Element Callsign: Bandit-5
Element Leader: Master Sergeant Willson.JA

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Recruit Miranda.M

Pros:

  • 38 out of the 41 troopers reached the ground with the new parachute mod.
  • Platoon comms were very active throughout the operation and without pause.
  • Squad Leads called up contact reports quickly to platoon leadership.
  • RCT.Miranda.M was on top of it tonight and was a great addition to the platoon as a helios asset.
  • Platoon was quick to give ACE reports at the beginning of the operation.
  • 4th squad was on top of their SBF positions and was swift to engage contact
  • 2IC's were on top of taking over their squads when the SL was down.


Cons:
  • Radio comms with the air assets were lacking due to an in-game issue, to no fault of the pilots.
  • Resupplying the platoon became difficult and time-consuming due to a lack of supplies at the objectives and the need to move supplies from our air assets, which were also running reinserts.
  • Half of the platoon was dropped south of the dz.
  • Movement was slowed by radio comms with our air assets.
  • Some of the platoon comms needed to be more on 50.2.

Element Callsign: Bandit-7
Element Leader: Master Sergeant Zimm.L
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Master Sergeant Zimm.L
Corporal Johnsen.M

Pros:

  • Fun op, Cool to be able to see everything going on since it was a more open map
  • Parachute were simply and worked for us
  • Zero black tags under medic care
  • Good call out from the CLS on 63.0

Cons:
  • Game Master healed a critically injured trooper we were working on when we got the the DZ
  • Comms issues with Raider and Raven
  • We had to run long distances to heal troopers and get them back up which increases the down time for the trooper
  • There was a issue with troopers floating 20 to 30 feet off the ground after hitting the DZ
  • Squad leads need to check the map and make there own decision to maneuver on there own but let 6 know what they are doing
  • Saw a lot of sky lining over hills

Pros:

  • The supply Raven was only utilized one time through out the entirety of the operation

Pros:
  • Great to have Airborne Operation back. Brings me back good memory. Definitely would be interested to do the more often in the future.
  • Platoon Communication was flawless
  • Many more targets for acquisition, much wow actions!

Cons:
  • Little bit more emphasis on rear security.
  • If you have an attachment to your squad, please make sure to check on them like you check your squad members.
  • Overall, slightly slower pace of actions for Chaos-1 and Raider-1 in the beginning of the operation.

Element Leader: First Sergeant Westcott.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:

Staff Sergeant Crowley.T
Corporal Howe.T
Corporal Wagner.D
Specialist Zaren.T
Specialist Thoren.J
Specialist Valiante.M
Specialist Reed.JH
Specialist Xinos.T
Private Quinn.A

Pros:
  • AIRBORNE IS BACK BABY! Bandit-1 no casualties and was the 1st squad on the DZRP! Great work by the Troopers paying attention during the briefs and conducting the evolution correctly.
  • Man...what a squad! FTL's just on point. Individual Trooper discipline on point. Trigger discipline and waiting for FTL fire commands on point. Great movements to avoid skylining and to stay in defilade. Only .5 Red tags (Trooper fell off a rock) and 0 black tags due to proper execution of the fundamentals.
  • Great comms with PLT and other Element leads, proper shift/lift fire protocols executed w/B4.

Cons:
  • Improper maintaining of DZRP security led to a B1 trooper being shot in the back due to a squad on rear security shooting over/through B1's lines.
  • At 1 point I was prone with a security element performing a Leaders Recon of our movement before cresting a ridgeline...looked 100m to our right and there was nearly an entire Section just standing on the ridgeline skylining with their binos out.
  • Trigger discipline was kind of a problem this evening. B1 was in at least 3 situations where we were holding fire waiting for a situation with observed OPFOR to develop before engaging....only to have that OPFOR fired upon by another element that was far from a good engagement position.
  • Airborne Ops should be conducted with Global Supplies turned off due to the nature of being behind enemy lines and not having a proper supply chain.
