Record Text
Shaping Operation 6: As newly appointed fire team leader of Bravo Fire Team, Specialist McEnheimer had to step up for the entirety of the mission as a squad leader due to his squad leader having to step up as Platoon Sergeant. Despite his short experience as a team leader, SPC McEnheimer managed to lead the squad with no issues so far. He maintained good communications not just with the squad but with the platoon as well, keeping the platoon leadership updated quite often on the squad’s situation and its progress upon its assigned tasks. He showed great potential as a leader and it can be easily seen he already started living up to the NCO Creed and Warrior’s Ethos.
