    Commander, NATO Training Mission Lt. Gen. William B. Caldwell, IV, recognized 12 service members with Purple Heart Medals, Combat Action Badges and Combat Medical Badges (respectively) for actions taken Oct. 26 when their convoy was ambushed twice while traveling through Afghanistan's Tangi Valley. The team successfully overcame a 45-minute complex attack in which insurgents used rocket propelled grenades, small arms fire and improvised explosive devices.
