Record Text
Koe has excelled this operation in his role of Anti-Tank, and has embodied the ethos of striving for perfection that all in the second platoon should aim for. His continued self-reflection and improvement as an AT gunner is outstanding and his ability to proactively anticipate orders without stepping over the line of wandering off unaccounted for truly makes him stand out as a specialist in his role. Koe’s excellence has on several occasions wiped out entire armored columns, with a record of 12 kills in 14 rockets in a single operation, with many targets being at over a kilometer, and moving. For setting the example that all in the second platoon should strive for, he is being awarded this Arcom with V device.

Record Text
SPC Koe during this month has shown what it means to be an amazing member to his squad, platoon, and entire unit. Every week he shows up ready to work, constantly striving for improvements and armor kills. He never misses his shots with the MAAWS; in Shaping effort 9, he fired 12 shots (the full squad’s supply) and killed 12 targets in ranges of 400 to 1200m, many of which were moving. Whenever he alerts his team with his inhuman ability to detect an enemy vehicle, leadership never has to tell him where to be or when to engage the enemy. In addition to his exceptional in-game performance, he is always saying hello to members in the squad and he brings his faults that he wants to improve to his leadership. All of 2nd Platoon is very lucky to have him.
