• Was not informed that surgery was locked to medical vehicles.
• Arsenal was missing blood, plasma, and entrenching tools. Important for setting up CCP to have all of those items.

Element Callsign: Misfit-5
Element Leader: First Sergeant Summerfield.P

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
First Sergeant Summerfield.P

Pros:

• Step off in under 10 minutes
• Knowledgeable SLs made 5 and 6 life easier
• Every asset was super responsive on comms
• Covered an area that should have been managed by 4 squads with only 2.5
• Excellent ammo usage by the squads. Company+ engaged and only one resupply was needed
• 6, 7, Infidel, and myself all worked really well together
• Aviation elements playing several ground leadership roles. Infidel, 6, 5, Atlas 1.. we had coverage throughout, to also include Raider, Buffalo, and Hog

Cons:

• Should have switched to long range with Infidel when he moved out of short range range
• Honestly none... and the the ones that I have aren't even really cons
• Cargo box was buggy which caused damage to a humvee, caused Buffalo to explode, and even caused the Mission Controller to be kicked
• Vehicles weren't able to be resupplied

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

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Korwel.J
Warrant Officer 1 Hamm.C
Corporal Whitfield.L

Pros:

• Map was excellent, had really good performance, and interesting terrain. Has great potential for future operations / WFW's.
• Crew within Buffalo was excellent -- everyone did their role by the book.
• Communication within Buffalo was perfect, communication with Misfit was also great.
• Despite slow-ish start, we got to do several reinserts and communication with Misfit to co-ordinate LZ's went really well.

Cons:

• Prefacing all of these with a general understanding that Ronan is coming back to Zeusing after a while (and there was an issue with the Zeus being kicked), but some general notes:
  • Fuel / Ammo / Repair trucks were missing and had to be requested. Whenever aviation units are going to be used in a mission, we are always going to request these (and the trucks specifically as they are 100% better), so it makes sense to include them in the mission design.
  • Crate problem: the medical crate was fine, but the ammo crate was huge which caused 2 incidents of attempting to load/unload the MH-60 with the crate to cause damage to the bird. One of these times resulted in an explosion in the AO.
  • Helicopter problem: if a Buffalo is needed for an operation, the MH-60M is the correct model to place. The UH-60 was placed originally, and this helicopter does not have any sensors.
  • Zeus responsiveness wasn't ideal, had some delays in getting supply crates and fuel trucks.
