Candid did an excellent job leading Blue team in this operation. In spite of the strange squad makeup of a photographer, a machine gunner and a machine gunner pretending to be an RO Candid maintained excellent squad cohesion and tactical awareness. She was instrumental in maintaining momentum and aggression in the face of the enemy, and this was shown in the decision to have blue team on point for the mission.
Of specific note was Candid's decisive actions in leading her team to flank and assault an enemy stronghold defended my numerous hostiles and machine gun positions. Through the use of terrain, plunging fire, smoke grenades and extreme violence the position was neutralised and vital supplies were located.

After dropping into hostile territory to provide urgent medical assistance, an otherwise unnamed PJ called for danger close fires when the barely reconsolidated squad was attacked by a significant chelt force approaching from the high ground. The following artillery salvo was exceptionally effective, and a number of screams coild be heard from the enemy as it landed, followed by utter silence (bar the screams of one malingering marine).

With absence of usual radio operator, Chaos stepped in and provided needed Comms coordination. Arranging for and locating needed supply drop whilst squad in contact with enemy. Goat provided close in perimeter support and held back an enemy push that would have overwhelmed a badly depleted friendly squad. Whilst squad suppressed an enemy armoured column, Chaos directed close air to destroy the said column, allowing EGR to continue their patrol and opening up the route for the delayed resupply convoy.

Located several mines and IEDs along route of projected supply vehicle convoy route. Rendered the ordinance unfit to explode again later when it may have damaged needed logistics vehicles. Later, whilst under intense suppression, Goat drew fire and returned enough fire to pin enemy armoured column in place allowing for it to be destroyed by close air support.
