Commendations

Chaos took control of the front jeep and acted along with Misstep as point man on the operation, keeping the squad informed what was coming and holding the front sector with enthusiastic machine gun fire while the rest of the squad caught up.

Spotted demolition charges hidden beneath a bridge on the convoy route. Disarming them without delaying the transit of the convoy. Chaos also performed essential maintenance on damaged vehicles whilst underfire.

At key moments provided critical intel regarding enemy ambush positions on the route that vehicles would not have spotted until within the kill box. This included emplaced heavy machine guns placed to fire on the rear of the convoy once it had passed, enemy sappers placing mines at a critical junction and a motorised blocking force with supporting heavy weapons. Any of these forces could have rendered the convoy unable to continue.

Maintained squad cohesion throughout the mission, resulting in all supply vehicles arriving safely at target location. Sauceman led several attacks on prepared enemy stopping positions with limited manpower, clearing the way for the convoy.
