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.

Commendation: Shit hot delivery of warheads on foreheads by Sandy 2. I always had confidence that he maintained situational awareness of my position as well as friendly and enemy positions on the ground. Very accurate air to ground delivery of ordnance, and improvised effective procedures when we lost PRC-77 contact, allowing us to continue to use the Spud's firepower effectively even without radios. - by Admin

Commendation: Provided accurate and sustained fire allowing EGR to make a difficult crossing across a rope bridge, rescued a downed colleague and brought them to treatment under fire - by Admin

Operation: Op Oblong Cartoon - Sar Mission 1: rescue a pilot from a crash site NW of Lang Voi while clearing a hostile village and avoiding massive Chelt flak sites. Sar Mission 2: 2 seater down in the village of Hinlap but a large Chelt force is pushing from the north. One catch, 100+ enemy are hot on your heels and the air is getting spicy. Go get our boys!

Medal: Mentioned in Despatches

Reason: For rescuing a downed pilot by swimming through infested waters and climbing an exposed rock under suppressive fire to recover the pilot and returning them to the bank during Operation Oblong Cartoon. (by Admin)

Commendation: Whilst under direct fire, the marine located the crew of a downed aircraft, swam to an exposed rock, recovered a downed pilot then ensured the pilots safety as they escorted them to land. Through it all Pyron was under plunging fire from enemy overlooking the extraction point. - by Admin

Operation: Op Trivial Bandolier - Endgame Red was deployed to assault the town of Kok, which had been strengthened and reinforced such that it was once again that Cheltenamese Kok was a danger to all passers by, spreading a miasma of zider into the surrounding regions. The town itself was a feint to draw in attackers, but despite the pre-placed defences, Endgame Red managed to take all of Kok despite discomfort and some bloody situations. Realising that in truth the size of Kok was just a myth, the squad redeployed north to find the zider store. Despite some violations / desecrations of several religious sites, the storage dump was found and destroyed, although this provoked a forest fire which then obliterated the surrounding area including a big fiery Kok. Realising that they had found intel for the location of the district central distribution point, this was also assaulted and destroyed.

Status: Dead

Medal: Silver Star Medal

Reason: For single-handed preventing the movement of a squad of Chelt Cong outnumbering him six to one by means of a furious and brutal close-range engagement that left him unconscious and grievously wounded, stopping the Chelt from flanking and overrunning the unit medical station dealing with a critical mass casualty situation during Operation Trivial Bandolier. (by Admin)

Commendation: during the assault on Kok, I was in the process of trying to locate PFC Pyro who we had lost contact with. upon finding him from what I could tell from the bodies scattered around him he had been involved in a furious and brutal close-range engagement with a squad Chelt numbering between 6-10 and while he was rendered unconscious and grievously wounded from this assault. he did seem to manage to prevent their movement which if left unchecked would have left them in a position to flank and likely overwhelm the medical station that was dealing with a critical mass casualty situation. - by Admin
