Element Callsign: Gunslinger-7
Element Leader:Master Sergeant Zimm.L
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Master Sergeant Zimm.L
Specialist Yota.G
Recruit Weather.J

Pros:

• Was able to get good amount of medical going
• we only had one black tag for this operation under our care

Cons:

• Troopers were moving guys that 7 was working on so why we had that one black tag
• Troopers hovering over 7 when the show up to start working on the downed trooper
• it takes to long for us to resupply or break contact, need to speed up this process
• buddy teams need to make sure to bandage bleeding troopers, 7 isn't always close enough to bandage bleeds before then bleed out

 

[Nance.T]

Element Callsign: Gunslinger-3
Element Leader: Corporal Nance.T
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Sergeant Mack.A
Private First Class Lexon.M
Private Shreve.J

Private McKinley.K
Private Stark.A
Sergeant Apollo.R (Retired)

Pros:

• FTLs did good. Squad worked pretty well together
• Had one successful handover of Helios red casualty from our care to 7. Had another where 7 reacted to get to us quick, but we could not get them stabalized while reacting to IDF.
• Good to see effective use of enemy armor
• Some solid fragos to react to situations that were not expected

Cons:

• Chaotic tonight. Platoon net was hard to manage
• A lot of down time in the op, without much contact
• Had a new trooper get Arma'd, then had to reinsert via Buffalo. It's my opinion we should have troopers reinserted via TP when have issues such as Armaisms and DCs
• Had buffalo doing close flyovers of convoy movements and repeatedly doing so during AAR (edit: was not aware of the tradition of giving a high five, apologies)
• Stressful night for me, not my best work

Element Callsign: Helios-1
Element Leader: Specialist Bolte.D
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Second Lieutenant Mazinski.H
Corporal Mobius.T

Pros:

• Had a nice change of pace playing a true support role tonight and practicing our other roles and responsibilities.
• Practiced more demolition placement and calls over PLT net to relay the important message.
• Worked closely with all elements of the PLT between rearm/repair and keep the operation moving at full strength.
• For most of the FFF, easy communication for all parts on our end.

Cons:

• Had a few moments where we got ARMAD with supplies, bugs and placement of things.
• Convoy at times could've been cleaned up for spacing and control.
• The IDF threw everything for a loop and at one point held us up as Helios trying to figure out where and what was needed and what needed priority.

 

[Fox.Z]

Element Callsign: Gunslinger-1
Element Leader: Corporal Fox.Z
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Fox.Z
Specialist Bayer.MW
Private First Class McGill.A
Specialist Casey.W
Specialist Bowman.J
First Lieutenant Huber.B


Pros:

• Great communication on the leadership level. A little cluttered, but more communication and deconfliction between squads is better than none.
• Good load up timing, stocking the Humvees was well done.
• Overall ambitious and fun operation!

Cons:

• Mortars were a crunch. We spent a lot of time sitting idle while IDF was blasting our positions.
• Low turnout in the squads could have warranted consolidating into 2 Rifle Squads instead of 3.
• Listen to your leaders. If they tell you to do something... do it then, not later. If they tell you to stop... stop.

Specialist Zaren.T

Pros:

• Good mission for BANSHEE.
• Great enter vehicle coordination.
• Destroyed (2) T-14 MBT, (4) IFV, (4) Helicopters, and infantry as needed.

Cons:

• Faction map markers is a pain.
• Vehicles ended up working independent from one another on OBJ 2 and OBJ 3.

 

[Auguste.B]

Element Callsign: BUFFALO-3
Element Leader: CW3 Villmarsson
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Private First Class Auguste.B

Pros:

Element Callsign: Gunslinger-2

Element Leader:
First Sergeant Westcott.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Second Lieutenant Vaughn.V
Sergeant Mendoza.R
Specialist Walker.TR


Pros:

• 4-man squad that performed like a fully manned section! Inter-teams comms were perfect, security was perfect. Well executed the entire op.
• Gun-2 performed vital Recon of AOI-2 that translated directly into an effective Platoon Hasty attack on the mortar and MBT positions.
• The Platoon net was both really good and effective and a complete mess tonight. The upward trend of SL-SL communication is fantastic and trending upwards. There are too many elements on the PLT net at vital points...mid-assaults.

Cons:

• My initial navigation of led the Platoon to the incorrect ORP position, but it turned out to be a happy little accident as the original ORP was being watched over by an MBT.
• The Vehicle/Infantry ratio of OPFOR seemed off this evening. Perhaps it was that Banshee was too effective!
• The OPORD briefed 2200z...but OP took place at mid-day.

Pros:

• GTL on net with Bradleys good
• fire commands and control was good
• Good security positions
• Effectively provided support by fire to the platoon

Cons:

• Our Bradley (with our ammo) did not stick with us at SBF position - need more careful synch so we can resupply effectively
• Could have moved to security position faster on OBJ-1 - once shift fire was complete.
• Carl G gunner needs to totally focus on that weapon system and be up at all times (not a rifleman) (we misssed our shot on an enemy PC coming in as QRF at OBJ 1)
  • PCCs PCIs were slow - I did not give clear direction and intent to the team leads, including which vehicle we would be mounting / loading

 

[Mackey.A]

Element Callsign: GUNSLINGER-6
Element Leader: Corporal Mackey.A
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Mackey.A


Pros:

• PLT was reactive to a situation that most definitely didn't go to plan.
• SL's were communicating and taking initiative
• Made the movement hit time.

Cons:

• Should of consolidated some of the squads so they had maximum numbers.
• Spent to long taking accurate IDF being walked into our position coming off the first objective. Resulted in the platoon medics suffering a mass cass on there position.
• 1 squad missed the pull back call and then took IDF on there location coming off the 1st objective.
• To many additional elements on one net as a result of not having an RTO and 6 and 5 forgetting to grab back pack radios.
