Pros:

• Fun Op

Pros:

• Solid crew and bird comms.

• Fun mission overall.
• Always fantastic when bird have full crews.

Cons:

• FAC should've been a JTAC as none of the birds were CAS birds.
• Sling Loading should be never be needed. Crates need to be ones that can be loaded in.
• Mechanized elements were a surprise but we survived so not all bad.

Pros:

• Fun mission concept; different.
• Tanoa frames not too bad.
• Great air-to-air and ground-to-air comms and operational coordination.

Cons:

• Some additional joint training on Fast Roping would be good

• Probably could’ve benefitted from Hog to handle the armor, although felt like the enemy armor was a last minute addition and not part of the original concept.

-Boxes missing medicines and fluids suitable for a field hospital
-would like to see FX(fracture) variables and symptoms that simulate an un-usable arm
-Batt aid station could use 2 more members as a triage team

Pros:

• Fun, unique mission. All had fun
• Fun to let ATLAS test out the new medical system

• Should have switched to a different LR or perhaps added ATLAS-2 to our SR when we initially separated from the BAS/ATLAS-8
