Commendation: Excellent and compassionate leadership, pointing his teams at the job and making sure he was there to mop up casualties and keep stragglers from being left behind. There is very little more reassuring than lying there, bleeding, hearing your team assault on and thinking you're going to bleed out, forgotten, only to hear Mr Pointer's voice telling you he's got you and he's going to keep you alive and get you to a medic. - 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.
Medal: Mentioned in Despatches
Reason: Mentioned in Dispatches for excellent leadership and awareness of the status of his personnel during recon operations in the swamps of the Bra (by Admin)
Commendation: For always knowing where his squad members were and refusing to head south to the CCP at the end because Tracks was still back at the altar and didn't look to be moving. A Father To His Men - 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: Coordinated ground and air operations in multiple scrambles to retrieve downed pilots. Pointer was able to keep air support on station and that allowed the squad to remain without being overwhelmed against several waves of EI. - by Admin

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.
