OPERATION IRRITATING SLIPPER (2022-07-24): We're going to clear some rocks! What could go wrong!
OPERATION BLIND HONEYBEE (2022-07-29): Assault the last couple of rocks, including the bridge between rocks full of bastards, followed by defence of a village.
OPERATION NOON INVASION (2022-07-31): Endgame Red were tasked with stepping in to support AVRN positions under fire, then supporting 4077th MASH with medevac from various locations, culminating in a beach dustoff from a river under fire. Us under fire, that is. Not the river.
Mentioned in Despatches: Mentioned in Dispatches for clear and effective leadership co-ordinating airlift medevac operations with the 4077th MASH
OPERATION VITAL STRETCH (2022-08-12): The unusual CIA operatives from Operation Stove Turnip tasked Endgame Red with a psychological warfare operation: to locate four religious idols from the local tribespeople and use them to complete a ritual at altars scattered through the swamp. This would, they claimed, demonstrate US dominance and bring the local tribes back on-side (they having absconded with the weaponry supplied to win their affections to date). Unfortunately for Endgame Red, not only were the local tribespeople not keen to relinquish their idols, but the North Cheltenamese had sent Chelt Cong forces to secure the idols as well, and the People's Republic of Cambridge had sent a combat group as well, apparently not keen on their North Chelt allies from doing whatever they planned with the idols either. The CIA operatives, who were very slow-spoken, seemed keen for this all to be over, so that they could ask Roosevelt to let them come home, as they were especially curious to see if the war in Europe had been won yet and how the Normandy landings had gone.
Purple Heart
