 It started out when a team of nine soldiers-Pvt. Frank Robinson, Sgt. Joseph Lancaster, Pvt. James Jackson, Capt. Carlos Garcia, Lt. Damien Miller, Pvt. Robert Lockhart, Pvt. William Grimm, Sgt. Henry Killian, and Pvt. John Gore- went on a scouting mission under Lt. Col. Lewis Henry Doherty. Doherty went back to base as the soldiers scouted, when Pvt. Jackson and Sgt. Lancaster were spotted. All the team members were chased back to a small wooded area near the banks of the Tiber River, where the team members put up a large fight, coming into ferocious close-quarters fighting with a whole century of Roman soldiers, eventually escaping but later wounded, captured, interrogated, beaten, tortured, and executed by firing squad. Doherty, later hearing of the news- decided to position his troops on a small ridge near a swampy, wooded area, and the marshy banks of the Tiber River. His very modern, highly-trained, professional troops, armed with rifles, machine guns, and artillery, proved extremely efficient and effective in combat with the battle-tested Roman forces. They held the ridge for over 18 days, after constant sniping and machine-gun fire, artillery barrages, and fierce hand-to hand combat, the brilliant American commander, Lewis Doherty, gave orders to the troops to give chase to Roman cavalry and infantry soldiers. This proved effective, and Doherty and his troops, charging down a large slope, eventually overran and overwhelmed Roman positions in ferocious fighting with knives, shovels, and stakes, as well as their bare hands and teeth. They then positioned a sharpshooter named Emmett Doherty, the brother of the brilliant commander, with a designated marksman rifle, to guard troops. He proved an amazing killing machine and a patient sniper, and shot down or killed 64 enemy soldiers. After the main battle of rifles, the American soldiers eventually won, but at a cost, and the United States government awarded every battalion soldier the Congressional Medal of Honor.
