Logistics flights and ratta-tat-tat on the baddie camp

Despite being a medic and therefore taking on the job of treating wounded, Lupus did not hesitate to hop on a .50 cal machine gun and provide much needed suppressive fire while the Seabees constructed the outer perimeter. (Gave a lot of baddies a HARD TIME)

Great squad leader, would follow this horse anywhere. Clear and succinct orders, with enough leeway to take initiative and always felt he had my back if I ran out and shot Chelties (who just wanted to give me a hug, I'm sure)

Great use of engineering capabilities to construct a medical center and command center in the new FOB. Swept an area for mines while the squad was out for a patrol. Did in fact find mines and notified the team of findings, but the team did not care and stepped on them anyways.

i would like to commend Zaytsev for outstanding flying during the 1st part of the operation under some difficult conditions making sure that the supplys were delivered to the LZ in as quick a time as possible. it should be noted that he executed a controlled landing when the helicopter lost all engine power allowing the crew to exit safely and allowed the helicopter to be recovered and repaired. Zaytsev as the gunner in a cobra gunship callsign viper also provided excellent and accurate fire with both the minigun and grenade launcher when viper was called in to provide support to the ground element in the 2nd part of the mission.

"That CH-47.. when it took all that damned ground fire, the engines started dropping off power pretty fast. I firewalled it to slow the descent and then notice the fuel just dropping like a brick. I back off power and let it drop until the front starboard wheel made contact and firewalled it again to keep it there. I managed to stabilize the center of gravity on the helo just as the fuel hit zero and the ass dropped onto the ground." AKA he raced the crash to the ground and won. Also logistics flights and ratta-tat-tat on the rock and baddied hiding bheind it.

Excellent buddy, manning the fixed positions as needed, and advancing with excellent aggression up to and through the Spetsnaz. Never mind Gold Squad, you just need LEEEERRRRRRROOOOYYYYY.

Unsung hero, vectoring in the logistics and staying on top of comms while under close assault and enemy fire.

I would like to commend Cpl morse for oustanding coordination and direction of air assest delivering logistical supplys to the ground element at the LZ. That allowed the pilots to deliver the supplys when they had limited visability from thier aircraft once over the LZ, she also kept the air assest informed of the direction of any attacks on the lZ during our apporch allowing the air crew to direct our weapons to help supress the enemy during the drop of cargo.
