12 Aug 2022
Operation: Op Vital Stretch - The unusual CIA operatives from Operation Stove Turnip tasked Endgame Red with a psychological warfare operation: to locate four religious idols from the local tribespeople and use them to complete a ritual at altars scattered through the swamp. This would, they claimed, demonstrate US dominance and bring the local tribes back on-side (they having absconded with the weaponry supplied to win their affections to date). Unfortunately for Endgame Red, not only were the local tribespeople not keen to relinquish their idols, but the North Cheltenamese had sent Chelt Cong forces to secure the idols as well, and the People's Republic of Cambridge had sent a combat group as well, apparently not keen on their North Chelt allies from doing whatever they planned with the idols either. The CIA operatives, who were very slow-spoken, seemed keen for this all to be over, so that they could ask Roosevelt to let them come home, as they were especially curious to see if the war in Europe had been won yet and how the Normandy landings had gone.
Commendation: For picking up the enemy frequency and providing good intel stopping us all being mortared to death. And other things too, but mostly the not death was great. - by Admin

Reason: Awarded Bronze Star for air and ground actions in defence of AVRN positions in the Bra River Basin at considerable risk to his own life (by Admin)
Medal: Gallantry Cross with Gold Star
Reason: Awarded Gallantry Cross with Gold Star by South Chelt govt for air and ground actions in defence of AVRN positions in the Bra River Basin at considerable risk to his own life (by Admin)
Commendation: With a mixed force, assaulted and neutralised enemy positions putting accurate mortar fire onto the AVRN base. Scatter and group destroyed a far larger force and ended the mortar barrage. Scatter also called in numerous artillery strikes on enemy infantry concentrations allowing for the successful defense of the perimeter, often having rondo so under fire and at targets close to breaching the compound. - by Admin

Operation: Op Ardent Ripple - Endgame Red is assigned as the SANDY ground team to conduct Combat Search And Rescue for the Air Force in conjunction with Jolly Green Giants, Broncos and Skyraider "Spud" strike aircraft. Two CSAR missions completed; a pilot recovered from just north of Da Krong, and a dual-crew flight from the marshes of the Mekong Delta. All for only a relatively modest expenditure of US aircraft.
Medal: Mentioned in Despatches x4
Reason: AWARDED Mention in Dispatches for actions establishing non-verbal air support co-ordination measures during communications blackouts in Operation Ardent Ripple that allowed successful mission completion. (by Admin)
Commendation: Captain Norman J. Scatter, United States Air Force, distinguished himself by outstanding meritorious service as Forward Air Controller, 1st Platoon, Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines during Operation Ardent Ripple on 5 January 2024. While conducting forward air control in support of a joint personnel recovery operation, Captain Scatter lost all communications with other supporting CAS aircraft. With friendly forces heavily suppressed by North CheltNam fire, he quickly developed non-verbal fire support coordination measures. This enabled Air Force A-1 Skyraiders to provide emergency air strikes, providing essential air support during the operations most critical moments. His quick thinking ensured the survival and recovery of two downed aircrew, and the successful extraction of the entire team. The distinctive accomplishments of Captain Scatter reflect great credit upon himself, the United States Air Force, and the Department of Defense. - by Admin

Operation: Op Beholder Virtue - Two further CSAR missions, one pilot down and taken to a small Chelt village, from where we had to rescue him, and one pilot down on what will forever be known as The Island Of Bastards and Mountains, where we had to try to get a Jolly Green pickup on an island with 3 square inches of flat land.
Medal: Air Force Achievement Medal (2 Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters)
Reason: AWARDED Cluster to their Air Force Achievement Medal (AFFAM) for effective FAC operations despite extremely difficult terrain conditions in the North East Island Chains during Operation Beholder Virtue. (by Admin)
Commendation: Providing accurate close air support, preventing EGR, who had become fragmented, from being overwhelmed piecemeal. Scatter also directed ground elements accurately onto the key objectives allowing for medical attention to be applied in a timely manner and allowing the downed pilots to be rescued alive. - by Admin

Operation: Op Clean Blanket - SAR Ops. Scramble 1: Two pilots ejected over the river bend north of Keng Lat. One pilot KIA, one recovered by Endgame Red and extracted. Scramble 2: Single pilot shot down over San Bay Ban, chute landed on the coastline SW of the airfield. Pilot recovered by Endgame Red. Two Jolly Greens and Sandy-1 shot down, crew recovered by Endgame Red.
Medal: Air Medal (1 Silver Oak Leaf Cluster)
Reason: AWARDED Cluster to their Air Medal (AM) for courageous daring in establishing necessary aerial sight lines to allow effective air operations during Operation Clean Blanket. (by Admin)
Commendation: Captain Scatter showed great situational awareness and demonstrated a high level of ability in guiding strike aircraft to targets while deconflicting airspace, marking targets and coordinating with ground forces and allied RW assets. His actions and competence were instrumental in saving friendly lives and ending enemy ones. - by Admin
Commendation: I'm Romeo to everyone else, but Foxtrot to him. Besides that, Capt Scatter's airborne co-ordination in complex, dynamic, missions ensures all forcees, both ground and air, have the required situational awareness for a successful evolution. Without his eyes in the sky, the ground forces would be unable to offer such a fine example of cross-service co-operation that our pilots in need have grown to expect. ADDITIONAL: Capt Scatter also, singlehandedly, prevented a Skyraider from crash landing onto the runway at Maxwell due to his sharp eyes and quick thinking in noticing a critical issue with the pilot's approach, saving like a life, an airframe, operational up-time and resources, as well as gallons of valuable aviation fuel. - by Admin

Operation: Op Vanity Snob - SAR Ops. Scramble 1: A4 pilot crashed in a mountain valley north of Hue, near medium mobile AAA battery on plateau, pilot ejected.

Scramble 2: Two ejected pilots linked up during E&E and took shelter in a shop in Attapeu before it was occupied by a CC Main Force with light armour and vehicle support. Both pilots recovered successfully, Covey-1 shot down but recovered from the site successfully.
Commendation: For courageous daring, ensuring the Airforce always hits its mark. Be that by rocket, bomb or Bronco. - by Admin

Operation: Op Sneaky Guard - Scramble 1: Pilot in the air 1-2 km east of Ban Len. Landed east of MSS Leghorn and fled east while the squad rambled a little. Scramble 2: F-111 crashed 3M W of Phao Noi, in the immediate vicinity of Thud Ridge. SEAD suppressed the SAM site, with Sandy flight continuing to rain down fire on it, but Sandy 2 was hit and crashed and has been captured by the Chelt. The pilots of the F-111 were recovered successfully although Jolly-2 was damaged enough to need to perform a forced landing and the squad left the AO on Jolly-1.
Commendation: Despite obvious damage to his aircraft, kept directing TACAIR in support of both ground element and additional downed aircrew. - by Admin

16 Feb 2024
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.
Medal: Citation Denied
Reason: CITATION DENIED for actions during Operation Ecology Ephemeris. (by Admin)
Commendation: Mr Scatter didn't have nothing to do with the deaths of the pilots in the Convoym he was telling me how the entire thing got away from him and the air support was just strafing whatever they wanted, Also the Helicopters flew right into a heavily defended Anti aircarft position despite his clear instructions for them to destroy thoes positions, really none of it was his fault. - by Admin

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: Air Force Combat Action Medal (1 Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster)
Reason: AWARDED Cluster to their Air Force Combat Action Medal (AFCAM) for providing on-site artillery support, vibes, and close combat defence of the position in the A Lau firebase during operation Ego Aferthought. (by Admin)
Commendation: Working concert with another EGR team member Scatter provided accurate and timely mortar fire, danger close to the FOB that blunted a number of EI attacks. Without this artillery support the FOB would have been over run At one point Scatter personally defended his mortar position at close quarters from enemy forces that had breached the perimeter. Once both mortars were functional Scatter then fought on the front line of the base defense, being wounded and refusing to leave the line. - by Admin
Commendation: Fire mission: Vibes. Repeat. - by Admin
Commendation: Captain Scatter was so good on this ground Op! he says he hates being on the ground but he really showed his mettle here, he offered onvaluable advice to the chain of command, on the spot Fire support from the in base mortars (despite not being trained on this model and lacking a rang card) and i personally witnessed him kill multiple Chelt that had infiltrated the base in one case saving the medics. If you ask me he should be transferred to the infantry, he was so good! - by Admin

Operation: Op Tofu Wafer - Insert by air at grid 031055, where three LZs had been cleared by COMMANDO VAULT drops, defend the area against Chelt assaults and construct a firebase. It'll be fine.
Medal: Air Force Achievement Medal (3 Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters)
Reason: For tireless efforts in coordinating artillery and air support to prevent Endgame Red being overrun multiple times during Operation Tofu Wafer. (by Admin)
Commendation: Without Captain Scatter's tireless efforts to coordinate artillery and air support, we'd have been overrun multiple times. Multiple MORE times. And then he also shot a couple of bad guys when they got close too. Make the man a marine already! - by Admin

Operation: Op Super Directive - Insert (hur hur hur) in the North of North ChelteNam, to extract Mystic Badger from one of three enemy POW camps.
Commendation: I would like to bring attention to Captain Scatter's excellent work in calling in numerous fire missions. all of the fire missions involved 16-inch guns with most at ranges well within danger close radius, despite this, only one round landed close to the squad in a position that could have caused casualties. Captin scatter's use of the fire support was vital in allowing the squad to deal with many of the threats we encountered on the mission. - by Admin

Operation: Op Reclaim Hound - Patrol to the south of Dak Pek base, taking out any AA in the area to allow a heavy lift helo in, then mount a radio antenna on the hill near Tonk’s Doghouse and defend it from enemy attack.
Medal: Air Force Achievement Medal (1 Silver Oak Leaf Cluster)
Reason: For actions directing timely artillery and air support to engage enemy forces at danger close ranges while administering life-saving medical aid during Operation Reclaim Hound. (by Admin)
Commendation: Mr Scatter Sir mortared the shit out of a load of trees that were hiding a whole load more Chelt. That and while he was my buddy he administered life saving medical aid while routing radio traffic regarding various mission elements. - by Admin
Commendation: Whilst under fire, prevented US positions being overrun by directing timely accurate artillery and air support to engage enemy forces at danger close ranges with extreme accuracy. Scatters actions neutralised several large groupings of enemy forces before they were able to overrun the squad and gave time for squad members to react to multiple threats and extract their wounded. Further more Scatter ensured the extraction of a downed pilot from enemy capture. - by Admin

Medal: Air Medal (1 Silver Oak Leaf Cluster, 1 Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster)
Reason: For successful defeat of a hostile aircraft that had been dropping high explosive ordnance on Endgame Red during Operation Required Bullying. (by Admin)
Commendation: Tried to be a BGH (big damn hero) and stay with the stranded Marines. Was helpful in calling in a rescue. - by Admin
Commendation: Mr Scatter Sir took down a hostile aircraft that had been dropping high explosive ordinance on the squad. I believe it's his first air to air kill, which for the Air Force is a big thing. He did great, and they should let us decide his callsign for him. - by Admin

Operation: Op Speeding Sickness - 2 x SAR in the vicinity of OP Pyle. 1 x F-100 Super Soaker, pilot recovered. 1 x something with two seats (2 A-1 Skyraiders, you heathens - Scatter), both pilots (even Jeremy) recovered.
Medal: Bronze Star Medal (1 Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster)
Reason: For pressing his FAC Bronco into a direct CAS role to protect the SAR team on the ground following the loss of the primary CAS aircraft; during this time the team were engaged by hostile fast air which he immediately engaged despite the clear threat to his airframe by engaging in air combat maneuvering with a superior aircraft, and finding himself too close for other weapon systems, switched to guns and gave chase, driving it off from further effective ground attacks until such time that friendly fast air was on station during Operation Speeding Sickness.

Commendation: During CAS operations, following the loss of the primary CAS aircraft Scatter pressed his FAC Bronco into a direct CAS role to protect the SAR team on the ground. During this time the team were engaged by hostile fast air. Scatter immediately engaged, finding himself too close for other weapon systems, switching to guns. He gave chase to the enemy aircraft and was clearly able to drive it off from further effective ground attacks until such time that friendly fast air was on station. While managing 4 radios. - by Admin
Commendation: Provided accurate coordination of air resources, at points continuing to do so in a hostile airspace. Scatter engaged targets of opportunity himself where possible when dedicated strike assets were unavailable and stayed on station even when engaged by hostile air. Scatter also provided timely intel that led to the successful rescue (alive) of several downed aircrew over the course of the operation. - by Admin

Operation: Op Normal Turf - Rescue Space-o the space dog!
Medal: Silver Star Medal
Reason: For his instrumental role and heroic actions during the rescue of Space-O the Wonder Dog from the perfidious grasp of communism, rising to the challenge of simultaneous co-ordination of heavy lift slinging, direct forward air control, forward observation and ground combat, remaining exposed in position during heavy and aggressive massed assaults by Chelt forces making use of machine gun and armour to use danger close fires and close air support to blunt the attacks until the rescue operation could be completed during Operation Normal Turf. (by Admin)
Commendation: Capt Scatter, United States Air Force, distinguished himself with conspicuous gallantry as a FAC, 1st Platoon, Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines during Operation Normal Turf on 23 June 2024. With the entire Platoon suppressed by a Battalion sized enemy force, Capt Scatter bravely exposed himself to enemy fire in order to bring in Close Air Support. These airstrikes enabled 1st Platoon to rescue sPACE-O, a national treasure, at a critical juncture in his rescue. The distinctive accomplishments of Capt Scatter reflect great credit upon himself, the United States Air Force, and the Department of Defense. - by Admin
Commendation: Captain Scatter was instrumental in the daring rescue of Space-O The Wonder dog from the perfidious grasp of communism. During the rescue effort, at great personal risk, The Captain rose the the challenge of simultaneous co-ordination of heavy lift slinging, direct forward air control, forward observation and ground based combat. The Captain remained in position during heavy and aggressive massed assault by Chelt forces making use of machine gun and armour in their attempts to kidnap the Wonder Dog. Captain Scatter's timely use of danger close fires and air support during a broken arrow call surely held the chelt tide back long enough to win the day. Further to the above, Captain Scatter, in his role as FAC, successfully directed air assets engage and destroy at least 4 hostile maritime vessels which were AA capable. - by Admin

Medal: Air Medal (1 Silver Oak Leaf Cluster, 2 Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters)
Reason: AWARDED Star to his Air Medal (AM) for FAC operations in support of platoon movements to rescue downed airmen, enabling the unit to cover a wider area of search without being interdicted by large numbers of hostile blocking forces during Operation Old Dingo. (by Admin)
Commendation: Made some sick bombing runs, especially when some of us were on the ground trying to rescue Pvt Tubular - by Admin
Commendation: Stunning Air support - by Admin
Commendation: As well as providing accurate FAC of the airspace, acted as a spotter of enemy concentrations and used own initiative to aid in keeping ERG from being overwhelmed. Scatter's use of air assets to cover several movement bounds by EGR allowed the team to maintain tempo and maneuver to extract downed friendlies in the knowledge that air support was on call and able to shield them from converted enemy attack. Without this coordination it is unlikely WGR would have been able to extract the number of friendlies they did and their safe evacuation by Help is in doubt due to the likelihood of the LZ being overrun by superior numbers of EI in the area. - by Admin

Operation: Op Weeping Ring - Garrison the fire base at Khe Gio through a series of North Chelt assaults over several days. Then, move up to the west to retake the village of Lang Mau and the river crossing beyond.
Medal: Bronze Star Medal (2 Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters)
Reason: AWARDED Star to his Bronze Star Medal (BSM) for bravery and diligence in leaving the safety of the perimeter of Khe Gio firebase in order to search for and call in fires onto enemy artillery that was hammering the defensive line, doing so while under fire and close assault from enemy infantry, suffering multiple wounds while doing so in defiance of cheesemongering communist forces during Operation Weeping Ring. (by Admin)
Commendation: With the firebase he was assigned to under sustained artillery bombardment, Scatter left the safety of the perimeter and proceeded into enemy territory. There, under fire and close assault from enemy infantry, Scatter spotted for air and artillery assets resulting in the destruction of the enemy artillery and maintenance of the viability of the firebase. In doing so the main blue force defensive line was maintained and the enemy push south stalled, thus saving the western world from almost certain collapse. Scatter displayed bravery in the face of personal danger, dedication to the mission and focus that inspired his accompanying marine escort to fight through a strong force of enemy infantry in order to recover his wounded body, after he sustained wounds calling in the attack that finally neutralised the threat. - by Admin

Reason: AWARDED Star to his Air Medal (AM) for aerial recon activity during convoy operations, providing critical intel of multiple enemy ambush forces and blocking positions any of which might have stalled or eliminated the vital supply vehicles during Operation Lawn Preserver. (by Admin)
Commendation: At key moments provided critical intel regarding enemy ambush positions on the route that vehicles would not have spotted until within the kill box. This included emplaced heavy machine guns placed to fire on the rear of the convoy once it had passed, enemy sappers placing mines at a critical junction and a motorised blocking force with supporting heavy weapons. Any of these forces could have rendered the convoy unable to continue. - by Admin

(by Admin)
Commendation: After our Ah-1 Cobra was shoot down by enemy fast air and my gunner and I were left mortally wounded in the wreck, Captain Scatter heroically and courageously risked his own life to attempt to rescue us. Captain Scatter landed his OH-6 Cayuse close to our crash site, exited his aircraft to pull us both from the wreck, he gave us medical aid and then loaded us into his aircraft that as he started to power back up came under close assault from enemy forces. Captain Scatter successfully lifted off under fire and returned us to the friendly airbase where we received additional medical aid. without Captain scatters swift action we likely would have been captured or even killed. - by Admin

(by Admin)
Medal: Mentioned in Despatches x7
Reason: AWARDED Mention in Dispatches (MID) for using their innate Air Force aura to attract the attention of the tracking systems of an SA-2 missile system, allowing the marine riflemen to spot and engage it in thick jungle cover during Operation Content Carrot. (by Admin)

Commendation: Consistently precise use of mortars and artillery to suppress and blind the enemy during multiple occassions, chiefly during the first failed assault on the enemy encampment and resulting medical treatment. - by Admin
Commendation: Scatters calling in of artillery and air strikes at point in the mission were craitical in the success of the operation. - by Admin
Commendation: For Taking the initiative to carpet bomb a key location and supress enemy forces long enough for Medical to deal with wounded and reinstate force organisation and the continuation of the mission - by Admin
Commendation: Follow his actions during this operation it is my opinion that the Major's talents are utterly wasted on the airforce. Major Scatter demonstrated exception skill at arms throughout the operation, using his strange smg to great effect. I personally witnessed him neutralise a number of chelt with great accuracy and aggression, more befitting a member of God's own service. However, it is his actions towards the end of the operation I must specifically commend. The squad had become pinned during an assault on an SA2 position by a previously unseen enemy force who were dug in at the top of a steep hill. I moved to engage this enemy position to buy the squad time to regroup, that's nothing special its what I'm meant to do, however, The Major the stated that he was coming with me to assault the enemy position, and confirmed he understood the risk and likelihood of success. Major Scatter the assaulted the position in a manner that would have made Chesty proud, continuing the action after I became injured in the fight and coordinating with other squad members. Truly a marine's airman. - by Admin
Commendation: Accurate and timely control of artillery/air assets to support several assaults against enemy fortifications, shield EGR withdrawal from enemy QRF. Scatter acted with courage in putting himself in harms way to accurately guide ordnance onto target and utilised non-standard (for mission) air assets to screen the withdrawal of the squad after mission completion. Scatter also commited to close action assaults, at one point being engaged at close range by enemy guided ordnance as the squad assaulted a heavily defended SA2 position. - by Admin

Medal: Air Force Achievement Medal (1 Silver Oak Leaf Cluster, 3 Bronze Oak Leaf Clusters)
Reason: AWARDED Star to his Air Force Achievement Medal (AFAM) for directing accurate fires from distant batteries onto hostile targets during the defense of the medical station at Bo Lieu in Operation Pink Bush. These fires, conducted despite being frequently under heavy fire to gauge fall of shot and when exposed to provide intel on enemy forces crossing the river, not only acted to shield the objective and blunt several enemy attacks, but also opened battlespace for USMC forces to manoeuvre successfully to counter attack enemy pushes from other directions. (by Admin)
Commendation: For Great work Coordinating support and artillery strikes throughout the mission AO and giving us vital breathing room in major assaults - by Admin
Commendation: Whilst under heavy fire Scatter on multiple occasions directed to pinpoint accurate fire from distant batteries on target that not only shielded the objective but blunted numerous counter attacks, allowing EGR to maneuver and take the fight to the enemy. In addition Scatter placed himself in harms way under the sight of enemy guns to deliver critical intel movements of enemy forces crossing the river to attack the objective. This allowed the limited forces available to react and engage the enemy before they had a chance to establish themselves and attack. - by Admin

He accurately placed his rockets, and deleted the enemy machinegun thereby saving EGR. Following this, he accurately placed rockets through a 2 meter tall doorway destroying an enemy machinegun position inside a rock fortress in Kate.

EGR discovers a major Chelt Cong supply cache on a heavily mined peninsula, suppresses and is suppressed by a flak position, has an unpleasant tangle with a recoilless on a hilltop and discovers the temporary command post of the North Cheltnamese Inland Navy's local commander, Admiral Khazi.
Commendation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the United States Air Force. During a critical engagement as part of Operation Modern Lunchmeat, Major Scatter demonstrated exceptional situational awareness and unwavering courage when he identified an imminent threat—the approach of a PT-76 light tank targeting Marine squad End Game Red. Recognizing the danger posed to the Marines and their mission, Major Scatter voluntarily exposed himself to extreme risk by maneuvering his Bronco into a highly hazardous environment multiple times. Despite the intense threat from enemy fire and the inherent dangers of close air support, Major Scatter executed multiple attack runs directly over the tank, employing precision tactics to neutralize the threat. His daring actions resulted in the destruction of the enemy vehicle, preventing it from annihilating the Marine squad and ensuring the safety of the marines he was tasked to support.
