BFT issues - may be due to spawning in with BFTs in backpacks? Some were able to fully use it, others only had a select group of units on BFT. Recommend possibly changing to ACE MAP BFT until issues are alleviated.

Public personnel within element:
N/A

Pros:

• Really fun operation even though Buffalo-1 utilization was limited, understandable due to Mech style op.
• While on on the ground standing by for tasking, two new Cav members got some excellent training in. (i.e. "Everyday's a school day")
• Excellent teamwork on board the aircraft and coordination with Comms.

Cons:

• No infidel.
• Comms were good, however when using ACRE radios, brevity is really important.
• No pre-made supply crates as we had in previous builds. These really need to be re-incorporated to expedite re-supply to requesting infantry (i.e. having to do a "grocery list" manually, item by item.
• ACRE issues (I could not copy LR20 at all)
