Operation Summary

In which we have a two day pass in Hue, and so does the chelt uprising. Stealth is optional.
We had a gunfight in a market. And a hospital. And a factory. And a suburb. And a consulate. It was a jolly wizard time and we were able to recover the crucial intel command had secreted in a variety of locations around the city like veritable ghosts, flirting from one shadow to another. It is doubtful that the Chelt even knew were were there.

Commendations

Slump
For leading an attack into an overwatched area against a numerically stronger dug in enemy with automatic weapons in elevated positions. In doing so the enemy emplacements were revealed and eliminated. By other members of the squad.
Written by Admin
Tylenol
For being an experienced medical professional, treating countless battlefield injuries and having no clue how much blood is in the human body, but guessed 'about 2' as she was treating several severely wounded personnel, thus maintaining their heart rates in sheer terror.
Written by Admin
Havercruft
For ordering and assault into a fallen friendly compound in a city overrun by hostiles to protect the person who issues his gear and stay on the good side of the S4 mafia.
Written by Admin
Disco
For clearing several heavily mined obvious entrances to a key objective. Thereby enabling quick withdrawal of the squad from the target area much later after medical treatment had been performed.
Written by Admin
Chaos
Providing heavy fire support in a stealth operation, where ERG won several firefights due to his aggression and situational awareness we might not necessarily have been involved in had he not been so aggressive.
Written by Admin
Avalanche
Assaulting and clearing a building singlehandedly as he was assaulting a different building to the rest of the squad. In doing so he limited to enfilading fire the squad actually would have sustained had he not done so. Avalanche then maintained perimeter around the building his squad mates were not at and then flanked the enemy assaulting where his squadmates were in his attempts to return to where they were defending.
Written by Admin
Tubular
The platoon had moved away from an engagement and Tubular's situational awareness meant he checked for any lost team mates. He realized that slump was down and went back for him, staying to provide medical assistance and save slump while under direct, accurate sniper fire, clearly saving his life.
Written by Admin
Tubular
For proving he definitely isn't a Turkish spy, by failing to hit ANYTHING with his issued sidearm and utterly regretted not going into the mission with his trusted shovel 'Mr Lampy' instead.
