Critique After Action Review

“Can’t you people move any faster than that? You’ll never be the best section if you can’t get a round ready faster than third section. Jones, you’ve got to get the fuze cut quicker…” “But SGT…”

“I don’t want to hear it. You were too slow. Smith, when you hear the deflection, I want you traversing immediately and not swinging back and forth.”

“Chief, the net was in the way.”

“Then get someone to hold the net. Jones, when you hear the mission, get the net and hold it out of the way. Now let’s get it right this time.”

“Okay we were awfully slow that time. What happened?”

“Well SGT, Jones didn’t get the fuze set fast enough.” “What happened Jones?”

“I couldn’t find the M36 fuze setter, Chief.” “Where was it supposed to be?”

“I don’t know.”

“What tells you where to put the section equipment?” “Uh—the load plan?”

“Right. That’s why we have one now. Smith, what was the problem in getting on the deflection?” “I wasn’t sure which way to go and the net was in the way, Chief.”

“Well, the net we can fix by moving one support. Anybody knows how to help the gunner?” “Hey SGT, doesn’t it go left add, right subtract?’ “Yeah so….” “Well, if the deflection goes up then Smith would have to traverse left wouldn’t he?” “That’s right, so let’s see what we’ve learned and try it again.
