SPC Ty Carter (B/3-61 CAV, 4th ID) Battle of Kamdesh, Afghanistan 03OCT2009

03OCT2009: Waking up to an overwhelming enemy assault, then SPC Ty Carter and his men found themselves on the receiving end of a deadly Taliban attack. With 300 fighters covering the nearby hillsides, looking down into COP Keating, the Taliban began the attack at dawn, laying down a not-before-seen volume of fire into the American outpost. Quickly recognizing the severity of the situation, then SPC Carter gathered ammunition and twice moved through a hail of gunfire to begin delivering the much needed supplies to the heavy weapons crews. Once at the fighting positions, Carter never stopped engaging the enemy fighters as they moved down the hillsides in an attempt to overrun the base. Soon, SPC Carter learned that one of his men was wounded and stranded in the open. Without regard for his own safety, Carter ran through the same withering enemy fire in order to reach the Soldier. Once there, he provided immediate first aid to stop the bleeding and moved the Soldier to a more covered position. Carter then picked up the wounded Soldier, and moved over 100m to the aid station under devastating, close range enemy fire. Once the wounded Soldier was delivered the to aid station, SPC Carter went right back out into the fight where he spent the next few hours pushing the Taliban fighters back and retaking COP Keating. For his heroic actions that prevented the enemy from overrunning the outpost and helped to save the lives of his fellow Soldiers, SPC Ty Carter would be awarded the Medal of Honor.
