RDX
She built defences, defended defences, set mines, defused mines, and shot a lot of BAD PEOPLE. She deserves shiny medals. All the shiny medals.

Curing OP TOFU WAFER, Chelt sappers laid a number of demolition charges under and around the LZ pads under construction, in order to destroy USMC helicopters as they landed to deliver supplies. RDX hand-carried a live Chelt demolition charge away from LZ Bravo while under fire. This courageous act ensured mission success and doubtless saved the life of a helicopter crew.

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!

The geography of this mission meant that EGR had to be split into two largely independent fireteams to guard the north and south ends of the LZ, with Lt Havercruft taking the South and Sgt Sauceman the North. Sauceman was the consummate NCO, maintaining her squad's cohesion and efficiency, executing the Lt's intent without requiring further intervention beyond instructions, and checking in proactively after assaults on the South to ensure that the South squad was still intact and did not require assistance. Very smoothly executed.
