Operation: Op Noon Invasion - Endgame Red were tasked with stepping in to support AVRN positions under fire, then supporting 4077th MASH with medevac from various locations, culminating in a beach dustoff from a river under fire. Us under fire, that is. Not the river.
Medal: Mentioned in Despatches
Reason: Mentioned in Dispatches for clear and effective leadership co-ordinating airlift medevac operations with the 4077th MASH (by Admin)
Commendation: Bonzer leadership, as ever. Nice and clear instructions, kept us together, kept us moving, picked up 19/20 casualties. Pretty damn good, nahyeah? - by Admin
Commendation: Clear leadership, kept the squad moving and judged the level of brifing well. Also let me just get on with comms which is sometimes lacking from command. A+ would follow onto a chopper again. - by Admin

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.

Operation: Op Voluminous Semicolon - Two armoured Chelt columns are trying to combine to push south and threated the peace-loving South Cheltnamese. Endgame Red, with Naval Support are sent in to secure a vital bridge crossing and prevent the two forces from linking up.
Commendation: With the temporary unavailability of Capt Scatter it fell to Sgt Dropbear to liasise with Bravo Bravo Six One to co-ordinate the naval support due to him admitting to being equiped with both map /and/ long range radio. Despite claiming to be woefully unprepared for the responsibility, Sgt Dropbear showed a level of courage and commitment that would not go amiss amongst the finest of the USMC, enabling multiple successful strikes on hostile vehicle columns and preventing Chelt forces from retaking the bridge and combining their forces to push south. A credit to his service. - by Admin
