Record Text
During Mission Sparta, CPL H.Jager was leading his fireteam understaffed and facing mounting odds CPL H.Jager kept a cool and calm head as he continued to sweep and clear through what would later be known as “Hot Route 1” with his fireteam detrenching stiff enemy resistance. Each alley, house and even room became a bloodied battle as ISIS-SP refused to give up any ground without its payment in blood. CPL H.Jager calm demeanor assisted in the flow of communications as the sound of battle drowned out many. His ability to lead his fireteam through the killbox and open “Hot Route 1” to 1st Platoon was nothing short of a miracle as the rest of the platoon pushed through and began its efforts in evacuating embassy personnel. Without his leadership 1st Platoon’s efforts in the evacuation process would have been severely delayed or possibly not have happened at all.
