• Fun operation with a massive amount of action
• Decent communication across FT/SQD/PLT
• Element leader was highly competent in both SL and replacement PL positions
• Bravo fireteam leader exhibited excellent SA and direction of troops
• FOB objective blocking action NW made for a realistic but hellish scenario
• Superb accountability despite all the chaos
• ATLAS showed great responsiveness in casualty care

Cons:

• Mission restart just when things were heating up
• Really missed broader equipment selection, just on an optics front
• A lot of casualties sustained with massive amount of contact
• Frequency of casualties resulted in extended downtime despite quality care
• Should've pulled back off blocking position when it became untenable

 

[Dio.B]

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

Headquarters
7th Cavalry Regiment
COMBAT AFTER-ACTION REPORT​

Element Callsigns: GUNSLINGER-6
Element Leaders: Corporal Dio.B (originally Gun-1 SL)

7Cav Personnel within element:
Major LaCombe.M ( original Gun-6)

Pros:

• Communication on Platoon net was coordinated, brief and informative. Alot of parallel communication between squads which was great.
• Positioning at both objective points were well coordinated by squads - allowed for a wider defensive position at both
• Contact volume and positioning was reasonable and the mission concept was well carried out
• Fire commands well executed and acted on by all squads.

Cons:

• Lost communication with Gun-3, no contingencies used to make contact on both sides.
• Spent way too much time at first point where Atlas-3 took a very long time to repair vehicles and then left them without fuel as gun-3 was about to move out in them
• Did not pull back blocking maneuver when position reported untenable. Although the coordination of reinforcing the position and utilizing the CCP behind the line was well carried out - I should have respected the assessment of Gun-1 on that position and pulled back to prevent mounting casualties

• Spotreps allowed entire platoon to understand enemy positions.
• Good reaction to contact.

• Top notch communication within squad and on Platoon net.
• For a small ground force we held our own against overwhelming odds in a FOB defence and linking with GUN-3.

Notes:
