SGT.Blake.H

Pros

• A lot of medical work to be done.
• Multiple Mas Cas calls handled.
• Good use of cTAB for marking casualties/CCP's/MCI's.
• Decent coms/reports from SL's and PLT staff made it easy to locate casualties and track combat effectiveness.
• no blue-on-blue (as far as i know).
• Good buddy aid when it was administered.
• ATLAS team handled themselves and their workload exceptionally well. Good job gents!
• Only 1 Medical team utilized for per platoon (as it should be)

Cons

• Lack of buddy aid on some occasions resulting in black tags
• Lack of use of recovery position leading to death via spO2 loss - Ignore the head turning/head hyperextension/guedel tube and just use the recovery position!
  • Rifleman First Aid Handbook - "Recovery Position": https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_06wNTU-72powEj4R7T6oMLhOLAoLSGw/view
• Was unable to effectively utilize ATLAS-3 due to lower turnout than expected.

Bandit-1
Westcott.R

Pros:
-Fantastic Operation! The ENTIRE squad loved the concept and execution!
-Succession of command in the squad and in the PLT was fantastic!
-Great inner-squad comms, FTL-FTL was superb
-2 Public players joined our squad and both had a great time!
-Trench clearing with ODA bounding...all the smokes and directed fires....just enough cover to advance...more of this please!

Cons:
-Public players mentioned that they had a tough time getting in the fight after loading in: Maybe a co-zeus to help with this
-A Frag took out a FT at one of the trench breeches, initially though to be Blue on Blue but video shows it was OPFOR. Either way...Spacing Spacing Spacing.
-LAMBS Fire mission lagged the server and use needs to be avoided in the future until this is fixed
