Element Callsign: Buffalo Flight
Element Leader: First Lieutenant Thumper.N (Buffalo-1 Pilot)

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Private First Class Peterson.L (Buffalo-1 Crew Chief)
Specialist Hamm.C (Buffalo-2 Pilot)
Sergeant Gann.T (Buffalo-3 Pilot/Buffalo-2 Crew Chief)
Chief Warrant Officer 3 Sparrow.P (Buffalo-4 Pilot/Buffalo-1 Co-Pilot)

Pros

• Plenty of work to do, and a lot of fire suppression runs.
• Right amount of AA threat to make it fun but not overwhelming.
• Plenty of spicy points in the mission.

Cons

• Arma-isms, with aircraft jumping on the ground without control input.
• Took too long on the 'x' during exfil, with a hot LZ; needs more coordination.
• 500+ second repair time seems kind of excessive.

Element Callsign: ATLAS-1
Element Leader: Specialist Winters.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Albright.J
Corporal Maco.D
Specialist McAllen.J
Specialist Moon.B

Pros:

• ATLAS-1 troopers had a blast​
• A metric ton of medical to do​
• Saved a lot of people who were severely injured​
• Terrific reaction to IDF and moving patients​
• In group and medical net communications were tight​
• Contact was intense​

Cons:

• Some discrepancy on start time for OP
• It got to be a meat grinder for some of the infantry with mass casualties incidents and IDF. To be fair there was warning with spotting drones for IDF
• Some miscommunication with extract as both me and 7 thought it would be BUFFALO-1 landing then picking up followed by BUFFALO-2 which we were to board. Did not know it was going to be at the same time with 2 birds on the ground. Bird also waited too long and should have taken off and orbited
• Lost 7 at the start and did not have communications with 7 for a bit
