Element Leader: MSG.Centeno.JP

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: Me, Myself, and I.

Pros:

• A lot of contact
• Great communication with 6, 7, and infidel
• Buffalo was fantastic to work with, thank you!
• ATLAS did a stand up job
• Infidel absolutely saved our hides.

Cons:

• Radios were absolutely FUBAR, to put it professionally as possible
• The main HQ building had fun corners that would randomly knock out people and make them instantly red

Captain Burton.P
Corporal Davidson.J
Corporal Dunn.W
Specialist Bates.J
Specialist Bowman.B
Specialist Rodahl.S
Specialist Renard.S

Pro:
COP defense is really fun
Everyone reacted appropriately to enemy infantry and MBTs
Squad retook our section of the COP after the temporary Alamo
ATLAS was outstanding in keeping troopers in the fight

Con:
Comms were somewhat bad due to ACRE and its radio issues
Bandit 1's sector didn't have as much contact as Bandit 4, making it a bit boring.
Enemy AI morphed through the bottom floor of the CCP at one point

Element Callsign: ATLAS-1

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Private First Class Parker.P
Private Hewitt.O
Recruit Turn.J

Pros

• Amazingly fun OP for Atlas teams!
• After the first large wave of casualties, the organization inside the CCP became excellent.
• Near non-stop action, the entire OP.

Conns

• Black tags towards the end. We would've needed a few more teams to manage the volume of casualties we had at specific points.
• Initially, the CCP was a mess. Two teams with casualties in such proximity induced some communication issues.
• A couple of Arma-isms in the OP with OPFOR phasing through the floor and injuries induced by crates and body bags. Arma is going to be Arma, after all.

Retirement Home:
Lieutenant Colonel Rosefield.M

Pros:

• Good Op guys liked to pew pew
• New trooper was Solid, without being asked he picked up the MG and continued fire
• Chaos
• Good medical Care
• Maaws team was working it, Deleted a sniper with pink mist
• 240 teams will be tried for war crimes because of bodies to bullet ratio (too much brass to flesh)

Cons:

• Small outpost
• not enough fighting positons
• buggy outpost kept hurting my troops
• potential zues mishap in putting down a pile of rubble
• still no SU-260p MDO site for the 240B in default loadout (the proper 240 site made specifically for the weapon)
• Medics sometimes TOO focused on Casualties rather than shooting the guy who shot their patient
• low ground bad for fob defense
• too much moving of bodies vs shooting enemy
• The towers were too open, and the hesco barriers too tall to shoot over
• Back blast area was too slow to clear
• COP was too small for realism and it was not enough proper fighting positions
• COP security was poor late game

Pros:

Hobbs.T is this something I do, or can you auto populate based on server?

Yes. Whoever was the OIC does a master list S1 goes off of to process attendance. It's posted in the main (your) AAR and the names link to the their Milpacs, not their forums account.
I recommend clicking and dragging names OR copying the names in each element's AAR and pasting them into your own under "Attendees".
