Pros:

• Good amount of work to do

• Performance was poor, constant ping spikes and packet loss even during the AAR when everyone was spread out and no AI was spawned

Element Callsign: Bandit-7
Element Leader: Corporal Johnsen.M
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: Corporal Yota.G

Pros:

• FTX was good, ran sorta smooth for the most part
• Did unorthodox marking of LZs for Bandit-5 with IR strobes.

Cons:

• Troopers need to learn when to pick up and when to drag a casualty. Most of the time just pick them up and carry instead of drag unless it's less than 3m distance.
• When 7 says drop the casualty just drop him. Same goes for security, we don't need troopers walking over the pax and moping around, we've gotta our job and squads got theirs. We are healing, they are fighting and pulling security.
• When ready too move form the convoy up. Make it make sense and "Make it nice; not twice."

 

[Smith.DM]

Element Callsign: Bandit-5
Element Leader: Staff Sergeant Smith.DM
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: N/A

Pros:

• Overall operation was cool, concept was awesome
• Good comms with Buff-1 dealing with inserts / ISR and on the final OBJ CAS
• Good overall communication with company staff
• Bandit squad movement was good
• Security was good for the most part despite having a lot of ground with not a lot of troopers
• First time acting as 5 in any official capacity, and it was fun
• bandit-7 was very responsive

Cons:

• Packet loss / ping issues
• Convoy movement could use some work, partially my fault for not planning it out more thoroughly
• Definitely need to work on my capabilities as 5. Need to communicate ACE reports more often
• Final convoy movement to the last OBJ, almost all plt leadership elements were in the same vic... oops

[Borenstein.B]

Element Callsign: MISFIT-5
Element Leader: Sergeant First Class Borenstein.B

Pros:

• Fun time
• got to use the word quadrilateral for the first time in 15 years

Cons:

• Despawns. I spent like 30 minutes loading gear into a bunch of vehicles and they just disappeared after dismounts. Same thing happened in the OP a couple weekends ago with the backpacks buffalo brought me. Makes resupply job frustrating. Idk if there's something we can do about this but it would be nice.

Element Callsign: Misfit-7
Element Leader: Corporal Vonk.K
7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element: Staff Sergeant McAllen.J

Pros:

• FTX was good, ran smooth for the most part
• Lots of medical for Misfit 7/10 casualties reintegrated.

Cons:

• If the Mk19 is such a big problem we shouldn't use it
• Misfit 1 didnt have a cls but Misfit 3 had two. The slotting of personnel prior to op needs work.
