Commendations

Whilst under heavy fire, provided accurate support for a small assault element to neutralise artillery engaging the rest of her platoon. Without this support the assault would not have been successful and the primary objective of the LRRP would not have succeeded, it is also likely thatvher platoon may have been overwhelmed and destroyed itself.
She further provided accurate fire in support of personnel attempting to secure medical aid for critically wounded marines, facing down several times her number in an attempt to secure the landing zone.

Provided medical aid to critically wounded troops allowing for the successful completion of the LRRP. 911 behaved with courage and aggression, risking their own lives to find and treat wounded personnel whilst under heavy fire. 911 also used captured AAA assets to down several enemy troop transports prior to them being able to deploy Paratroops into the AO, this allowing Endgame Red to successfully complete their primary objective.

Nine One One dealt with various mass cassaulty events over the cause of the mission and alongside other members of Endgame red kept injured members alive at times with limited medical supplies till such time as additional supplies were sourced. further to this after the artillery park had been cleared the position was attacked by at least 4 helicopters of either MI-2 or MI-8 types and under their own initiative brought into action a ZPU-4 to engage and destroy 1 of the attacking helicopters stopping them from completing their mission what would have been detrimental to endgame reds position and overall mission at that time.

Provided accurate HE and rifle fire on numerous enemy forces and neutralised an regular army mortar position that was bombarding AVRN base Planck, allowing for safe egress of Endgame Red from the AO. Hammer and 9-1-1 also utilised captured AAA assets to down several enemy helos prior to them being able to reinforce enemy ground elements with Paratroops.

Was instrumental in the successful withdrawal of the remaining members of their fire team. Providing accurate and sustained fire to allow successful movement of surviving Endgame Red elements from the AO. Hailmary also risked their own life to secure vital medical aid for the treatment of critically wounded comrades whilst under repeated RPG fire from an elevated position.

Singlehandedly assaulting the artillery park like a GD hero.

Hammer found rock mortally wounded on the edge of the artillery park surrounded by numerous dead chelt, it appeared as if he had led a one-man assault on the position almost single handily naturalizing and clearing the position, in doing so he brought time and breathing room for the rest of endgame red who were at the time dealing with various injuries rendering them combat ineffective to be brought back into the fight and continue the assault to clear the position and recover rock for treatment.

Under extreme situations maintained medical treatment on multiple critical casualties and defended said casualties when under close assault from enemy infantry. Behaved in the highest standards of the military. Without her actions the platoon would have been cut apart and destroyed.
