 We are a Charlie Company first of the 138th Infantry Battalion. We were actually the main effort for the battalion. Our mission was to essentially stop the enemy from advancing forward. Tonight's engagement, we were holding our fortified position here. We've been in this position of fortifying it for the last two days. And tonight we were hit by a very large opposition force. All of the fighting holes, my guy is dug by hand. The goal was to set up an ambush where we could draw their armored vehicles into a kill zone directly in front of our position. And we were on the tow carrier there at the base of the trees. Well the enemy thought we were on top of the hill and we ended up killing three tanks before we eventually got spotted by our third pack blast. I mean we held them off as long as possible. Took down three of the enemy tanks. We lasted a long time in the delaying effort. Communication tonight was fantastic. Right at the last second we got reinforcements from Alpha and Bravo Company. We had never worked with these guys before, ever. It was dark, we couldn't even see each other's faces, but yet everyone communicated fantastic. Just the coordination, the communication, and just the breakdown of chain of command was probably the best I've ever seen when you throw in guys that had never worked together before. That was outstanding. I'm super proud of them. I could not be prouder of my soldiers tonight. Not just my platoon, but all the guys that were out there on the line with us. It was second platoon, guys from Alpha Company, guys from Bravo Company. I've been an NCO for 11 years and I can honestly say I don't think I've ever been this proud of my soldiers.
