Pros:

Cons:

• OPORD/Mission intent stated heavy QRF, which never materialised

• Those Type-1 on AA where strictly limited to guns only, forcing us into range of taking fire. Wasn't logical
• Had 2x Type-1 engagements throughout the 2 hour Op (within the first 10m)
• Asset selection could be improved
