On operation “Shaping Effort 5” AUG 15 Ghosts tasked with assaulting OBJ Sofia with Widowmaker platoon from the North Eastern side in to Sector 3, on infil the element was engaged with a XA-360 rendering the element and both leaders uncounctions on different levels and times. After treatment and aid from another squad and platoon doc the element back to it’s capacity assaulted the sector clearing it to the full extend, at that point CPL Zvik with one SPC S.Magretson went to bring the element’s vehicle to the sector to aid, on route they scouted enemy reinforcement, after starting up the vehicle they both sent to flank the already engaging enemy reinforcement. While engaging armor in the outskirt of the OBJ a AT from a different direction damaged the vehicle while randering the CPL unconscious, with the wit and quick thinking of SPC Magretons the CPL was treated back to consciousness and the CPL was able to lead the squad to victory on his sector with the aid of another squad. At the same time SPC N.Mcintosh was fighting infantry enroute to the OBJ, his fireteam took heavy fire hurting him and 2 other personnel rendering them combat ineffective, after self aid and the help of a CLS they were able to get back in the fight and destroy the enemy reinforcement.
