Provided aid and fire support in multiple short hard skirmishes throughout the operation as ERG continuously maneuvered to find a gap in the enemy perimeter. Tylenol provided rearguard cover as ERG withdrew from a particular hard contact drawing fire from the withdrawing friendly troops and saving several from becoming casualties.

Calm and effective fireteam leadership from Pvt Disco. She is ready for promotion to junior NCO, with potential to climb the ranks over her career.

Pvt Chaos repeatedly and courageously took the initiative at initiation of contact to assault a number of enemy positions on Endgame Red's search route, in some cases almost single-handedly while most of the squad were still getting their bearings. His swift and decisive actions allowed several groups of enemy infantry to be destroyed before they could inflict casualties on the unit, and his diligence in returning for a squad member who had become trapped in an exposed position by direct fire from enemy armour while the rest of the squad were still attempting to extract and regroup is a testament to his stern and steely courage and situational awareness.

Sgt Sauceman held the squad together in a dynamic and challenging situation while under enormous pressure and kept her cool while doing so. Hearing her reassuring voice over comms helped keep Endgame Red focused and functional at all times, allowing them to cover a large search area and complete the mission while severely outnumbered and outgunned.

Sauceman continues an excellent platoon leader. With Lt Havercruft experiencing frequent comms difficulties, Sauceman had everything under control, keeping the squad moving together and rapidly making good command decisions throughout a challenging mission.
