Pros

• Everyone had fun, FTX was great for being put together last minute due to issues found with the first two maps.

Cons

• Squad was not a fun of the ingame hotwash, even though it's more "realistic". Sound quality is much better via Discord and there were a fair number of crashing issues before we were even able to do our hotwash after the ceremony.
• A lot of negligent discharges at the very beginning of the FTX. This should not be happening.

Pros

• Troopers had fun
• Great FTX especially with lack of time to create it
• troopers confidence boosted from the FTX

Cons

• After ENDEX Blackwater was shot down by Cadre.
• Bugs to the helicopters as well now

Pros

• Great teamwork, call outs and target ID
• Only 2 casualties (Unable to reach before bleed out)
• Great use of vics
• Good ammo control
• Great shooting!
• Great quick start for the FTX

Cons

• Bunched up once or twice , unavoidable but lucky to escape grenades.
• small section in the end due to people having to leave.
• Hotwash in game had no issues but some people are not big fans.

Specialist Kelly.S
First Sergeant Miya.M for about 75% of the OP

Pros

• Teamwork in the section and between sections on the ground was fantastic. Sections were covering and supporting each other naturally.
• Comms in the section was on point and really happy to see the comms discipline.
• Private Haagerup.FN had 20 medic revives leading to no squad wipes and very little use of the rally and Private First Class Mukerjee.A had 3 vehicle kills as HAT. I believe every rocket hit it's mark.
• Our assault on the airfield from the south took the enemy by complete surprise.
• Our aggression was second to none. Well done guys.
• Last but not least...it was FUN. Seriously, thank you guys for running this FTX. It was fantastic.

Cons

• Map errors and having to change the FTX on the fly but the FTX was still great so maybe it was a good thing?
• Way to much comms in Discord during prep and in game. Not everyone needs to know you'll BRB or non relevant info. It really makes comms cluttered for no reason and extremely difficult to use command comms and prepare an attack plan. Use section chat and not local 24/7 if its NOT relevant. Seriously. This is huge and very important. If we can't make a proper plan the Operation falls apart. Just keep quiet at the start until your SL says comms free.

Recruit Raven.V
Pros

• Moved together well
• Put AT training into effect well
• Use of smokes across the bridge worked well
• Enjoyed Infil/Exfil via helicopter

Cons

• Didn't use heli for logistical support (Per SL, didn't want to burden them but now realizing it was expected)
• It was boring at times, large area for one squad to clear. SL could've kept the team together instead of splitting as well.

Element Leader: Captain Fisch.Z

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Major Maddox.D
First Lieutenant McKinley.S
First Sergeant Hatchet.WX
Sergeant Knight.H

Pros

• Format of dividing + embedding HQ (Battalion + Company + Platoon Staff) across multiple Sections was positive,
• Excellent work by HQ recovering from a broken map less than 1 hour before the FTX.
• Individual Sections observed by HQ performed very well. SP drills are paying off.
• The entire Company was very cohesive, effective, and lethal.
• The FTX turned out to be fun and engaging. Credit to the whole Company for being so attentive + adaptable + responsive.

Cons

• Bugs (most likely due to the recent UE5 update) beyond anyone's control caused issues.
• Resistance was too light. More enemies would have been helpful.
