Element Callsign: Eagle-1
Element Leader:
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Ryan Langlois

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Recruit Taylor O'Brien

Pros:

• Overall mission plan/concept was outstanding
• Pre-Brief for aviation allowed for strike package to be planned out between fixed wing and if it wasn't for the lag that would have gone very smoothly with little assistance from ground forces.
• When ACRE went down the relaying of messages between assets went pretty well.

Cons:

• Heavy lag in the first half of the operation limited fixed wing to a snails pace in taking out assigned targets
• ACRE strikes again
• F/A-18E did not have any HEMMT vehicle at the start to allow us to load pylons or refuel.
