Element Callsign: Gunslinger-2
Element Leader: Specialist Verlot.L​

7th Cavalry Personnel Involved in Action:
Specialist Xinos.T
Private Zaren.T
Private Blackburn.H
Private First Class Corbin.R
Specialist DeVriend.M
Corporal Black.A
Specialist Easson.T


Pros:

• Good communication between Gun 1 and Gun 2
• Good teamwork within the squad

Cons:

• Plan on platoon level was very thin
• We were being rushed through the entire op, forced to make very dangerous moves in order to keep up with the rest of the platoon
• It was mentioned how there seems to be a trend in the warfare wednesday operations where too many elements are thrown at a single objective resulting in all those elements being bunched up.
• Balance of action (we had pretty much no action)
• Server Performance

Element Callsign: Bison-1
Element Leader: Chief Warrant Officer 2 Wulf.C

7th Cavalry Personnel Involved in Action:
Private Williams.S


Pros:

• Target rich environment
• Good comms
• Infidel handled task overload well

Cons:

• Infidel did the job of 4 other people when he shouldn't have to, resulted in less CAS requests for BISON. He shouldn't have to handle 3x CAS assets, then call resupplys, pick-ups, drop-off, designate LZ's, that's JTAC or ground leadership's job.
  
  
• Zeus spawned or the mission spawned BMP's with the broken tow-guided missiles basically under as soon as we came into an area and got shot down with no warning. A second time a ZSU spawned basically under us as well.
  
  
• For zeused WW aircraft being used should be spawned by a zeus. The spawner is right next to the ammo trucks, so we all had to wait for one vehicle at a time to spawn and the pilot to choose their loadout and move out. Ton's of time wasted. The spawner also spawned vehicles on top of each other and they blew up, and once spawned right on top of the spawner.
