Element Callsign: Hammer - 1
Element Leader: Staff Sergeant Whitehead.B

Corporal Harris.M
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Villmarsson.L

Pros:

• Second half on approach to airfield was great lots of firemissions called in by other squads as well as good LOS onto enemy positions for self designating
• Great throwback to old style of WFW with the 4th Commandos and era
• Got to teach people mortars

Cons:

• Fog - no explanation needed
• Kits are typically a problem for these different style of missions since they have to be made specific for the mission unfortunatley
• first half of mission was alot of sitting round and waiting due to fog and situationally with the squads having to push into towns and not have time to call fires

Element Callsign: ARCHER-6
Element Leader: Second Lieutenant Narramoor.A

Pros:

• Fantastic operation, the deviation from the standard playbook was unanimously and overwhelmingly well received by everyone present. I hope S3 mission makers can continue to flex their creativity more frequently.
• Really good succession of command.
• Good opportunity to 'go back to basics' without the typical GPS-staring

Cons:

• Further integrations of fires in the outset of planning, and having the mission facilitate it with weather conditions
• Mortars should utilise the most crucial part of the CFF and announce shot out to decrease confusion

 

[Vincent.L]

Element Callsign: ARCHER-5
Element Leader: Staff Sergeant Vincent.L

Pros:

• Good operation. The era, equipment, and atmosphere where perfect.
• Good comms and good return to basics with lack of GPS
• Great defense at the end

Cons:

• Difficult to use Hammer-1 due to fog.
• Call for Fire should be used more and SL should be more comfortable with using Maps and Map tool to make it happen.
