#DesertStorm30 EENT 25k into Iraq & 1st obstacle belt properly covered by direct & adjusted indirect fires. It’s a 2-way fight. HHC-26 has thrown track in an obstacle/fire trench. Driver outside w tanker bar and 2 Scts dismount w M-60 MG & fire at origin of inbound tracers 1/4

I see SPC L run back up the ramp, I assume to get more 7.62 for the M-60. But he does not re-emerge. Rounds whip past us and indirect being adjusted. I tell my gnr to look for their Fwd Obsvr so we can kill him & turn off the indirect. I see SGT H, the BC, out of the turret 2/4

In the chaos, I see SGT H screaming at SPC L. He pushes him down the ramp as I see the driver, PFC L, give thumbs up...the track is back on, no WIA...I see them scramble in & the ramp come up as black smoke pours out of the exhaust as they back up, while the 25mm thumps 3/4

“One, Six, it’s sporty but we r disengaging” “Roger, Six. All ok” “Lee froze, over.” “Roger, we’ll deal w it later, over” “The fucker froze, LT. I want him off my track”. “Roger, Charlie Mike, out”. SPC L froze, refused to dismount. SGT H put an M-16 in his face. He dismounted
