Element Callsign: Bandit-7
Element Leader: Sergeant Sam.T


Pros:

• The first objective seemed to flow well.
• Atlas Team flexed around the AO very well, considering the scale involved.
• Good banter on the ride in, which is crucial on long infil rides on Deniland.
• Decent amount of medical work for the team, considering the low turnout and relatively low contact in Obj 1.

Cons:

• The timing of the OP led to all medics needing to step away for SP.
• One surgical case that popped up ended up being Zeus healed, which was a bummer for the team surgeon. But considering it was right on the cusp of the team stepping away, no hard feelings were had.
