Record Text
: V Device
During Mission Ao Run and the assault of Objective Larceny, a military base, SGT Bishop put his life on the line to take Green Hill, a radio tower and barracks on elevated ground. During the push uphill the squad took multiple injuries, which resulted in this soldier being part of a two man team clearing entrenched enemies in the woods at the base of Green Hill. This two man team breached the Objective successfully, but resulted in the death of his battle buddy from a BTR. The remainder of the team reached the objective shortly after, and also fell casualty to the BTR and hidden and entrenched enemies on Green Hill and in the Barracks Building. Singlehandedly, SGT Bishop killed roughly 20+ enemy soldiers on and leading up to Green Hill, and was left alone and heavily wounded to hunker down and wait for reinforcements, but continued through the injuries and a short moment of unconsciousness to fully clear the Objective of enemies. The rest of the platoon arrived to support and take security of the objective.
