Commendations
Recovered several wounded team members whilst under sustained fire. Slump fought off several Chelt pushes whilst giving medical aid to critical cases, allowing him to move them a considerable distance to the aid station. He did so several times saving a number of ERG who would otherwise have either been down for a lot longer or dead.
Without thought for their own safety, stormed a machinegun position, pinning several ERG squad members, killing all but one and buying time for the rest of the squad to move in and assist in the destruction of the position.
When the map file was corrupted and causing massive glitching you were able to rebuild a mission on the fly on a different map that felt engaging, organic and immersive, that was a really good show.
Pvt Treadwell, United States Marine Corps, distinguished himself with conspicuous gallantry as a Pointman, 1st Platoon, Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines during Operation Normal Turf on 23 June 2024. Under intense enemy AAA fire, Pvt Treadwell expertly brought his CH-47 into a hover over a dangerously small gap in the jungle canopy. With Capt Scatter directing him in, and Lt Havercruft attaching the cables, Pvt Treadwell was able to evacuate sPACE-O, a national treasure and goodest of boys. The distinctive accomplishments of Pvt Treadwell reflect great credit upon himself, the United States Marine Corps, and the Department of Defense.
In the role of the heavy lift pilot Sparky pulled a blinder. Its a difficult job at the best of times but given how stressful it was, that was great piloting
Fought with extreme bravery and tenacity, stopping the line held by Blue team from being overrun and the perimeter to Space-o be compromised. Disco assisted in the storming of an enemy defensive line that was boxing in elements of ERG, through aggression and fire discipline she neutralised several enemy foxholes, allowing the pinned down elements of ERG to escape the kill zone without the need to frontally assault the prepared positions.
Capt Scatter, United States Air Force, distinguished himself with conspicuous gallantry as a FAC, 1st Platoon, Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines during Operation Normal Turf on 23 June 2024. With the entire Platoon suppressed by a Battalion sized enemy force, Capt Scatter bravely exposed himself to enemy fire in order to bring in Close Air Support. These airstrikes enabled 1st Platoon to rescue sPACE-O, a national treasure, at a critical juncture in his rescue. The distinctive accomplishments of Capt Scatter reflect great credit upon himself, the United States Air Force, and the Department of Defense.
Captain Scatter was instrumental in the daring rescue of Space-O The Wonder dog from the perfidious grasp of communism.
During the rescue effort, at great personal risk, The Captain rose the the challenge of simultaneous co-ordination of heavy lift slinging, direct forward air control, forward observation and ground based combat. The Captain remained in position during heavy and aggressive massed assault by Chelt forces making use of machine gun and armour in their attempts to kidnap the Wonder Dog. Captain Scatter's timely use of danger close fires and air support during a broken arrow call surely held the chelt tide back long enough to win the day.
Further to the above, Captain Scatter, in his role as FAC, successfully directed air assets engage and destroy at least 4 hostile maritime vessels which were AA capable.

Excellent leadership in some very difficult tactical situations. Several times, when the squad was pinned by enemy infantry, with IDF on the way and significant casualties, Sauceman held the squad together and maintained its cohesion. Absolutely pivotal to mission success.
Rapid search and recovery resulted in less serious casualties after position briefly overrun by enemy tank.
Careful movement and good eye allowed successful extraction and treatment of casualties from a heavy punji area, enabling follow up assault on enemy positions, breaking through.

With the entire Platoon suppressed by a flame tank, Pvt Tubular bravely exposed himself to withering enemy fire in order to destroy the enemy vehicle.
