Observations:

Intelligence Failure: Initial intel on enemy presence in Priutnoye was inaccurate.
Aggressive Maneuver: The original task force commander's approach to Priutnoye may have been overly aggressive, contributing to heavy casualties.
Disorganized Response: 2nd Squad's refusal to advance hampered overall effectiveness.
Lack of Reinforcements: Battalion's refusal to send reinforcements significantly hindered the task force's ability to achieve the objective.
Recommendations:

Improve communication and intelligence gathering between scouting elements and command staff.
Emphasize measured tactics and prioritize force preservation.
Ensure clear lines of communication and establish protocols for requesting reinforcements.
Conduct a thorough investigation into the battalion's decision not to reinforce the task force.
Additional Notes:

A new operation to retake Priutnoye is planned within the next 48 hours. Lessons learned from this engagement should be incorporated into future planning and execution.
