1. Defend the pilot hiding in the cave system at Cu Chi from Chelt attack.

Navy and Marine Corps Commendation: AWARDED Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Combat V (NMCCM-V) for heroic actions during the defence of the extraction LZ during Operation Comparing Singlets, helping prevent the LZ being overrun.
OPERATION SNEAKY GUARD (2024-02-11):
Scramble 1: Pilot in the air 1-2 km east of Ban Len. Landed east of MSS Leghorn and fled east while the squad rambled a little.
Scramble 2: F-111 crashed 3M W of Phao Noi, in the immediate vicinity of Thud Ridge. SEAD suppressed the SAM site, with Sandy flight continuing to rain down fire on it, but Sandy 2 was hit and crashed and has been captured by the Chelt. The pilots of the F-111 were recovered successfully although Jolly-2 was damaged enough to need to perform a forced landing and the squad left the AO on Jolly-1.
OPERATION ECOLOGY EPHEMERIS (2024-02-16):
OP1: Is Death Better than the Taunton Travelodge?
Endgame Red attempted to intercept a convoy of POWs being taken through CC controlled South Cheltenam across the border into North Cheltenam where they would then be unrecoverable until after the war. Unfortunately, anti-aircraft fire shot down both USMC helicopters despite air support from TACAIR, and in the ensuing running battle the convoy was intercepted but destroyed during the combat, killing the POWs. Endgame Red were successfully extracted by the US Army Air Corps who provided a recovery helicopter on short notice from a nearby FOB.
OP2: Don't let the Intel get Moist
During the return to home base, Endgame Red were diverted to support a 'special forces' operation on a thickly jungled island off the coast of South Cheltenam, recovering several suitcases of 'Intel' from CC hands on behalf of the less than charismatic special forces liaison officer. The use of Naval Gunfire support from the nearby destroyed USS Henderson led to operational success, but the island and its villages were left ablaze as Endgame Red returned to Maxwell Field for the mission debrief.
Bronze Star Medal: AWARDED Bronze Star Medal (BSM) for actions defending the aid station while under heavy close assault and while wounded, in defence of injured and incapacitated squadmates during Operation Ecology Ephemeris.
OPERATION EGO AFTERTHOUGHT (2024-02-18):
Evaluated as the 14th (out of 18) most effective CSAR unit on the roster, and not curently enjoying the favour of either the USMC or USAF, Endgame Red was deployed by helicopter to Firebase A Luoi in the A Shau valley. Tasked to overwatch the main North-South MSR and protect passing traffic, they disrupted Chelt operations in the area through two nights and one day, allowing the safe passage of five US convoys for the loss of one vehicle.
Navy and Marine Corps Commendation: For actions exemplifying the spirit of the Marine Corps in combat with insurgent and treasonous forces during Operation Lymphocyte Airspace.
Promoted to PFC.
