CL (Fed) Malaen, who left his post as deputy super intendent ef Oregon state police te enter the army with the na tional guard, was recently de corated with the silver star as a result ef his leadership In the Hollandla operation. . When tt CeL H. G. (Fed) Mai son of Salem was decorated with the sflverj star by Maj. Gen. Hor ace H. Filler, commander of the 4lst division, for exceptional lead ership: arid tactical Judgment in the Hollandia operation, the award was accornpanied, by this citation: "On April 1, 1944, the command ing general verbally warned the infantry of the impending opera-, tion. Shortly thereafter, battalion missions were assigned with the third battalion, commanded by Lt Cot Maison, directed to land on White ' Bech 4. Humboldt Bay, and proceed to the regimental ob jective, Lemok hiU. Lt Col. Mai son immediately directed details and thorough planning for the op eration. His exceptional knowledge of the needs of the elements in his command Resulted in the most ef fective allotment and use of per sonnel, weapons, equipment and the limited transportation avail able, j ' ., "From D-day, April 22, until April 30, Lit CoL Maison outstand ingly commanded his battalion in the active operations in the Hol landia area. On D-day the battal ion moved from larger craft in LVTs I (Buffaloes), landing .on White Beafch 4 in Humboldt Bay. Lt CoL Maison carefully planned the tactical use of these vehicles and his employment of them was exceptionally sound. Since the LVT's coud not . proceed up the steep slopes from Beach 4, troops disembarked and moved boldly and rapidly in the face of possible and7 expected 'stiff Opposition over the rough terrain onto Lemok hill. With practically no opposition the objective was taken at 1012 hours (10:12 a. rh.). During this phase Lt Cot Maison kept a flow of worthwhile j and necessary infor mation to the regiment which re-; suited in the uninterrupted ad vance of other elements. Lt CoL ! Maison actively led the movement of his battalion and his leadership was greatly responsible for the in itial " important ' accomplishment When the first battalion arrived at Lemok hill the third battalion moved by marching toward Pirn. The advance elements arrived at 1828 (428 p. m.) in Pirn. Lt' CoL Maison ordered that night defen ses be established. The entire first day's action! had been exceedingly bold, rapid and orderly. Lt CoL Maison's coolness, , personal drive and front-line leadership instilled offensive spirit and confidence in the personnel of his command. The terrain covered was rough and hilly, trails were . slippery and muddy, a light rain was a def inite hindrarice. - . The following three days Lt CoL Maison! moved his battalion from Pirn toward the inland dromes, alternating as the advance troops with! -the first battalion. During this period 118 enemy were accounted for. as killed. The bat talion casualties were almost neg ligible. The j terrain covered was extremely rough jungle, the bat talion repairing the track while on the move ao supplies could ' be moved bverj passable roadways. Personnel carried jungle packs, ra tions and .'hand - -carried heavy loads of weapons and ammunition. Regardless of loads and difficult terrain, equipment was ! properly cared for and movement was 'very orderly. The outstanding leader Ship, the confidence and optimism displayed by Lt- CoL Maison re flected throughout the battalion. Its- spirit regardless of obstacles was commendable. - Qf-y---" "On April! 28, Lt CoL Maison moved the battalion from NefaarJ on Lake Sentani to Cyclops drome. By the middle of the morning the objective had been taken and the battalion was on the southeast end of the drome -in position to hold If counter resistance was. met Here again the sound tactical movement directed by Lt .
