Operation: Op Ecology Ephemeris - OP1: Is Death Better than the Taunton Travelodge? Endgame Red attempted to intercept a convoy of POWs being taken through CC controlled South Cheltenam across the border into North Cheltenam where they would then be unrecoverable until after the war. Unfortunately, anti-aircraft fire shot down both USMC helicopters despite air support from TACAIR, and in the ensuing running battle the convoy was intercepted but destroyed during the combat, killing the POWs. Endgame Red were successfully extracted by the US Army Air Corps who provided a recovery helicopter on short notice from a nearby FOB. OP2: Don't let the Intel get Moist During the return to home base, Endgame Red were diverted to support a 'special forces' operation on a thickly jungled island off the coast of South Cheltenam, recovering several suitcases of 'Intel' from CC hands on behalf of the less than charismatic special forces liaison officer. The use of Naval Gunfire support from the nearby destroyed USS Henderson led to operational success, but the island and its villages were left ablaze as Endgame Red returned to Maxwell Field for the mission debrief.

Operation: Op Ego Afterthought - Evaluated as the 14th (out of 18) most effective CSAR unit on the roster, and not curently enjoying the favour of either the USMC or USAF, Endgame Red was deployed by helicopter to Firebase A Luoi in the A Shau valley. Tasked to overwatch the main North-South MSR and protect passing traffic, they disrupted Chelt operations in the area through two nights and one day, allowing the safe passage of five US convoys for the loss of one vehicle.
Medal: Mentioned in Despatches
Reason: AWARDED Mention in Dispatches (MID) for excellence in construction and upgrade of firebase defences during Operation Ego Afterthought. (by Admin)
Commendation: Wilbur upgraded the garrison defences with additional protection vastly reducing the severity of incoming fire during the operation. The defensive position constructed atop the central bunker was of particular note, as it was built with a keen eye that allowed excellent fire arcs while still providing great protection. - by Admin

Operation: Op Solid Ambassador - Search to the East of the A Shau Valley to try seek and destroy a fortified Chelt Camp.
Medal: Air Force Combat Action Medal
Reason: AWARDED Air Force Combat Action Medal (AFCAM) for actions in securing routes to safe ground during long-range recoilless bombardement during Operation Solid Ambassador. (by Admin)
Commendation: Excellent tactical awareness, including taking on responsibility when we were under fire from the recoilless to get us the fuck out of there. - by Admin
Commendation: Despite being an Air Force puke, SrA Wilbur has shown himself to be a calm head in combat, and a reliable lad to have around in the mud. He missed his calling as a Marine, and I fully intend to replace one of his MREs with a pack of crayons. I hear thats how it works, like the old naval shillings in the bottom of tankards? - by Admin
