Pros:

• Good teamwork, Good vehicle movements, lots of comms with the fireteams
• The defense was really cool at the end
• IEDs are funny
• Everyone enjoyed the Op and we thought it was well made
• We enjoyed the low intensity of the operation which resulted in additional scenarios like our squad getting ambushed on their way back from our first OBJ

Cons:

• Civilians kept running in front of our vehicles
• MI-60 with the rocket pods caused a massive frame drop during the defense phase
• The use of OpFor vics shouldn't be happening and it results in glitches that break immersion
• Lack of time to do ACE reports and didn't really get to do mutual support with the other squads often

AFTER ACTION REVIEW
Prepared by: Gunslinger 6

1. ACCOUNTABILITY
Roll call conducted — all elements accounted for

2. SUSTAIN / IMPROVE BY ELEMENT

GM
Issues with Zeus mic throughout the op
Helios mines were Zeus-induced (not organic to scenario)
Contact was intended to be light; escalated heavier than planned
Good reaction to IDF noted

Gunslinger 7
Identified teaching opportunities for the group
Proper setting of CCP needs reinforcement

Gunslinger 6 (self)
Good communication maintained between self and all squads
Constant SITREPs kept elements accounted for despite wide dispersion
Squads kept 6 informed of actions, positions, and movements throughout

Gunslinger 5
Supported 3 and Sparrow for most of the operation
Tempo was slow but deliberate

Gunslinger 3
No major negatives
Squad is small — needs more bodies

Gunslinger 2
Civilians randomly ran in front of vehicles — safety concern
Mi-60 caused massive frame drops
Recommend discontinuing use of OPFOR vics
Lack of mutual support between elements
Enjoyed the slow pace of the mission

Gunslinger 1
Mixed feelings — operation felt spread out/disorganized at times
Request: don't leave vehicles so far behind supported elements

Sparrow 1
Conducted ISR for most of the operation
Most communications were routed through/with Gunslinger 5

Helios 1
Conducted resupply duties, completed as tasked
Cleared mines and responded in coordination with Gunslinger 6
