Record Text
During Shaping Operation 6, Griffins HQ was tasked with providing support to Wizards squad, which had taken significant casualties while defending the south side of the city. Upon HQ's arrival, triage was swiftly initiated and a CCP established. While other casualties were moved back to the CCP to provide security, SSG Nagy and 2LT Duck pushed back out toward the direction of enemy contact to recover two downed soldiers in difficult to reach positions. While 2LT Duck provided overwatch, SSG Nagy descended onto exposed rock faces under direct enemy fire and successfully extracted the first casualty into cover, where they were evacuated by members of Wizards. Without hesitation, the two continued forward to retrieve the second casualty, requiring SSG Nagy to climb down a cliff face into a suspected minefield. During this effort, both men sustained serious injuries, SSG Nagy was struck in the chest, resulting in a sucking chest wound, while 2LT Duck suffered a massive avulsion to his left arm from grenade shrapnel. Despite their wounds, 2LT Duck continued to return effective fire, neutralizing the enemy position and evading remaining hostiles. Once out of immediate danger, he joined SSG Nagy in the ravine, and together they maneuvered the second casualty back toward friendly lines. Under continued risk, 2LT Duck provided covering fire against an approaching enemy squad while SSG Nagy successfully extracted the wounded soldier to safety. Through their shared valor, determination, and refusal to leave any comrade behind, all casualties were recovered to the CCP and survived their wounds. Their actions directly enabled the operation’s continued success. For their gallantry and wounds sustained in combat, SSG G. Nagy and 2LT Duck are each awarded the ARCOM with C Device.
