Jae Lee's Unedited First Person Perspectives
1LT J. N. Lee:
It was indeed amazing, and I'm sure if you were to pray to our god and saviour SSG Meliusorjustmessagehim you'll have a better chance at getting into one of these than just watching :D.
1LT J. N. Lee:
Field Training Exercise 05-18 was a Rapid Response Planning Process exercise, in which we were briefed in the field of our mission and reacted accordingly. In this FTX the objective was to rescue a BLUFOR POW in a dense urban environment.

1LT J. N. Lee:
This month's platoon training was focused on assaulting an OPFOR-held airstrip, which is totally not a spoiler to what our actual mission will be when we get deployed *nudge* *nudge* *wink* *wink*.
My voice volume was a little low for this one, should be fixed for Havoc 3's first operation this weekend.

D. ROUTES
Air insert to AO via Chinnook towards the shoreline North of the town of Lolisse, then traveled South through friendly-controlled territory, passing through mountainous terrain and open valleys until we reached contact.
Key terrain: Pegasus Airfield, Lolisse (town), Mont Chauvo (OBJ Alpha).
Terrain composition: Shoreline, town, mountains, valleys, sparse forests.
F. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
OPFOR had long range radio backpacks similar to our own, which when combined with low light conditions that made it difficult to PID. Twice in the operation we had to refrain from engaging OPFOR infantry units with said backpacks until we either got close enough to PID, or they shot at us first.

1x BMP-3

I. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The fire team did an excellent job responding to short & concise orders even without context or explanations, however 3-2 Bravo should still work on acknowledging said orders to provide Bravo Actual with confirmation that they are carrying out their duties and/or still conscious.

TRAINING CONDUCTED
Havoc 3-2 had a 3IC day, where we went over the basics of fire and maneuver, and reacting to contacts with our 3ICs acting as team leads and squad lead. At the beginning of the training, we went over Havoc 3 SOP regarding load outs and conducted a load out check. We then had a small PID course regarding the BM-21 and to avoid identifying soft targets as armoured vehicles. We also discussed if an armoured target is not engaging us then we should refrain from using our AT, as another squad may already be in the process of using their AT, as well as going over the purpose of the COC. For the live fire portion Havoc 3-2 was tasked with assaulting and clearing out a fortified position uphill, then moving to an extract point and holding it until Phoenix Light arrives.
COMMENTS
Except for a few hiccups at the beginning of the live fire portion due to inexperience, Havoc 3-2 quickly picked up speed and carried out the mission almost identically to our usual manner when the 1ICs were still in charge. The squad moved and cleared out all contacts on our way towards the extract point at a brisk pace, although reporting and dealing with casualties can still be improved upon. Overall, Havoc 3-2's squad training tonight was exceptional considering the inexperience of the fire team leaders, which at the rate we're improving will no longer be a problem in the near future.
