This appears to be an anthology containing at least two stories. "Dangerous Mission" follows Lieutenant Glenn's underwater demolition team as they conduct training in explosives and mining techniques at a naval base at Pusan, with lessons learned directly applied to their operations. "Harvest of Death" depicts the same frogmen team executing an underwater assault on an enemy seaport, infiltrating through an underwater culvert and planting explosives in a deep cave to destroy the fortification. "Medal of Honor" recounts the story of Corporal Charles Eddy of the U.S. Army, who died in combat after single-handedly attacking three Red divisions, earning the nation's highest military award for his extraordinary bravery and sacrifice.

Contains 4 stories
Assignment Suicide!
7 pp · War

Lieutenant Glenn and his newly trained Underwater Demolition Team are called to active duty in Korea, where they're tasked with a dangerous mission: knock out enemy coastal defenses at the Communist supply port of Hochang before the invasion fleet can move in. After intensive training at a remote naval base—learning to execute high-speed insertions, demolition placements, and extractions—the outfit proves themselves ready for the real thing and ships out to the Pacific. Now they're on the ground in Korea, ready to face their first combat assignment.

Dangerous Mission!
7 pp · War

Lieutenant Glenn leads his underwater demolition team on a covert sabotage mission against the enemy port of Hochang—they've got six hours to swim in, plant explosives at a fortified island and causeway, and escape before dawn. With listening devices guarding the harbor and enemy sentries patrolling the shore, every second counts as the team splits up to neutralize the beach defenses and destroy the fort that could threaten the invasion force arriving at dawn. This is wartime demolition work where training meets deadly reality, and one mistake means a man doesn't come home.

Harvest of Death!
6 pp · War

Lieutenant Glenn leads an undersea commando team on a dangerous sabotage mission against an enemy seaport fortress, planting explosives in a hidden cave beneath the fort while evading enemy patrols searching the island above. As the countdown to detonation ticks away, the team must extract themselves and rendezvous with their pickup before the charges go off—all while an enemy launch threatens to discover their operation.

Medal of Honor!
5 pp · War

Corporal Charles Eddy of the 35th Regiment stages a desperate solo stand at a captured enemy bunker to help his trapped unit escape three encircling Red divisions—a sacrifice that costs him dearly, only for fate to intervene in ways no one could have predicted. When Eddy mysteriously reappears six months later, the full story of his survival emerges, along with the remarkable reason he's been awarded his nation's highest honor despite everyone believing him dead. This is a tale of one soldier's ingenuity and courage under impossible odds.
