During the second round of Battalion Drills on 6 April 2025, elements of EP3 were tasked with the defense of the eastern land bridge area. The enemy had decided to use this land bridge as one of their assault points. EP3 leadership went down early in the attack due to well placed artillery fire. The rest of the squad continued to be whittled down by this indirect fire. PFC Brasche knew his orders, and as the only remaining member of this defense force decided the enemy would not breach the island from the land bridge. PFC Brasche proceeded to eliminate 8 members of the attacking force as they pushed across the land bridge with accurate rifle fire. PFC Brasche used the blue uniform of the PLAMC to his advantage, taking a concealed position near the water’s edge. The enemy was unable to effectively engage PFC Bracshe and paid the price. As the assault lessened, two members of the attack for were able to get across the bridge and close with PFC Brasche. One of these attackers managed to injure PFC Brasche, but Brasche was able to dispatch this attacker, bandage, and fall back. When falling back PFC Brasche linked up with a light vehicle support unit and found there was another attacker hidden in the woods. PFC Brasche pushed into these woods by himself and secured a final kill before game was called.
