Sgt. Major Thomas Payne will be presented with the nation’s highest military award on Sept. 11 for “conspicuous gallantry,” according to the White House, CNN reported.
Payne led a combined assault team during a “daring nighttime hostage rescue” in Kirkuk province.
His “extraordinary heroism and selfless actions were key to liberating 75 hostages during a contested rescue mission that resulted in 20 enemy fighters killed in action,” the White House statement said.
Mass graves had been discovered during surveillance, a US official with direct knowledge about the raid told CNN at the time.
The freed hostages later said they had been told they would be executed after morning prayers.
