Element Callsign: Raider-1
Element Leader: Captain Thumper.N
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
First Lieutenant Berg.J

Pros:

• Good Op Plan.
• Some spicy moments.

Cons:

• Heavy Igla fire, on the verge of too much.
  • The missile fire was almost rapid fire.
• Got "Arma'ed" where the aircraft showed "green" but acted like the ATQR being out, but when CPG took control it was fine...ended with a teleport and new aircraft.
• Infantry seemed to fire HE towards HVT building, and when advised to lift fire, there seemed to be a miscommunication with the relay of information.

Element Callsign: Bandit-6
Element Leader: First Lieutenant Sam.T

Pros

• Squad fundamentals seemed solid.
• Decent comms.
• Excellent flexibility.
• Excellent assumption of command from -5 during my game crash.

Cons

• AA seemed thick.
• Motorized MO was a bit... rough on some of the terrain.
• HVT was KIA on the second OBJ.
• The game crashed moments before the first assault, leading to me missing that experience.

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

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Sergeant Davis.D
Specialist Peterson.L
Specialist Otakar.D

Pros:

• Great mission, lots of fun. Very nice OPORD and briefing.
• Excellent Alpha Co. crew teamwork and cohesion with fully crewed bird.
• Excellent comms with Bandit-5.
• Multiple RWR spikes/paints resulting in super-quick and successful NOE breaks.

Cons:

• Not really so much of a "con", but it would have been cool to helo-extract all three HVTs. (We got 1/3 out) ... but totally understandable given the IDF.
