPERIENCED CREW MEMBERS SIMULTANEOUSLY.
