Record Text
During Mission Spider in Operation Egyptian Collapse, SPC B.Bishop in the temporary Squad Leader position in the stead of SGT A.Bills’ Leave, displayed acts of heroism and courage in the face of a surprise enemy attack on the FOB. Throughout the many waves of the enemy armour platoon, and the many waves of casualties at the front line, SPC B.Bishop never wavered. During the first wave, Third Squad Spartans suffered a mass casualty situation from a flanking enemy force while low on AP rounds in the MGS, destroying the MGS and injuring its crew, and 4 of alpha team members. While sustaining minor injuries, SPC B.Bishop collected the injured soldiers while the enemy forces attempted to break the line, and brought them to a safe temporary CCP location behind Second Squad Ghosts defensive line. During the second wave, and another mass casualty situation of approximately 6 injured soldiers from Second and Third Squads, and 2 members of platoon staff, along with another destroyed MGS, SPC B.Bishop held the front line from sporadic enemy infantry and IFV attacks alongside the remaining uninjured soldiers from Second Squad. During the third wave, and another flank from enemy infantry, SPC B.Bishop both held the line, eliminating approximately 1 squad of enemy infantry, and successfully extracted approximately 4 injured soldiers from both second and third squads to the final regroup point for medical assistance. Never once did SPC B.Bishop hesitate to stay at or return to the front line, nor leave behind a fellow soldier.
