## After Action Report (AAR)
This mission is an absolute disaster. I cannot think of how much our enemies turn this in the press. Major [[Cranson]]’s leadership during this mission is very questionable, I am starting to wonder just who he is working for.
I think you need to look at this unit’s contract and maybe make changes. Many of the other units in the GSF are not willing to work under Major [[Cranson]]’s leadership. Ordering a hot drop from a civilian transport, what was he thinking? Due to these and other command choices, many of the troops in the other GSF units do not trust his ability to lead. Due to his commands major equipment losses have happened on this mission. His own unit lost a major asset, and he also has two other units that will be down for some time. The [[Ironborn]] lost vehicle and will have a Battlemech down for repairs for months. Winters Dream lost a vehicle, and [[Kiah’s Hammers]] has one of that units’ best warriors and Battlemech out of service for many months. That unit also has a vehicle that will be out of service for some time as well.
I also question the commander of the Valkyries as well. This commander sent a green pilot on a very important mission. This pilot could have caused more harm to the mission.
The fact that the production of plant seven will be down for the foreseen future is a major blow to Nijero’s safety. The loss of the heavy vehicles and the firepower they could have provided is beyond measure.
