What means QRC? (F-111 Aardvark)

[Speedy]

Hi
Recently I found on Google Books a part of F-111 Pilot's Flight Manual. http://tinyurl.com/apm4wou For me especially interesting is a page 5-12: the table shows external stores and weapons load configuration. In some rows there's a "QRC" note. What does it mean?

I think that it stands for Quick Reaction Capability and are electronic counter measures wing mounted
hopefully someone will confirm or correct me on this

All good, Spotter !
It's effectively Quick Reaction Capability. Follow this link :

That's absolutely not my cup of tea, but that's apparently a part of the designation of counter-measures pods.

Fascinating airplane. First introduced into the Air War over Vietnam in 1968, IIRC. Didn't have a very good record in combat due to losses of the mechanical type. Then reintroduced into the war again in the early 1970s as a part of Linebacker II ops. It did allot of work over Laos on the Trail interdicting everything. Love that plane.
