During the initial assault, PFC Ripper was seen several times laying down extremely accurate and heavy fire to hold down his position in the face of determined enemy counterattacks. This was seen not just at the initial phase but also during the defense at the north end of the runway and also during the evacuation of the AO and medevac liftoff. He frequently exposed himself to enemy guns in order to silence them and break the will of the enemy and was instrumental in the unit's success in the operation.
