NARRATIVE TO ACCOMPANY THE AWARD OF

 

The Bronze Star Medal

 

SSG Allen Moran

 

SSG Moran has answered the call for service to his country by outperforming his peers throughout the preparation and deployment of the G-2 section 3d Infantry Division in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom III (OIF III) from 3 January 2005 to 1 January 2006.

 

SSG Moran was selected to be NCOIC of the G2 DTAC.  He took charge of his section and ensured all equipment and personnel moved forward of the Division Main body to Camp Beuhring, Kuwait without incident.  While there, he supervised and ensured the fusion of multiple intelligence disciplines from organic resources, other units, and MACOM, to provide highly accurate and timely intelligence for successful onward movement of the Division Main.  After the 3d Infantry Division HQ was established at Camp Liberty Iraq, SSG Moran oversaw the successful redeployment of the DTAC from Kuwait to Iraq without incident.

 

While at Camp Liberty, SSG Moran was selected for the subsequent position of NCOIC of the G-2 OPS section in the Commander’s Information Center (CIC).  As NCOIC, he quickly created, implemented, and maintained the standard for the reporting, tracking, and dissemination processes of the G-2 OPS.  These reports and procedures were utilized in producing daily status reports on the various operations conducted by the Multi-National Division Baghdad.  SSG Moran also conceived and maintained the division Threat Warning tracker thereby ensuring threat information was not only disseminated to appropriate units and maintained situational awareness for all, but was also cataloged for historical analysis.

 

SSG Moran also quickly learned and mastered to utilize the Command Post of the Future program.  With his responsibility and newfound knowledge, SSG Moran created intelligence products for scheduled requirements and pivotal attack events that quickly became and remained the standard throughout the Division and were even used by national agencies such as the National Ground Intelligence Center.

 

SSG Moran distinguished himself on a daily basis by consistently exhibiting a high standard of work and dedication to service.  His efforts and products ensured proper intelligence situational awareness for not only the Commander, 3d Infantry Division, but the command group as well.  SSG Moran is a model NCO that was directly responsible for the deployment, daily operations, and success of the G-2 CIC OPS and G-2 DTAC sections while in support of OIF III.
