Commendations
Recovered several heavily burned marines that had been abused and trapped in an overwatched area. Providing medical treatment and defending their patients when the aid station was being over run. Turning back the attack and getting the wounded back into the fight.
Kept Yellow Squad on task, and in control more than I've ever seen before. Led to them being extremely effective as a part of the larger team. Leapfrog maneuvers showcased this well, as well as bridge crossings.
Was on top of keeping the team moving, and helped massage people into the right direction even during chaos tonight!
Solid job clearing reeds and gunning down cheeky bad guys, as well as providing lovely covering fire for fire and manoeuvre.
Guided EGR through a minefield whilst under fire and engaging the enemy at the same time. By neutralising the enemy blocking force and guiding EGR through he allowed the squad to fulfill a key objective and maintain the momentum of the operation, where otherwise the attack would have stalled as EGR would have been forced to find alternative routes through wasting time and potentially exposing themselves to further enemy counter attacks.
Deadmeat consistently had her shit together and was constantly moving to ensure correct arcs of fire and formation. It doesn't sound like much, but her diligence was the bedrock that the team could then work around to maintain combat effectiveness.
Deadmeat was absolutely solid tonight. Every time she should have been somewhere, she was there. Every time an arc needed covering, she was on it. Give me a squad full of marines like Deadmeat and we could take on the world.
When my fireteam became separated from the squad and took casualties while searching for an objective in the swamps, Tubular led an element of his team to assist, providing the support and overwatch required to rejoin the main for force and push on
