Pros:

• a lot of yellow tags during the defensive part and we were able to keep up with them

Cons:

• Convo movement after we were soft dismantled and moving to the COP
• we felt the base was a little small a lot of troopers were talking over each other
• there were a lot of red tags called to 7 that we started to move towards then were recalled as black tags

Pros:

• Squad worked very well together, good communication, good response to orders. Both FTLs did an excellent job keeping me situationally aware. Good job getting PCC PCIs completed during leaders brief.
• Squad had good SA on defense. One notable action of spotting enemy fire team danger close to G1 position.
• Good initial convoy movement
• Fun and engaging movement under contact from W2 to W3 and OP. Noted good pacing of moving and coming into contact. Good coordination on platoon in rear of movement working together to keep everyone covered
• Doing leaders brief and allowing time to distribute plan led to troopers feeling situationally aware
• Good flexibility on final assault. Worked well with 1, 2 and 6 on safely getting across the river and adjust assault on Dallas.

Cons:

• Initial plan for convoy protection felt off to me, but we fell into a good formation to protect the movement
• The 240 Humvees have known issues with troopers getting stuck in the gun.
• Heavy humvees are unable to get up steep terrain
• Squad noted lack of situational awareness on platoon location on movement to Dallas.
• Watched member of G1 unload 240 on civilian van w/o warning

Private First Class Kirkland.M
Specialist Colbert.L

Pros:

• Great communication with Gun-5
• LZ's were easily Identifiable

Cons:
- Due to supplies not being turned on, our primary task was not feasible. We had the capabilities to do more tasking such as ISR and CAS. This left us just doing Reinserts.

Pros:

• Excellent fireteam leadership. My job was easy.

• Nice to do base defense for part of the op
• Excellent self-sustaining ammo runs during defense

Cons:

Element Callsign: ODIN, LOKI

Element Leader:
Second Lieutenant Bishop.B - ODIN
Corporal Mobius.T - LOKI

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Second Lieutenant Bishop.B
Corporal Mobius.T
Specialist Reddick.A

Pros

• Everyone had a fun time!
• Was a learning experience for those that had not performed as a mortar team and FO before but the patience from everyone was appreciated and made for a good time those involved.
• Great communication and coordination between LOKI and ODIN.
• Plenty of work for mortar team including some precision strikes decimating an enemy OP.
• Inclusion of support elements such as ODIN was welcomed and it was expressed that support assets such as mortars should be utilized more often.
• Helios was invaluable in getting mortar team set up and supplied with ammo and did a great job.
• Being able to relocate mortar was a nice option should we have needed to move.
• Unlimited mortars.

Cons

• Supplies were left off allowing team to fire with impunity and vehicle was unable to transport the mortar components and an appropriate amount of ammo which would have added restraints.
• Local running through the convoy attempting to rummage through things. Got a hold of a radio due to a player that respawned for some reason and disco'd during a soft dismount compromising convoy net. Vic 9 reported missing tobacco.
