Pros

• Everyone had fun most of the FTX.
• There were a lot of targets to shoot at.

Cons

• The idea of having to capture assets had both pros an cons, but for a section that is focusing only on armor, it was seen as a con thing. A lot of us know why we have chosen to be tankers. Most of the time only half of the element was in armor.
• There were some communication issues, both visual and nonvisuals.
• Blue- on-blue accidents x2 from my tank crew.
• IFV was told to help infantry. Many times infantry went somewhere else after that we came to the area, which made the IFV isolated from infantry.

Pros

• Overall enjoyable FTX

Cons

• Communications issues at outset causing some delay. Though it was rectified using Discord.
• Clearer direction from higher at times would have been nice, the lack of it led to some slow movement at times. But was improving as the FTX went on.
• A lot of clustering/bunching up at certain objectives, leading to some mass cas events. To fix, leadership (myself included) etc, must do better job assigning arcs of fire for troopers or AORs for sections to maintain security/spacing when consolidating on an objective and while awaiting further orders.
• Consolidate small units (like a section of 3) into larger units if practical and space allows. Should make command and control easier for higher leadership and make sections far more combat effective.
