Record Text
On 21 June, during Mission “Hurricane” of Operation Wet Feet, SGT M. Marsh, under the direction of his Platoon Sergeant, led his squad into enemy fire to reinforce the heavily engaged 1st Platoon, 4th Squad. Upon arrival, SGT Marsh positioned his squad to establish a buffer line, enabling 4th Squad to safely withdraw and treat their wounded personnel. Through effective fire control and leadership, he directed his squad’s fires onto enemy positions, forcing the enemy back into the treeline and relieving pressure on friendly forces. Once contact subsided, SGT Marsh pushed forward with SFC Fitzgerald into a previously occupied enemy trench line to secure the position and allow 4th Squad time to reorganize. After SFC Fitzgerald was rendered unconscious and enemy fire temporarily lifted, SGT Marsh assumed additional leadership responsibilities, directing the recapture of captured enemy positions and coordinating fires against enemy battle positions. Under his leadership, Warlocks inflicted significant casualties on enemy forces and destroyed multiple armored vehicles despite sustaining numerous casualties of their own, including SGT Marsh himself. SGT Marsh protected his medic solely while fighting off enemies to get them to his medic. After a casualty collection point was established, SGT Marsh, while being wounded and bleeding out, recognized Warlocks were taking casualties and enemies were pushing the defensive positions. SGT Marsh pushed the enemies off the bodies of friendly troops. After killing the enemies he would pick up the several wounded and carry them to the CCP that was established choosing his fellow squad members over his own personal well being. SGT Marsh would guide the incoming soldiers to the contact to protect the CCP. During that time 4th squad troops were sustaining heavy casualties as well. SGT Marsh rescued 4 members of their squad, loading them in the vehicles where they could be evacuated. When ordered to break contact, SGT Marsh executed the withdrawal flawlessly, ensuring the safe extraction of friendly forces under pressure while almost bleeding out himself before linking up with platoon HQ after the entire fight was over. Through his courage, leadership, and unwavering dedication under fire, SGT Marsh directly contributed to the preservation of combat power and the successful defeat of a numerically superior enemy force.
