OPERATION CRUST OPENING (2025-04-18):
The dastardly French have made a sly, backroom deal to sell dairy centrafuges to the North Chelt government. To prevent them from using this technology to increase the intensity of fat in their cream, EGR is tasked with a search and recovery mission. Using helos to search the landscape, find the convoys carrying these centrafuges, secure the trucks, then recover them to any available US base.
Navy and Marine Corps Commendation: AWARDED Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Combat V (NMCCM-V) for sweeping and clearing a halted convoy to allow the remainder of the platoon to manoeuvre, then maintaining suppressive fire on retreating elements of the enemy during Operation Crust Opening. SGT Mattock's actions prevented the enemy from reforming to counterattack while the mission objective was secured, and he maintaining his fire despite taking several severe wounds.
Presidential Unit Citation: AWARDED Presidential Unit Citation for successful completion of Operation Crust Opening, intercepting a delivery of dairy centrifuges that will undoubtedly set back cream enrichment operations in North ChelteNam by years and in so doing supporting US strategic attempts at signing an anti-profiteroleation treaty with key states.
OPERATION SPOILING GHOST (2025-04-20):
Endgame Red is tasked with Red Teaming Monkey Mountain, a key US communications facility. Wearing North Chelt gear and using captured weapons modified to fire blanks the aim was to reach and take the base.
Mentioned in Despatches: AWARDED Mention in Dispatches (MID) for leading unit movements through the exercise against Monkey Mountain's USAF security force during Operation Spoiling Ghost. They managed to keep control of the platoon without allowing it to fracture into more than three parts, which is a 150% improvement on the average action.
OPERATION IGNORING LEAVE (2025-04-25):
Sneaky beaky night mission over the border into Dorset to observe and recover/destroy information on the new weapon, Wild Wurzel, which is being surreptitiously refitted to North CheltNamese aircraft by the theoretically neutral forces of the Dorset dairy farm leadership under the rule of Chairman Moo.
Silver Star Medal: AWARDED Silver Star Medal (SSM) for actions during Operation Ignoring Leave, repeatedly leading small groups against large enemy QRF forces which were blocking the pathway to injured marines, allowing their rescue when they otherwise would certainly have died from their wounds, deliberately exposing himself on several occasions to draw fire away from his comrades while they reloaded or tended minor wounds. Courageously and without regard for his own safety he crossed the open ground of the target airfield despite receiving enfilade fire from two machine-gun positions to establish whether any aircraft could serve as extraction options, and successfully shepherded his squad to a successful evacuation once the mission objectives were complete.
Navy Unit Commendation: AWARDED Navy Unit Citation for actions to prevent Dorset-ChelteNam technology transfers that could have critically affected the war effort during Operation Ignoring Leave
OPERATION FINGER CARIBOU (2025-04-27):
Garrison and defend the firebase of A Luoi at the southern end of the A Shou valley, as Cheltie approaches through the mist.
OPERATION PURE PIE (2025-05-16):
Endgame Red conducted riverine operations through the Cheltenham river system, engaging targets of opportunity and enemy concentrations, along with destroying several fortified positions controlling the river valleys.
Navy and Marine Corps Medal: AWARDED Navy and Marine Corps Medal (NMCM) for navigation and heavy vehicle operation skills while carrying unusual loads during convoy ops as part of Operation Banner Catch, including displaying the ability to barrel roll a fully loaded flatbed truck without significant damage, a manoeuvre normally only possible for fixed wing aircraft.
Promoted to SSgt.
OPERATION BUBBLING LAPDOG (2025-05-30):
Four separate sorties as air cavalry. FAC ordered to sweep and send a preparatory bombardment, then the marines went in to sweep up and clear the area, lift out, and on to the next.
OPERATION SURE INSTRUCTION (2025-06-01):
Sweeping patrol through the Chelt countryside. Air support via our Air Force friends, and a Seahorse on standby as required.
OPERATION CHIEF ECONOMICS (2025-06-06):
Repeated iterations of helicopter insertions, sweeping patrols, then helicopter exfils. Technically a training mission for EGR, but no one told the Chelt that.
