Element Callsign: ACTIV-33 (we went through a couple of callsigns but this one for most of the night)
Element Leader:Sergeant First Class Westcott.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Second Lieutenant Hilberg.A
Sergeant Major Preacher.A
Corporal Apollo.R
Specialist Banks.M
Specialist Bethea.A
Specialist Jones.RH


Pros:

• Our element spent the first hour or so back-capping and taking the entire Southern Peninsula. Excellent team cohesion at times, total chaos at others. We worked well and were efficient in taking our OBJs, great online assaults that were fluid, especially at main OBJs.
• We planned and executed several pincer assaults on smaller PvP OBJs, and worked to cut enemy comms lines.
• The willingness of Public Players to respond to orders makes me very happy. Everywhere I went I could just ask people to come with me to take an OBJ and people just hopped to.

Cons:

• Players seem more focused on killing other players than working strategically to take the OBJs. Just the nature of PvP servers.
• I don't know what the situation is for SPD or console players with gamertags...but it sure would be nice to at least see =7Cav= in game for them.
• SEVERAL instances of firefights with US troops wearing Russian uniforms. I get that it is hard to police....but sheesh.

Element Callsign: Atlas Red 2
Element Leader: Major Grgich.A

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
First Lieutenant Huber.B
Staff Sergeant White.C
Private Hudson.B


Pros:

• Much more organized this time, and out squad focused on getting radios up and CV's deployed to allow for pushing into hostile objectives.
• The members of the Cav playing on the US side were mostly quick to advance from objective to objective.
• Public attendees were also better about listening and trying to play in a more tactical manner this time.
• All in all, this Firefight Friday was much better organized than the last and was a lot of fun. It was also very nice to have the OP start in the morning, giving everyone hours of daytime combat.

Cons:

• As always, playing dress-up and using a ton of supplies for silly loadouts was a problem.
• Despite having a CV at some objectives and calling it out over Platoon, people still opted to not spawn in/utilize the CV's to overwhelm enemy controlled objectives.
• Still quite a bit of platoon channel spamming, banter and useless conversation.

Pros:

• Good start from MOB

Cons:

• USSR struggled logistically after getting a good start
• Non-Cav personnel wasting supplies with the arsenal, and building arsenal and other structures before radio towers and structures vital to mission success
