Pros:

• Lots of great leadership
• Turned stressful situations into workable problems with my great leadership
• Great use of lots of callsigns and assets

Cons:

• EOD seemed to be ineffective- IEDS were going off with too big a radius.
• Civilians driving their cars in and amongst an enemy armored QRF seemed really strange and we go penalized for engaging those targets.
• Radio comms were chaotic at times, need to work on brevity.

Element Callsign: INFIDEL-1
Element Leader: Sergeant Boyd.M

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Dio.B
Specialist Rodahl.S

Pros:

• Great comms with all air assets
• Really fun operation, felt real
• 6 did a great job managing a very chaotic platoon
• 3 hour operation, MOAR!
• the double Jtac worked really well, having separate JTAC for CAS and TRANSPORT comms

Cons:

• Lots of radio stepping early in the op, need to be more mindful of who is talking
• No G5, I had to step up to gun5 when 6 went down, splitting my attention between platoon lead and JTAC
• Not enough CAS attendance, no eagle, and we lost BISON for a while mid OP

Pro:

• Fair amount of tasking
• Engaging mission file
• Great crew

Con:

• Mission controllers teleporting players when transport is available. It's like full healing during an op when you have medics or deleting enemy in the middle of a fire fight. It should be avoided as much as possible.
• AI despawn based on the distance from friendly ground forces gets a little wonky to do ISR and hold orbits.
