DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY S3 BATTLE STAFF Headquarters 7th Cavalry Regiment COMBAT AFTER ACTION REPORT ​ Element Callsign: Viking-7 Element Leader:Staff Sergeant Maco.D 7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: N/A Pros: Good comms with Atlas Team Leads Quick Reaction to requests overhead assigning within Atlas teams color teams Was great to see Saber in field Viking Loadout was very nice Cons: Issue came up again with people being killed and respawning and not being able to get any medical perms even tho it says they are assigned them. Big issue that needs looking into. Not a large amount of contact for viking due to saber a issue that requires a fine hand. UGV ramed a Atlas Vic which resulted in mas cass Medical was low for Atlas due to mostly mounted actions for viking Warhorse 7 needs to be specific when requesting Atlas teams Saber units should pulled back from front line when requesting atlas support to avoid risk of heavy engagement to atlas

Element Callsign: ATLAS-2
Element Leader: Specialist Sam.T

First Lieutenant Mazinski.H
Specialist Winters.R
Private First Class Turn.J
Private First Class Teixeira.J



Pro:

• Everyone had a good time throughout.
• A good amount of medical towards the end of the operation, with the main compound assault followed by 2 MASCAS incidents.
• Strykers are an excellent change from the M113s, Medical MRAPs, and HMMWVs we used previously in FTXs and DPMCs. They offer excellent protection, mobility, and the ability to carry many casualties when needed.

Con:

• Lack of information at one point led to casualties in the team. Upon arrival on Saber-1 pos, we were ambushed by roughly a squad and a half of EI. We recovered quickly and had the other Atlas team handle the casualties in Saber-1 while we handled our own wounded.
• One MASCAS included Atlas-1 and was induced by a friendly vehicle collision that likely could and should have been avoided.
• Several general "Atlas" calls on 15 did not include a specific team. This lead to delays in response.

Pros:

• Good fun had by all.
• Brilliant showcase of squad fundamentals. Within team bounding, pushing to cover, mounting drills, SIERRA movement.
• Well executed final assault of the FOB.
• Aggressive movement towards enemy rather then remaining stationary.
• Secured enemy intel point and ammo cache. Controlled Detonation of position.
• Fantastic spotreps throughout the entirety of the operation. A constant supply of intel on enemy locations and movement.
• Successful achievement of operation objectives and breaking through enemy defensive line.
• Top work from ATLAS in responding to casualties and being there to support.
• A superb showcase of SABRE and platoon dynamic. Initial spot reps showed 30+ enemy MBTs. SABRE halted all enemy expectations.

Cons:

• Spacing at times due to downtime.
• Sabre focus left not to much enemy saturation.
• Overall movement remained cautious - time constraints.
• Discipline on compound breach.
• Approach routes for ATLAS

• Low volume of work made boredom an issue, but the teams took care of each other.

I think this was forgotten due to not being stickied?

 

[Tharen.R]

Bunnell.M Sharkey.D Derry.B - there any holds on this AAR?

 

[Sutodoreh.W]

Geki.T I believe Saber-3 forgot to submit an AAR, so our crew is missing from the master list. Bit annoying but I can't remember who was my TC or who was with me, doesn't really matter I suppose.

Geki.T I believe Saber-3 forgot to submit an AAR, so our crew is missing from the master list. Bit annoying but I can't remember who was my TC or who was with me, doesn't really matter I suppose.

We didn't actually have a SABRE-3 if I recall, we had WARHORSE in an M1A2 and they filled in SABRE platoon so we had a full complement.

 

[Derry.B]

Bunnell.M Sharkey.D Derry.B - there any holds on this AAR?

No holds, it was missed due to not being sticked
