Element Callsign: Gunslinger-7
Element Leader: First Lieutenant Sam.T

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Reservist Dixon.E

Pros:

• Great amount of work this OP!
• Had a medic shadow for the entire event, this is an awesome way to get folks experience in these Platoon roles before throwing them into the deep end!
• Atlas teams were solid tonight! Lots of heavy casualties, and saved plenty of them!
• Solid comms on the med net, and decent comms on command/platoon nets as well. Lots of pro-words used, enabling effective comms.
• Excellent work from the squad CLS's tonight.

Cons:

• Hit-or-miss server performance. Lots of disconnects and some severe lag spikes at times.
• Few MASCAS calls that could've been refined to MULTI-CAS or singular. Definitely look to refine those MASCAS calls with casualty count, security status, marking method if there is one, etc...
• Reported issues with the King-LT "disappearing". These issues seem few and far between, but can have significant consequences.
• Deficiencies with individual first aid, plenty of instances of chest seals and airway interventions, but missing tourniquets and bandages. Definitely remember MARCH and the importance of treating key injuries first before moving onto less immediate concerns.
