Pros

• Fantastic communication all around; we had a whale of a blast, one of the funnest ops people have joined in a while
• The example of mechanised infantry
• great coordination as well with other elements
• "We had 2 PFC, a PVT, a RTC, and a CPL, and we kicked ass." - 1LT Mickinley

Cons

Pros

• Awesome execution and really fun operation
• LeFoch and Wolf were killers as FTLs and really enjoy working with them
• Had some excellent forward bases that were extremely effective.

Cons

• We had a couple of mass cass events that maye have been avoided with a bit better leadership on my end
• The intial position I choose to defend was flawed and missed the main enemy attack, so in hindsight should have set-up a better fighting position location.

Pros

• Very well constructed Op.

• Lots of great action and fighting.
• INF + MBT Battle Groups were intentionally formed, and it was awesome to see them collaborate, and great to hear that everyone / each MOS enjoyed that.
• Having to manage the logistics with such high amounts of ammunition expenditure was a blast.

Cons

• None

• No man was left behind.
• The unit... fought, recovered and reconsolidated on numerous occasions.

Cons

• Over pressure caused by our light armor lead to casualties when we had a defensive cordon set for them to heal up.
• Some issues with FPS by some troopers due to the amount of enemies.
• Some of the troopers didn't like the German gunplay.

Element Callsign: Iron 1
Element Leader: Sergeant Moe.J

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Corporal Von Knispel.K
Specialist Carrasco.J

Pros

• Great work between Infantry and Armor, especially Eagle 1 and Iron 1
• Even though the driver and gunner were new to Squad Armor techniques, they were very receptive to instruction and showed great enthusiasm in taking up the reigns.
• OIC's plan worked spectacularly and did not need much improvisation when things went awry.

Cons

• Getting Zeus killed because we were doing to well was understood yet definitely annoying.
