Short, concrete description of his feat of arms or accomplishments:

He has been serving in the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan since 1985. Since that moment he has repeatedly participated in escorting columns of cargo trucks, he took part in 6 successful ambushes to gather intelligence, and he was part of a reserve group that repaired the damage caused to a pipeline by sabotage. In the process he displayed boldness, decisiveness, bravery and courage.

On December 18th, 1985 he and his reconnaissance platoon took part in an intelligence-gathering mission near the town of Takhtasang. Firing accurately and effectively, he hit several enemy firing positions. In the course of the fighting he was wounded, but he overcame his pain, noticed an insurgent attempting to take cover in the mountains, and started to pursue him. Under fire by insurgents he displayed bravery and courage, and firing accurately he severely wounded the insurgent, subsequently capturing him as well as his rifle.

Conclusion: For the bravery, fortitude and courage he displayed while carrying out his international duty, he deserves to be awarded the Order of the Red Star.
