Element Callsign: VIKING-7
Element Leader: Specialist Winters.R

Pros:

• A huge amount of work for both medics and 7. Lots of calls​
• Miracle low amount of black tags. ATLAS smashed it​
• Troopers helping with medical, transporting casualties and assisting with mass casualty incidents​
• Platoon net was decent​
• Medical team had good react to IDF with getting causalities out of harms way​
• Action packed operation​

Cons:

• Low numbers with 3 man ATLAS-1 team was stretched paper thin with amount of calls. ATLAS-1 was tasked to capacity with medical calls and mass causality incidents with other medical calls having to be put on hold. Tried my best to supplement as one man medic team to help ATLAS
• Large area of ATLAS-1 to cover 2 approaches in dense forests. Sierras helped mitigate somewhat
• Vehicle getting Armaed and me getting blown up

Pros

• Good strikes on targets
• Good coms with all aviation assets in the AO
• Always fun flying around
• Cool danger close CAS strikes

Cons

• 9-Lines for a different target took a bit to get out almost leading to a platoon wipe when a platoon of T-80s rolled up to friendly forces.
• AA net was tough due to having no way to lock onto said targets with the A-10, better made for an F-35
• Low turnout
• Map isnt made for fixed wing sadly.

Element Callsign: BUFFALO FLIGHT
Element Leader: Specialist Hamm.C "Hooker" (PIC BUFFALO-1)

7Cav Personnel involved:
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Villmarsson.L (PIC BUFFALO-2)

Pros

• Very enjoyable OP and good OPORD.
• Great teamwork with air assets and ground. Great job everybody.
• Excellent Comms with VIKING-5. Well done sir.
• Loved the extract at endex... worked really well with the Blackhawks. Was prepared to do Grizzly extract, but best with Bhawk.

Cons

• Low general turnout (especially Alpha rotary- if we could have had one more come out serving as CC or DG, we could have had one primary bird and one cover bird (with dedicated CC or DG) but that didn't happen today. BUFFALO-1 and BUFFALO-2 pilots alternated PIC and CC so each could have fun and appreciable stick time.
• Map small and a little 2-D IMO. Other maps are more fun and certainly more challenging.
