Element Callsign: Buffalo-1
Element Leader: Specialist Korwel.J

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Korwel.J
Warrant Office I Hamm.C
Specialist Villmarsson.L
Private Alexander.P


Pros:

• Good operation overall, everyone had fun.
• Having a fully crewed Buffalo was fantastic (pilot, co-pilot, crew chief, and doorgun)
• Communication within the bird was excellent.
• This was Alexander.P 's first operation, and he did an excellent job in both communicating whether the bird is clear of obstacles, sightings of targets, and engaging targets with the door gun.
• Villmarsson also did an excellent job as crew chief.
• Communication with Infidel was excellent - clear descriptions of targets enabled our crew to effectively engage designated targets.
• Hamm did an excellent job handling communications on 12 with Infidel and guiding our door gunners onto targets via camera, despite issues with the geo-lock and vehicle tracking of the co-pilot camera.

Cons:

• MP incident from public player caused some distraction in the 25% point of the operation.
• Containers were placed instead of repair/refuel/rearm vehicles. This makes us very sad. It would be a significant improvement if the vehicular counterpart to these was used instead for WFW.
• The co-pilot slot in the MH-60 hatchet model is buggy.
• No opord posted. It's difficult to sign up for a WFW if we don't know what slots are available. It would be nice to have the opord posted at least 24hrs in advance.

Element Callsign: ATLAS-2
Element Leader: Corporal Norman.B

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist ODoyle.K

Pro:

• Sam.T did well as 7
• Comms were good

Con:

• Had to arrive late
• Infantry had a tendency to "gaggle" around casualties to see what was going on. This meant that when one member of the FT was down, often the entire team remained around the casualties. Once ATLAS is on scene infantry should ask if they can be of assistance, if ATLAS says no, then infantry should check-in with their FTL about what is necessary and continue the fight.
