COMBAT AFTER ACTION REPORT​

Element Callsign: Valkyrie 1-1
Element Leader: Staff Sergeant Markel.Z

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Sayers.L
Private Parker-Kiewit.D

Pros

• Everyone had fun.
• Pilot executed orders almost flawlessly.
• PSG even got some official fly time in due to some technical issues.

Cons

• Skorpo is not a great map for scouting via the air. The trees are overabundant.
• When setting up LZs for pilots, please consider the skill level of the pilot that is assigned to go to it. Not all pilots are Wings qualified and may need a larger LZ to safely land.

PUBLIC PLAYER= SNOW (Friend of Sergeant Major Barr.D)
Pros

• Great reaction to contact
• Fun working as a team ( Not all same section + one public player!)
• Comms were good
• Structure was great as an FTX, very dynamic
• Good movement, no 'HARD' deaths.
• Public guest loved gameplay , working with the cav and handled well.
• When orders made, pace was good/made
• Very fun all round, pleasure working with all involved. A very busy FTX but i think our section did well!

Cons

• Spacing a times of lull and when waiting at end/start of phase.
• some glitches with victors and kits reported but no major issues in the end.
• Allow more flexibility with FTL's ( for SL)
• Although use of map markers were good , one trooper didn't know how they worked (Missed the SP, no issues will work on it!)

COMBAT AFTER ACTION REPORT​

Element Callsign: 4/1 Blood Raptors
Element Leader: Private First Class Barbosa.M

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Specialist Reifel.R
Specialist Rodriguez.J
Private First Class Haagerup.FN
Private Dhafeeri.M
Second Lieutenant Kaiser.R

Pros

• All troops thoroughly enjoyed the FTX.
• The Exercise was densely packed with action set-pieces. Special attention must be drawn to the Swarm of the Bees --- BTR-82As and BMP-1/-2s --- with 4/1 maintaining a solid defensive position for twenty to twenty five minutes under incredibly heavy IFV fire with a dwindling supply of resources.
• Communications were on point --- PID; call-outs; tactical maneuvers; all were communicated clearly and executed to a high degree.
• Leadership was highlighted as a strong point. Much to improve upon, but a strong start.
• Superb up-time on Squad. Haagerup's Medic performance is to be commended.

Cons

• Swarm of the Bees was aurally overwhelming and made comms difficult to hear across Squad, Command, and Local.
• More vehicle choices, beyond the M240H Humvees, would have been appreciated. Would have provided more flexibility for Armor response tactics.
