Due to pressing, vital and clearly mission critical prior engagements 2Lt Havercruft was forced to rendezvous with Endgame Red en route to the objective. In spite of being unaware of prior briefings the Lieutenant integrated seamlessly with the platoon on arrival ensuring team cohesion and effective shovel deployment.

PFC Bacon demonstrated quick thinking and showed the strength of his character when the vehicles of Endgame Red came under direct and close attack during the consolidation phase following a bridging operation. With the foot mobile elements of the squad at a significant remove the Private showed no hesitation in the protection of the repair truck he was operating and rapidly repositioned his vehicle to an alternate location of tactical value. His Faith in the resilience of the Corps and its members was demonstrated to be absolute as he was able to confidently rely on Private Tubular to provide support and security to the second vehicle.
