Commendations

Sarge managed to hold the squad together and prosecute the objective under difficult conditions while a considerable portion of the squad were significantly fatigued or otherwise tired and confused. He did this with good grace and without profanity, or corporal punishment. As such SSgt Radical demonstrated exceptional leadership and superhuman restraint.

Tireless leadership in the face of a challenging mission. The Staff-Sergeant's ability to tirelessly drive Endgame Red toward victory and pull them back from the brink of oblivion even while under direct fire from guided missile strikes was impressive to behold and deserving of recognition.

Did an excellent job coordinating his team and on occasion stepping up and coordinating the squad when the SNCO was down. Performed with skill, aggression and displayed initiative and perception of wider goals when moving his team.

HA Clapman's calm demeanor and dedication proved instrumental in the success of the mission. On numerous occasions she was able to coordinate the recovery of mass casualty events under fire, and in "calmer" moments demonstrated great tactical awareness providing vital overwatch and contact reports enabling the squad to function.

Defended triage station against close assault at points using her own body to shield wounded team mates from additional enemy fire. Retrieved seriously wounded Marines and carried them out of harms way whilst under artillery fire.

During a contact when Misstep had been hit by an infiltrator, while I tended to Misstep the same infiltrator moved to attack again. Zaytsev's rapid reactions and precise marksmanship brought the target down with a single well aimed shot, clearly saving the lives of both myself and Misstep.

A Private! Leading a fireteam! Effectively provided suppression and covering fire with the 60 while also giving clear, concise direction to the team. The S4 certainly is not happy, but the SGT sure is.

Good work leading Yellow team, ensuring the fireteam remained focused and sustained good tempo.

Misstep demonstrated great initiative and independent thinking during the operation and on several occasions secured vital assets and objectives. It should be noted that said independence and initiative were not at the detriment to squad cohesion or operation.

As pointman spotted two enemy ambush positions and guided team around emplaced traps and munitions. Identified likely place for radio position and cleared 2 of the radio positions almost singlehandedly whilst the rest of the team held of enemy counter attacks.

Moved efficiently with his fireteam, providing both firepower and medical support at opportune times.

Excellent work from the other half of Endgame Red's medical team. Bungalow has been something of a mentor to me for the last few weeks and the good example he set has been hard to live up to! We could not have saved the squad during several points on this mission, with all of yellow team and some of blue team down and relentless enemy pressure, were it not for his steady hand and cool head.

Spraynpray demonstrated exemplary machinegunship (like marksmanship but more... volumetric) on several occasions during the operation. Of particular note were her actions in providing overwatch for Blue team movements where she provided accurate, coordinated and effective suppression of hostile targets while managing round count with dwindling ammunition.
