From: Hill, Brigadier, CO 16th Air assault Brigade To: 2 Para Bn + Atts Subject: Letter of Commendation DTG: 112300ZFEB19 ++++++++++++++BEGINS++++++++++++++ Letter of Commendation Presented by the Brigade commander of the 16th Air Assault brigade to Acting Lance Corporal Cullen In recognition of outstanding service and heroic actions during Operation Sea Lion II February 10th 2019, Acting Lance Corporal Cullen is presented with the 16th Air Assault Brigade commander's letter of commendation. During Operation Sea Lion II and the battle of 'Hill 88', Acting Lance Corporal Cullen held the entire west of the hillside on his own. On multiple occasions the enemy rushed his position as he with great courage and selflessness repeatedly pushed them back, calling for grenades to be thrown on the other side of the rock he was hunkered behind. Toward the end of the engagement, Cullen was eventually overrun and badly wounded. Without his actions there is no doubt the enemy would have retaken the hill which would have significantly changed the outcome of the operation. Acting Lance Corporal Cullen's actions bring great credit upon himself, 16th Air Assault Brigade and the British Armed Forces. Award presented in country February 11th 2019 Signed Brigadier Hill Regimental Commander +++++++++++++++ENDS+++++++++++++++

Well done boys, welcome to the fray.

The British units in the region and accompanying ANA units are now undergoing operation changes to ensure that a situation like this does not reoccur." - 16AA, Battalion HQ After the death of commander Az, the already fragile relationship between 16AA and the ANA, ANP and Civilian population is rendering close to non existent. As such all operations in the area have been temporarily suspended. No direct threats have been made against NATO units in the region by local forces, as such Battalion HQ is currently unwilling to compromise the ROE and expresses extreme caution when identifying and engaging targets.

Nice pics, thanks for that Flynn

Good effort Sendall, keep it up! Haha god damnit Braddock

I like UMIDIGI, without hyping them too much, I think that they put out high spec phones for rather low prices. UMIDIGI S2 is a great buy, or if you don't want to spend the money the UMIDIGI G is a nice looking simple phone that does the job. G S2

I recommend Xiaomi, their iPhone X challenger is half the price
