CITATION:
Silver Star : The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Staff Sergeant Adam B. Dorner, United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action as a weapons Sergeant for Special Operations Task Unit (SOTU) -0116, Special Operations Task Force (SOTF) -10, in Logar Province, Afghanistan, in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM on 17 August 2010. Sergeant Dorner repeatedly exposed himself to heavy enemy machine gun fire to provide much needed cover fire for his teammates by engaging the enemy with mortar rounds. Taking advantage of the subsequent lull in insurgent fire, he led a team against the enemy forces, dislodging them and ultimately ending the engagement. His actions are in keeping with the finest traditions of military heroism and reflect distinct credit upon himself, Combined Forces Special Operations Component Command-Afghanistan, United States Forces-Afghanistan and the United States Army.
