Led a retrieval mission to resupply the squad desperately low on ammunition and recover wounded marines within the area. The area was in darkness, covered in hostile fire, but the situation was desperate and Morse succeeded in escorting the survivors back in time to blunt another enemy push. Whilst the munitions were not recovered the enemy push was stopped and the squad did not lose marine beyond the lines.
