First Sergeant Summerfield.P

Specialist Lee.H
Private First Class Xinos.T
Private First Class Kiser.C

Pros:

• Fun Mission
• Good cohesion with 7CAV and public players
• Squad conducted solid assault
• Squad executed all direction quickly and accurately

Cons:

• I should have sent runners back more often, but chose not to because contact kept picking anyone separated off
• The above resulting in me moving the squad into friendly indirect fire
• Rifle grenadiers couldn't resupply
• When we conduct a mission with limited comms the unit should rally SLs again before pushing into the next phase. Alternatively we can mark commanders intent on the map

Element Callsign: Atlas
Element Leader: Corporal Dubois.F

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Staff Sergeant Lamb.J
Private First Class Ewing.R
Corporal Maco.D
Reservist Winters.Z


Pros:

• LOTS and LOTS of casualties
• Really fun and good mission
• This mission was a good Ace pharmacy practice , some of the medics had to learn the new system as the mission unfold but they got the hang of it pretty quickly
• Public players were useful and followed orders
• Good use of triage
• Troopers were giving us lots and lots of covering fire so cheers to all the squad leaders and combat troopers who made my medics a bit safer under fire
• One of the best op some of the medics had
• Communication was horrible due to the no radios scenario but we adapted and overcomed the situation

Cons:

• Practically no runners for medical requests so the medics were seeking out the injured troopers
• Some squad leaders were pushing forward too quickly leaving no time to treat their wounded

Element Callsign: PSG 2-5-5
Element Leader: Sergeant Boyd.M

Pros:

• Super Fun - one of the best OPs I've been to
• Great amount of contacts
• Squads performed well given the circumstances
• Fluidity of the platoon was really awesome, even though we didn't have great platoon level communications

Cons:

• RTO per squad would have worked better for communication
• Not enough smoke colours
• I was not able to throw the smokes I did have, other than white.
• Naval Strikes lasted a little long, and should have been controlled better
• not having RTOs within each squad meant platoon staff had to run all over the field relaying orders
• lacking in overall battlefield awareness, squads pushed alone and didn't follow the platoon, which lead to squads over extending and walking into friendly IDF

Staff Sergeant Jupiter.J
Sergeant Sky.N

Sergeant Blake.H [RET]
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Langlois.R
Private Ryder.D
Corporal Morrow.J
Specialist McMaster.G


Pros:

• Extremely memorable operation enjoyed by all
• Resource and comms constraints was a fun challenge
• excellent initiative and violence of action displayed by the team

Cons:

• Reinserts were a bit clunky
• Mission intent and checkpoints should have been established ahead of time
• People played this like a regular cav op and over-extended several times. The comms issues and bombardments are not mission negatives, instead are challenges to which we need to adapt better
