On a 120-hour mission to clear various Iraqi roadways, Kline and his team repelled sniper fire, subduing the threat. Overstreet and his team dealt with 30 IEDs and collected more than 3,000 pieces of ordnance. He personally completed 134 combat missions. White’s team handled one-third of the multinational division north’s workload, and White aided a team member knocked unconscious by an IED.
