Crayter Military Reporting Facility

Incoming Transmission:::
Source; Warrant Officer Kyle Westridge
Subject; Colonial Forces Observation Report

Westridge here.

Before I begin on this particular report, I'd like to first state that there was no outside influence by any other Colonial officer on my decision on transmitting my observation and opinion and I will always hold any Colonial Officer the high respect they deserve, and anything to do with this report will not affect my duty to perform my duty and follow my orders.

I have been in and around most of our operation zones and have seen how different squadrons operate, for the whole day, and have been in multiple engagements all in different forms and functions. And while I might lack first-hand experience an operative capacity, I can however, compare.

And with all due respect to my superior officers in the engagements, almost all I saw was gross incompetence in tactical and strategical command as well as a blatant lack of desire or motive to better the cause. Compared to the older squadron and republican fleet, the current one is severely lacking in almost all fields. And while this is more specifically centered around the 49th, I've also noticed it another and even in the 17th, the supposedly CIS agents.

I have of course only noticed this after I enlisted into the Military and seen it for myself. At first I had thought it was an isolated event, a rare happening yet after checking numerous combat reports and relevant database files I have access to, I've noticed this has been continuing for a while.

And while I can't really form a real opinion on our forces' combat prowess I must say that we are lacking severely in terms of a tactical and strategical mindset. And my finding show that the reason is because we are too focused on fighting a real enemy, and while that might grant combat experience, it does not however teach our pilots how to fly with the rest. Mainly, we are lacking in flight drilling and instructions.

So my request is that Command reassesses our already-low training times and other instructor drills and update and reform them according to where we lack.

Westridge out.
