Pros:

Cons:

 

[Nance.T]

Element Callsign: Gunslinger-3

Element Leader: Specialist Nance.T

7th Cavalry Personnel Within the Element:
Specialist Harry.J
Specialist Ross.S
Corporal Marcus.J
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Moskal.C

Pros:

• Felt like a nice change of pace for a more milsim centric op
• Got to get intel from civilians which is a nice touch for immersion
• FTL did a good job taking over when I was downed
• Good to see new map with different terrain that we have seen and to see the medical system come back

Cons:

• Op felt fairly unserious in execution
• Small squad was hard to do much with could've been condensed into another squad
• Difficult to man roadblock with very small numbers
• Only had vehicles attack roadblock, seemed very difficult to stop vehicles that wer actually trying to get in

 

[Mazinski.H]

Element Callsign: Helios-1

Element Leader: Sergeant First Class Mazinski.H

7th Cavalry Personnel Within the Element:
Sergeant First Class Mazinski.H
First Sergeant Wiseman.L

Pros:

• Very fun op all around
• Got to do a lot of demo work in various environments to various effects
• Got to do a good amount of construction and resupply work
• Felt very integral to the operation and did a lot of enabling work

Cons:

• Some disconnect issues
• Radios broke (most likely because of the disconnects)

 

[Carr.W]

Element Callsign: Gunslinger-2

Element Leader:
Sergeant Carr.W

7th Cavalry Personnel Within the Element:

Specialist Howe.T
Specialist Casey.W
Specialist Vara.J

Pros:

• very interesting new theater of operations. Insurgent tactics were varied and unexpected. Props to the mission operators, looking forward to more of this type.
• Excellent fireteam leadership and fireteam cohesion.
• Excellent succession of command
• Excellent casualty reactions including hand-off to platoon medic

Cons:

• Rushed execution of final obj - little to no recon left our left flank totally open to the enemy MG emplacement
• Low squad trooper counts might have benefited from combining squads
• Was not able to link up with Gun-4 - an integrated weapons element would have been interesting and we were planning for it.

Element Callsign: Gunslinger-1

Element Leader: First Lieutenant Molitor.K

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
First Sergeant Westcott.R
Staff Sergeant Lucander.P
Specialist Bowman.J
Specialist Reddick.A
Specialist Reed.JH
Specialist Tech.E
Specialist Pearl.F
Private First Class McGill.A

Pros:

• Almost unanimously, we enjoyed the insurgency style of operation and had a very good time.
• Good to be back from furlough and getting into the swing of things.
• Communication was good at all levels once we got going.
• The replacement medical mod seemed to work fine.
• S Vests were a blast...

Cons:

• Bit of an issue driving past initial contacts and lack of a COA for that.
• 3x light contact from Troopers
• S Vests were a blast...

Additional points brought up during the AAR more related to S3/BN:

• We were testing a medical mod and had one person show up to support it.
• The new server arrangement might merit some Pre-Op communications on Tac2 to see if we can translate the player base. There were very few public players that joined the GMM server.

Element Callsign: Gunslinger-5

Element Leader: Staff Sergeant Borenstein.B


Pros:

• Enjoyed the OP tempo
• Enjoyed the checkpoint building
• Enjoyed HELIOS blowing holes in rocks to find pathways
• BUF was doing cool stuff

Cons:

• We were all way too close for that controlled det; broke my legs
• How far away are we from a mod that allows radios in alternate ears? Having 4 channels going in both ears the entire time was migraine inducing.
• light attendance... I ended up covering a flank with a recruit for a good bit with a gun truck.

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:

Specialist Marquez.E
Recruit Sylvanus.M
Major Grgich.A
Sergeant Hartshock.P

Pros:

• Great atmosphere during this Op, contact levels felt realistic in the context of a COIN operation.

Cons:

• We realized post op it would have likely been better to collapse to a single vehicle since our squad was at most 5 strong
