Details Behind Award
For satisfactory performance while under fire in bona fide ground or surface combat fire fight or action during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Battery E's engagements:

1. The battery received indirect fire during Operation Opening Gambit as part of 2nd Bn, 5th Marines. Quickly returned fire (Battery 6 BBDPICM, Battery 6 RAP) destroying the enemy battery.

2. Marines in the vehicle effectively suppressed the fire of an ADA gun (S-60 most likely) that was firing upon a friendly UH-1. Unable to ascertain effects except that the system ceased firing upon the UH-1.

3. Battery E was engaged in a small ambush as it moved north along the eastern bank of the Diyala river. Three Battery E vehicles were engaged and all Marines returned fire with calm but resolved demeanor. One Marine destroyed an enemy crew-served firing position with a well-placed M203 Grenade.

The Battery returned home with no combat casualties. One Marine, a PVT, was MedEvac after losing a tooth in a fist fight - Another Marine, a LCpl, didn't take kindly to the PVT throwing an artillery fuze at their Sgt section chief, considered it intolerable disrepect.
