Former Members Within Element:
[RET]Houston.T

Pros:

• Solid and well executed mission as a whole; Planning, movement, engagement, leadership.
• A interesting and well thought mission objective.
• Immersive AO led to a realistic and alive operation.
• Superb squad members, including sierra. Executed all orders perfectly and brought the fight to the enemy.
• Perfectly balanced amount of contact for a dense CQB environment.
• All troopers thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Everyone agreeing that this was an exciting premise, performed well.
• Good synchronisation with ATLAS elements. On hand to support and extract.
• No black casualties.
• More SIERRAS is brilliant and allows flexibility/ground power. Allowed troopers who lost a vehicle to be mounted elsewhere.
• Welcomed half full SIERRA inventory. Allowed for adaptive loading of what squad needed with basic ammo.
• Development of individual members over time is pleasing to see.

Cons:

• Short operation with only 1 HR of operation time. Server crash.
• CTAB crashes.
• INFIDEL on short range allowed for accurate information and requests. However even with 2 squads on the grounds, stepping on became an issue.

Element Callsign: INFIDEL
Element Leader: Priest.V

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Thumper.N

Pro:
Great Controls using both INFIDEL 1 and 2
Good use of KEYPAD Urban CAS
Pulled off a LOAL using a QuadCopter that was out of battery and slowly falling from the sky which was pretty cool
Good leadership plan from 6

Con:
Too much Red-Air for Op Realism

Element Callsign: Viking-6
Element Leader: Sergeant Sam.T


Pro:

• The planning that was done was executed very well.
• Individual squads did amazingly in the face of significant contact.
• All 3 HVTs were extracted alive!
• Platoon stepped to staging in a timely manner (within 20 minutes of the start, including after the server crash).
• Aviation did amazing! Red air was an almost non-factor, and transport aviation was perfectly on the ball!
  Infidel also did a phenomenal job coordinating CAS. Hard targets were frequently destroyed before they could ever come into play!

Con:

• Sever crash at the start (recovered well though and provided time to deliver a FRAGO before the start).
• Tried to account for lower numbers (aimed for 3 squads instead of four) but ended up only having 2. We FRAGO'ed effectively, but higher numbers would have been nice.
• Having Infidel coordinating with leadership on the platoon net led to some extra clutter. We worked through it, but having Infidel on 10 or the CMD short-range would've helped.
• The server crash and effective execution of the plan led to a very short operation.
