Awards and Medals

Pvt Misstep awarded Navy and Marine Corps Medal: AWARDED Navy and Marine Corps Medal (NMCM) for using the skills from his previous career as an eastern Ohio pig farmer to treat the heavily wounded Corpsman SM Tylenol while under enemy fire, who was then able to medic other squad casualties to provide sufficient weight of numbers to enable the successful capture of Hill 119 during Operation Gravy Den.

PFC Tubular awarded Bronze Star Medal: AWARDED Star to his Bronze Star Medal (BSM) for bravery and dedication to duty as the platoon's only heavy anti tank weaponeer during the assault on Hill 119, frequently manoeuvring to flank enemy forces to knock out several armoured vehicles despite this exposing him to fire from the remainder of the enemy defensive line during Operation Gravy Den.

LCpl Disco awarded Navy and Marine Corps Commendation: AWARDED Star to their Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Combat V (NMCCM-V) for skillful leadership during highly fluid combat operations, carrying out flanking operations with skill and effectiveness without losing positional awareness of herself or her team's individual members during hilltop assaults in Operation Gravy Den.

Unit awarded Meritorious Unit Commendation: AWARDED Meritorious Unit Commendation for their effective and vital contributions to the attack on the Plain of Jars through the taking of the heavily defended Hill 119 during Operation Gravy Den.

PFC Chaos Mentioned in Despatches: AWARDED Mention in Dispatches for his actions in the trench line atop Hill 119, acting as the linchpin of the defences and playing a significant role in throwing back eight separate enemy assaults during Operation Gravy Den.
