    Despite our units’ rapid advance, heavy loads, and poor roads, he supplied the combat units in a timely manner with foraged produced in forest-swamp conditions and due to his efforts there were no supply lapses during offensive operations.

    Despite the difficult forest-swamp terrain and disregarding difficulties and time he personally drove vehicles to the combat units and supplied them with produce in a timely manner.
