    Objectives:

    Support 3ID with transport, slingload and re-insertion

    Accidents:

    1x ISR Pred lost do to unforseen fuckery from ArmA

    Areas of Strength:

    Low waitingtime for reinsertion of infantry. Good flight planning.

    Areas of Weakness:

    Mount everest ramp in blackhawk hangers and no drones.

    Suggested Improvements:

    If we can have our hangar with blackhawks re-located (make the ramp lower) so we can extract the helicopters without blowing them up, that would make us more autonomous in regards to pre-mission preperation. Would also appriciate the possibility of ISR drones, to better be able to support groundelements, as we do have the time and capability to utilize both ISR and rotary-wing resources at the same time.

    Overall Outcome:

    Positive

    Summary:

    CW2 Beaudoin and WO1 Stain assisted the infantry platoon in their assult on objective Hazard and wippy. After inserting the platoon with 2 + 2 x strykers to LZ Baguette, 3CAB were on standby to reinserts. During the second insertion, Workhorse 1 piloted by Beaudoin took fire upon arrival to the LZ. Beaudoin swiftly got the stryker delivered and egressed to evade the incoming enemy fire, which ultimatly saved the airframe. Prior to the infantryplatoon commencing their final assult on objective wippy, we launched an ISR drone w/armament. The drone unfortunatley was lost due to unforseen flight-failiure outside the dronepilot's control, which caused the drone to nosedive into the ground. The rest of 3CABs flights went on without remarks. All in all a sucsessful mission.
