Defensa otorga la Cruz al Mérito Militar con distintivo rojo a dos militares destinados en Afganistán en 2010

La ministra de Defensa, Carme Chacón, ha concedido, a propuesta del jefe de Estado Mayor de la Defensa (JEMAD), José Julio Rodríguez, la Cruz al Mérito Militar con distintivo rojo a dos militares que estuvieron destinados en Afganistán en 2010. Los condecorados son el alférez José Alberto Morales Conesa y el cabo primero Pedro Andrés Rojano Fernández, que pusieron de manifiesto su disciplina y valor en situaciones hostiles o circunstancia de grave riesgo, mostrando además extraordinarias dotes de mando, serenidad e iniciativa.

El alférez Morales era el jefe del equipo de protección del PRT de Qala-i-Naw el 25 de agosto de 2010, cuando un policía afgano disparó contra personal de la Guardia Civil perteneciente al POMLT que impartía cursos de formación a los futuros policías afganos. Como oficial más antiguo, el alférez tomó el mando de las unidades del interior del PRT para evacuar a los heridos y hacer frente a los disturbios que se generaron en el exterior de la base, demostrando una extraordinaria eficacia y disciplina.

Por su parte, el cabo primero Rojano formaba parte de una patrulla de reconocimiento por la ruta ‘Lithium’, al sur de San Atesh, el 6 de junio de 2010, y como consecuencia de un hostigamiento de la insurgencia, resultó herido leve con esquirlas en un pie. Pese a ello, el militar español continuó su misión y respondió junto a sus compañeros a los insurgentes.

En el transcurso de este hostigamiento, también resultó herido leve en una pierna el cabo Rubén Bravo Rodríguez, que ha sido distinguido con la Cruz al Mérito Militar con distintivo amarillo según otra Orden publicada hoy en el Boletín Oficial de Defensa (BOD).


Asimismo, la Orden publicada en el BOD contempla la concesión de la Cruz al Mérito Militar con distintivo azul al coronel Luis Martínez Trascasa, que era jefe de la Fuerza en Qala-i-Naw durante los incidentes del 25 de agosto de 2010; y al brigada Manuel Velasco Román, al sargento primero Raúl Rodríguez Ibarrola y al sargento Carlos Gago Herráez, por su eficaz desempeño en diversas acciones de desactivación de artefactos explosivos improvisados (IED).

También han recibido Citación como Distinguido en la Orden General, por diversos actos meritorios entre marzo y diciembre de 2010, el capitán Pedro León Alonso; el sargento primero Sergio Santos Marín; los sargentos Juan José Duque Muñoz, Rafael Armada de Losada y Emilio Sánchez Peño; los cabos mayores José Cano Montes y Javier Espinosa Ortega; el cabo primero Marcelino Jiménez Rodríguez; el cabo José Antonio Regalado Doménech; y el caballero legionario Álvaro Expósito Medrano.

Parece que los "canarios" están activos, las cifras son diferentes si la noticia la da la OTAN o una agencia:

-Entre 5 y 12 insurgentes muertos.
-Posible muerte de dos miembros del ANA, otros dos heridos
-A ver que se entiende por anti-aircaft weaponts...

More than five insurgents were killed after they attempted to attack a combined Afghan and coalition force operating in Qadis District, Badghis, yesterday.

The unit reported receiving small-arms and rocket-propelled grenade fire while conducting a security patrol. After gaining positive identification, the unit returned fire and called for air support.

An air weapons team in the area dropped multiple ordnance rounds on several different positions after positively identifying armed insurgents, including a compound where insurgents were armed with AK-47s, anti-aircraft weapons and RPGs.

Initial reports indicate there were no civilian casualties. http://www.dvidshub.net/news/71977/isaf ... nal-update http://www.isaf.nato.int/article/isaf-r ... -2011.html

by Abdul Latif Ayubi on 12 June, 2011 - 17:37

QALA-I-NAW (PAN): A dozen militants and two Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers were killed during a joint operation in northwestern Badghis province, officials said on Sunday

Two ANA soldiers were wounded during the two-day offensive in the Khairkhana area of Qadis district, a National Directorate of Security official told Pajhwok Afghan News on condition of anonymity.

Local Taliban commander Abdul Hakim, who took part in the fighting, said a local security force member was also killed. The local force was supporting the army personnel, he added.

"The fighting was very intense," said Haji Musa, a resident of the area. He had no idea of casualties, because people were barred from entering the scene.

Meanwhile, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) media office in Kabul confirmed the clash, saying five insurgents had been killed so far in the joint operation. http://www.pajhwok.com/en/2011/06/12/do ... -offensive
