Element Callsign: Eagle HQ
Element Leader: Specialist Sutterfield.B

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Captain Fisch.Z
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Blackwater.N

Pros

• Very good comms overall both rounds
• excellent flanking and maneuvering tactics between squads and fireteams.
• Good execution of plans, always on point and quick adaptability

Cons

• A couple of friendly fire incidents and accidental self sabotages.
• Logistics and vehicle use in round 2 were very inconsistent and very inorganized, multiple vehicles were left in abandonment and caused large amounts of ticket losses.
• Multiple incorrect calls and overextensions on OIC's (My) part, including sending half of the forces in a suicide run that costed multiple assets and infantry, not establishing a logistics chain, not setting proper defenses for F.O.B.'s, wasting assets by putting a radio in a position known by the enemy.

Pros

• Use of SquadAdminTools, enabling hearing of BLUFOR's Local Communications made for incredibly fun and tense moments. Reacting to assaults off of comm audio alone felt very rewarding, and I'd encourage the mod's inclusion in future PvP Operations.
• Pacific Proving Grounds is a great map for these smaller scale Operations. Engagements were filled with close-quarter, high-octane moments.
• The Element's adaptability to combat situations is to be commended, especially Corporal Eldridge's readiness to assume leadership of a secondary Element in Bear 2. Spreading ourselves out ensured our engagements were successful. as REDFOR, our dynamic approach to both matches led to victory two times over.
• Small unit tactics were carried out well with few exceptions.
• Communication between Elements on Command Radio was efficient and well executed.
• Faction selection was well-balanced, and the decision to enable free selection of kits is to be encouraged in future small unit Operations due to opportunities for tactical creativity and freedom.
• Reduced ticket pool made every poor decision feel more costly and every well-executed play more valuable.

Cons

• Vehicle abandonment in second round needs to be considered, especially when you account for our limited ticket pool of 125 tickets per match.
• On a few occasions, the smaller scale of the Operation led to more 'silly' moments. Certain directives were not acted on at the expediency expected of troopers.
