OPERATION ADORED WIDOW (2022-07-22): Convoy mission down to support the base at (insert name here). Multiple enemy rock formations close by, so we went to murder them. Mostly with artillery.
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.
OPERATION STOVE TURNIP (2022-08-07): Endgame Red are directed to locate and assist a pair of CIA operatives who were tasked with acting as liaisons to a swamp-dwelling Cheltnamese tribe following their re-establishing of contact. The paperwork on the original orders was extremely faded and worn.
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.
OPERATION DESCRIBING OMELETTE (2022-08-19): Foot patrol through the AJL valley to identify and destroy Chelt camps, tunnel complexes and artillery. SAM site found and assaulted.
OPERATION STRANGE REPAIR (2022-08-21): Continuing the mission to find and destroy the artillery park. Which we did. And then a lot of people got shot and dragged off by Chelt to places unknown...
Mentioned in Despatches: Mentioned in Dispatches for providing accurate fire to neutralise enemy light artillery engaging the platoon, without which the platoon would not have been successful in its assault objective, during the destruction of a heavy artillery emplacement west of Con Ho
Citation Denied: Citation for Bronze Star Medal for heroism during the securing of an escape LZ during same denied by Australian Govt.

OPERATION REVOLVING TOOTH (2022-09-18): Reports of heavy Chelt Cong contact from patrols investigating the remains of Binh Dai required a recon response from Endgame Red. Assaulting a major encampment heavily defended by emplaced weapons, Endgame Red then cleared a large bunker complex with multiple entrances/exits in the teeth of Chelt Cong reinforcements. Intel was recovered indicating that the weapons had been supplied by "Dodjay Enrique".
