On 8 September, 2009 in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, more than 60 well-armed, well-positioned enemy fighters ambushed Captain Swenson's combat team as it moved on foot into a village for a meeting with village elders. As the enemy unleashed a barrage of rocket-propelled grenade, mortar and machine gun fire, Captain Swenson immediately returned fire and coordinated and directed the response of the Afghan Border Police, while simultaneously calling in suppressive artillery fire and aviation support over the radio. After the enemy effectively flanked Coalition Forces, Captain Swenson called for smoke to cover the withdrawal of the forward elements. Surrounded on three sides by enemy forces, Captain Swenson coordinated air assets, indirect fire support and medical evacuation helicopter support to allow for the evacuation of the wounded. Captain Swenson ignored enemy radio transmissions demanding surrender and maneuvered uncovered to render medical aid to a wounded fellow soldier. Captain Swenson stopped administering aid long enough to throw a grenade at approaching enemy forces, before assisting with moving the soldier for air evacuation. Captain Swenson led a team in an unarmored vehicle into the kill zone, exposing himself to enemy fire on at least two occasions to recover the wounded and search for four missing comrades. Exposing himself to enemy fire, he located and recovered three fallen Marines and one fallen Navy corpsman.

During combat operations on November 9, 2007, Specialist White and his comrades were returning to Bella Outpost from a meeting with villagers in a local village. As the soldiers traversed a narrow path surrounded by mountainous, rocky terrain, they were ambushed by enemy forces from elevated positions. Pinned against a steep mountain face, Specialist White and his fellow soldiers were completely exposed to enemy fire. Specialist White returned fire and was briefly knocked unconscious when a rocket-propelled grenade impacted near him. When he regained consciousness, another round impacted near him, embedding small pieces of shrapnel in his face. Disregarding his wounds, Specialist White noticed one of his comrades lying wounded nearby. Without hesitation, Specialist White exposed himself to enemy fire in order to reach the soldier and provide medical aid. After applying a tourniquet, Specialist White moved to an injured Marine, providing aid and comfort until the Marine succumbed to his wounds. Specialist White then returned to the soldier and discovered that he had been wounded again. Applying his own belt as an additional tourniquet, Specialist White was able to stem the flow of blood and save the soldier's life. Noticing that his and the other soldier's radios were inoperative, Specialist White exposed himself to enemy fire yet again in order to secure a radio from a deceased comrade. He then provided information and updates to friendly forces, allowing precision airstrikes to stifle the enemy's attack and ultimately permitting medical evacuation aircraft to rescue him, his fellow soldiers, Marines and Afghan Army soldiers. SPC White demonstrated the Army Values of duty and courage. Despite being injured by a rocket-propelled grenade multiple times, he decided not to leave any injured soldiers behind and carried out his duty of trying everything he could to treat their wounds and to help them survive. SPC White was courageous when he put his own safety to the back of his mind so that he could assist other while running out into enemy fire, risking his own life to get a working radio. SPC White did not let the thought of possibly getting hit again impact his desire to help the other wounded. Running back into the crossfire to go help different soldiers and gather materials, each time was a threat to his own life. However, SPC White did not let the that thought affect how he had a duty to help. If SPC White did not think of others first and carry out what he was taught to do, those soldiers may never had gotten an aircraft rescue that fast....
