Also being submitted for awards are the responsiblities of the your Chain of Command and NCO support channel.

I agree, however I read his account on the army website, then watched a YouTube documentary where he tells the story. He explains how the fight took place, and how his guys got separated by fire. They moved apart during the fighting and he didn't know anything until he ran up and the talibs already had his guy. I'm not demeaning the kick assery that happened after that, just that getting awarded the MOH for correcting a screw up is a little off that's all
