21st January 2016 - Operation Black Adder | Due to the teamwork focus, dedication and communication between all soldiers who participated in this mission the objectives were accomplished with minimal 53rd Air Infantry losses and no civilian casualties. This accomplishment stands as an outstanding meritorious performance during a difficult and challenging mission carried out under extraordinary circumstances and as such I believe should be recognised with the unit award of the Army Superior Unit Citation. |
28th January 2016 - Operation Black Adder | During the assault on Agios Efstratios Private Erik Erich demonstrated valour above and beyond the call of duty in both assisting Squad one and in acting as part of the Platoon HQ team that screened and secured much of the town. During the initial assault down into the town Squad one became pinned by heavy fire originating in nearby buildings, Private Erik Erich realized that the situation required the squad to move to another location as the enemy height advantage was creating a firing solutation that would likely result in many Stratis Defence Force casualties. He single-handedly entered and cleared an adjacent building before calling forward Squad One. His ability to maintain his composure and project confidence was essential to maintaining order in a chaotic situation and in ensuring that Squad one was freed to secure the area before resuming his position in the Platoon HQ element's building clearing assault. For his actions I propose the award of the Bronze Star be awarded to Private Erik Erich. |
