During our forces? offensive Guards Corporal Mironenko has delivered petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL) in a timely manner to their indicated locales in roadless conditions and inclement weather. The communications battalion was always supplied with POL, thus enabling it to supply continuous communications to the Corps command group.
During the Neise forced river crossing operation, Comrade Mironenko managed to deliver fuel to the units on time and under massive enemy fire, thus permitting the vehicle transportation to move and radio operating stations to work on the move, providing communications to the HQ of the Corps command and subordinate units.
Near the river Spree Comrade Mironenko extracted his vehicle under heavy enemy bombing and thus preserved a delivery of POL to the communications battalion and the Corps HQ.
His selfless work enabled the continuous combat mission of the communications battalion, which suffered no lack of fuel.
For bravery and courage he is deserving of the Order of the Patriotic War II Class.
