Ed_Haynes Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) Recommendatiuon translation from researcher:"In the Republic Afghanistan since 30 May 1987, he participated in two combat missions aimed at the destruction of mutineers' bandit units. During those missions he proved to be a courageous ensign, who was able to make quick and correct decisions in combat situations."He especially distinguished himself on 13 August 1988 nearby the town of Baglany [?]. Being positioned in the leading armored personnel carrier he was first to spot mutineers' movement alongside of the road. In the following exchange of fire three mutineers were killed."After the road checkup a fougasse [?] has been founded. Due to brave and courageous actions of senior ensign Basovich A. Z. large personnel losses were avoided. In the exchange of fire with the mutineers he, with his personal weapon, destroyed the mutineers' firing position."While in combat he acted courageously and resolutely and commanded with confidence."For bravery and courage showed while fulfilling the mission of providing international assistance to the Republic of Afghanistan he deserves to be awarded with the medal 'For combat service'."Additional wisdom and information begged . . . .

Guest Rick Research Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Fougass is French... a mine in the shape of its namesake "hearth cake."What we now callan IED.I would translate "myatezhniki" not as "mutineers" but as "rebels."
