Commendations

Slump
Slump led his section into the tunnels and maintained a perimeter allowing EGR to triage and get up the casualties sustain in the river crossing to the cave entrance. Slump then, with a scratch force of both fire teams was instrumental on allowing EGR to move forward and gain some momentum in the tunnel fight.
Written by Admin
Clapman
Under fire and in limited cover Clapman provided triage and security to multiple wounded as EGR forces their way into the tunnel complex. Clapman then in a short but intense exchange of fire killed an enemy sniper that had been pinning down and blunting the EGR push on the enemy fortifications, sustaining grievous wounds in the process. With the sniper threat eliminated, EGR were able to manoeuvre and successfully take the enemy positions.

Disco
Looked after her team and left nobody behind. At the front of every assault, and did yellow team proud.
Written by Admin
Disco
Disco, with her team, held the position to infiltrate the enemy tunnel network against sustained plunging fire and mounting casualties. Had she not done so, EGR would have had to withdraw and then re-assault the entrance which may well have been reinforced or rendered inaccessible through demolition. Without this display of courage and leadership the mission would have depended on a frontal assault against entrenched enemy.

Misstep
Alongside Potshot were the primary point element of EGR thought the tunnel network, their bravery meant that traps were discovered, ambushes were counter attacked and a supply cache was found which allowed EGR to sustain the mission. Misstep and Potshot were vital in allowing the squad to move through and out of the tunnel network, with the intension of hitting the enemy rear.
Written by Admin
Bungalow
Coordinated medical treatment and fire of EGR when team leaders were unable to do so in the frantic fighting in the tunnels. Dragging several wounded to safety at huge risk to themselves. Bungalow then overwatched his team as they resupplied and performed his tasks with all the bravery of the service.
