Pros:

• No blue on blue !
• Good amount of contacts
• Fun (squad movement/cover/bounding, engagement and tactics, communication between fireteams)
• Keeping the momentum up even in stressful situations were challenging
• Last assault into enemy bunker and engament to enemy QRF was very good and well dealt with
• Inititave from troopers with in responsibility became the sole reason why V2 was able to survive throughout (LAV kill, SBF calls, movement calls)

Cons:

• Questionable planning regardless of the mission objective, however the situation needs vetted plans or mission designed around such situations
  (not to achieve victory, but to execute the mission as intended)
• PLT movement was hasty, unorganized, not transparent at most times leading to confusion
• Lot of blackouts on comms without transfer of situations
• Enemy GMG were too effective
• ace/battle eye issues resulting into impossible retrieval of friendly casualties

​

Element Callsign: Viking-6
Element Leader: Second Lieutenant Rodahl.S

Pros:

• Great Operation.
• Great working with chaos.
  • The time to target for air assets when reporting in was minimal.
• It was a lot of fun trying the Penetration manoeuvre.
  • Seems like a difficult manoeuvre without extensive prior briefing.
• Very fun engaging threats peer to peer.
• Excellent work by the squads.
• Great communications.

Cons:

• Long Halt at RP 1 was a problem.
  • Too close to the AO, was caught in an ambush.
  • Zeus disconnected before the ambush and the automatic trigger wasn't triggered.
• Platoon was split after the ambush.
  • I made an executive decision to keep the vehicles moving even though we had two disabled ones.
  • Once the squads linked up there were a few ad-hoc commands and changes to the plan.

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


Pros:

• Excellent work from the Atlas teams.
• There was an excellent volume and diversity of casualties.
• Good communication between medical teams.
• One-lifes are cool.
• I saved Houston.T at the beginning of the OP!

Cons:

• Initial movement, reaction to contact, reaction to ambush, and force deployment at the RP were scuffed. This was likely due to all four of these things happening simultaneously.
• Blue on Blue, again, at the end. This happens every OP now.
