Elizabeth Cross citation
"During a routine patrol on 2 September 1984 in Calatan province, Caranad, 2LT Reich's platoon came under heavy enemy fire from the Tialocha cartel. Completely surrounded and pinned down, 2LT Reich coordinated counterassault actions within his unit despite taking heavy losses. 2LT Reich, after losing his radioman to enemy fire, began coordinating with support aircraft and artillery teams to accurately engage enemy fighters while simultaneously engaging the enemy and setting up a triage station for the wounded. Over the course of three hours, 2LT Reich kept his unit engaged in the fight and coordinated with support elements until QRF forces could arrive. Despite losing over 50% of his men, 2LT Reich maintained his composure under fire and exemplified the core values of the Royal Marines and brought credit upon the Corps and His Majesty."
