          the hastily prepared enemy defensive positions of elements of the lst
          Mechanized Infantry and 3d Iraqi Armored Divisions, Lieutenant Colonel
          Jones continued an unrelenting attack through it's objective, capturing
          and destroying many enemy tanks and APCs. Realizing that the enemy was
          in full retreat, he pushed the attack forward to cut the two vital MSRs
          out of Kuwait City to block enemy units fleeing north.
               1st Battalion, 6th Marines' highly successful three days of combat
          in OPERATION DESERT STORM achieved tremendous results by destroying
          120 enemy tanks and armored personnel carriers,           numerous artillery
          pieces and capturing in excess of 3400 enemy soldiers. That +act can be
          directly   attributed    to    Lieutenant    Colonel   Jones'     exceptional
          combat leadership. Lieutenant Colonel Jones' aggressive, inspirational
          and up-+ront leadership while under fire, throughout OPERATION DESERT
          STORM,   reflects great credit upon himself and is in keeping with the
          highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
