Pros:
-Mission for ambush was completed
-Units did infact extract w/o issue
-Mission was actually really cool

Cons:
-Noise Discipline! The enemy can hear you even at 25% from at least 50 meters
-Land nav, our Nav skills need improvement
-we should have slowed down at moments
-Remember RP's are regroup points and we can use to resupply, heal up, or wait one.
-I forgot to call up about seizing enemy vehicles when I initially took them


SL Remarks:
-We may be able to split into small cells of 4 and engage targets.
-We may be able to benefit from Walking pace, most of our engagements were reactionary to enemy noticing us
-mission itself is good, our own selves need improvements
