[Ratliff.B]

Element Callsign: Viper-3
Element Leader: Warrant Officer 1 Ratliff.B

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Warrant Officer 1 Ratliff.B
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Peterson.L
First Sergeant Summerfield.P
Chief Warrant Officer 3 Villmarsson.L
Specialist Crimzon.E

Pros:

• Squad did well and took a lot of objectives
• Viper-3 Shot down an enemy helicopter near Entre-Deux
• Good Communication with 5 and 6, except for far objectives
• Coordination in the squad was overall good

Cons:

• We're not used to PvP so the movement we're used to is not helpful as often as it could be
• We didn't prioritize the Radio Tower so the tug of war continued for longer than it should have been
• Didn't run supplies with us during assaults
• Long reconsolidation at Entre-Deux, took about 10 minutes

 

[Westcott.R]

Element Callsign:Gunslinger-4
Element Leader: Master Sergeant Westcott.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
First Lieutenant Hilberg.A
Corporal McAllen.J
Private First Class Rockwell.D
Private Vandal.T
Private Juenemann.D

Pros:

• Squad cohesion was exceptional! G-4 had clear objectives for the 1st hour and we just set them up and knocked them down.
• Squad comms were superb and PLT comms were well done this evening. Not too much chatter and important info was able to be conveyed.
• Even the PvP wasn't too terrible, G-4 was able to do a couple bounding assaults, utilize SOSRA and be effective in capturing OBJs vs players.
• Pvt's Jeunemann, Vandal, and Rockwell punched well above their rank all night
• G-4 asset kills tonight were 3x BTR, 2x Mi-8 gunships.

Cons:

• G-4 was over-extended in our blocking position for too long. Out of comms range with no resupply or weapons emplacements.
• The PLT plan was solid but time sensitive, and once the cards started to fall it collapsed. Recovery went well enough but was too late.

 

[Easy.G]

Element Callsign: Viper-2
Element Leader: Private First Class Easy.G

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Casey.W
Staff Sergeant Konn.G
Sergeant Laui.M
Private Thomas.K
Private First Class Kimmell.J
Private First Class Stanton.B


Pros:

• Squad captured multiple bases on the west coast
• Worked well along side Viper-1 during enemy contact in Gravette / Military Hospital
• Overall squad cohesion was good
• Entire team was well organized with good communication.

Cons:

• Was left outside of radio contact on the front lines every time we lost the Radio Tower
• Barbed Wire = Boo boos
• Having to remember to roll my SL radio back to the new platoon channel when killed.

 

[Mitsuma.R]

Element Callsign: Gunslinger - 6
Element Leader: Second Lieutenant Mitsuma.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:

Pros:

• Really good coverage all around - Every squad did what was asked and gave it their all.
• Between G-5 and Helios - Never had to worry about logistics - Never ran out of ammo.
• G-4 Assault squad gave them hell until we wouldn't catch up to them - RIP brave Hero's.
• Even in the incredibly disadvantaged position we found ourselves in we kept that game going for hours.

Cons:

• We just weren't as aggressive as we needed to be - got bogged down fighting AI and taking points to the north - didn't establish the right foothold.
• Some concerns were raised about people leaving when the going gets tough. Present in any PVP game, people leave when it becomes clear they aren't on the winning side. Not saying that's everyone who left, but the squads saw/heard enough people leave for it and it's demoralizing to the ones that stay.
• Some questions were raised on Russian weapons/equipment balancing -- Russians spawn with a IFV because why??

Element Callsign: Viper - 6
Element Leader: Second Lieutenant Davis.D

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
N/A

• Pros:
Great Communication between platoon and SL's
Outstanding resource availability provided by Tovar -1
The plan was carried out effective and quickly, and every VIPER callsign carried their weight
I had a lot of fun being 6 for this operation
Great to see the operation carry out and become a tug of war over Military Hospital
Viper 5 did excellent and was able to place a MCU to flank the objective and able to collapse on the objective with help from Viper - 1, 2 and FT from Viper 4

• Cons:
Slight miscommunication resulting in an OBJ to be missed to set up a radio tower leading to troops without comms with plt
Viper 1 & 2 were moving resources, dismounted their truck and went to unload and the truck would disappear causing them to try to get more supplies again
Reconsolidation would take long at times creating a Lul when needed for expedited tasking

 

[Jones.RH]

Element Callsign: Viper - 1
Element Leader: Corporal Jones.RH

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Jones.JR
Specialist Carrasco.J
Private Russell.JG
Private Henry.T
Private Giordano.C


Pros:

• Exceptional communication between leadership elements
• Outstanding cohesion between Fire team and other units
• Assistance for and from Viper - 2
• Supplies carried by unit allowed for quick building of base, allowing for faster transition to next objective
• Immaculate logistical support from Helios - 1 allowed infantry units to focus fighting and capturing other objectives
• Use of radio backpacks allowed for fast reinforcements when bases were overrun

Cons:

• Enemy units within base causing inability to construct radio tower, resulting in breakdown of communication to Viper - 6 and other units.
