Question: What was the intention of the battle where Robert T. Waugh received the Medal of Honor for his actions?
Context: The Battle of Ganjgal was a battle in the War in Afghanistan fought between American and Afghan forces and the Taliban in Kunar Province, Afghanistan on September 8, 2009.  Complaints that the coalition casualties were avoidable and caused by a failure of the chain of command to provide fire support for the team triggered an official investigation and a series of reprimands to several US military officers.  Army Captain William D. Swenson and Marine Corporal Dakota Meyer received the Medal of Honor for their actions during the battle.  Meyer is the first living Marine to receive the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War, and Swenson is the fifth living Soldier and first officer to receive the Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War.  Two other Marines at the battle, Staff Sgt. Juan Rodriguez-Chavez and Capt. Ademola Fabayo, received the Navy Cross. Osborn Warren Deignan (February 24, 1873 – April 16, 1916) was an enlisted sailor and later a Warrant Officer in the United States Navy.  He received his country's highest military decoration—the Medal of Honor—for actions in the Spanish–American War.  Born in Iowa, he joined the Navy in 1894 and participated in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, the largest naval engagement of the Spanish-American war.  Deignan and seven others attempted to block the entrance to Santiago Harbor, Cuba but the Spanish destroyed their ship before they could accomplish their mission, and took them prisoner.  The men were later released and Deignan received the Medal of Honor for his actions.  He went on to become an officer and served in various posts and ships throughout the Navy until retiring in 1906.  He died in Colorado in 1916, and was buried in California. Virginia Sorensen, née Eggertsen, also credited as Virginia Sorenson (February 17, 1912, in Provo, Utah – December 24, 1991), was the author of the 1957 John Newbery Medal winning "Miracles on Maple Hill", based in the Erie, Pennsylvania region where she lived at the time.  She grew up in Manti and American Fork, Utah.  Her first novel, "A Little Lower Than the Angels", was written and published in 1942 while she resided in Terre Haute, Indiana, with her first husband Frederick C. Sorensen, a professor at Indiana State Teachers College, now Indiana State University.  With its publication, Alfred Knopf declared, "I have seldom introduced a new novelist with the confidence I feel in the author of this remarkable book.  It marks the debut, I believe, of a major American writer."  She is considered "one of Utah's premiere gifts to literary America."  Her first book for children, "Curious Missy", grew out of her efforts with a bookmobile in Alabama.  She later divorced Sorensen and married Alec Waugh, son of Arthur Waugh and brother of Evelyn Waugh, in 1969.  Her books are usually Mormon-themed.  She received two Guggenheim fellowships, one in 1946 to study tribe of Mexican Indians, and one in 1954 to study in Denmark as regards the history of Sanpete Valley's settlers. Edward Herrick Gibson (July 4, 1872 – April 25, 1942) was a United States Army Sergeant received the Medal of Honor for actions during the Philippine-American War.  He was awarded the Medal for the same action as Corporal Antoine Gaujot.  The Medal was received for actions on December 19, 1899 at the Battle of Paye near Mateo during the Philippine-American War.  Gibson is buried in Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, California. The Battle of Monte Cassino (also known as the Battle for Rome and the Battle for Cassino) was a costly series of four assaults by the Allies against the Winter Line in Italy held by Axis forces during the Italian Campaign of World War II.  The intention was a breakthrough to Rome. Hershel Woodrow "Woody" Williams (born October 2, 1923) is a retired United States Marine who received the Medal of Honor for his actions in the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II.  He is the last surviving recipient of the Medal of Honor from that battle and the last surviving United States Marine to receive the Medal of Honor for heroism in World War II. Peter Charles Lemon (born June 5, 1950) is a former United States Army soldier and a recipient of the U.S. military's highest award, the Medal of Honor.  He received the award for his actions on April 1, 1970, while serving in Tây Ninh Province during the Vietnam War.  He dedicates the Medal of Honor to the three comrades he lost in the battle which he received the award for: Casey Waller, Nathan Mann and Brent Street.  Lemon is the only Canadian-born U.S. citizen to be presented the medal for fighting in the Vietnam War.  He is the eighth-youngest living Medal of Honor recipient. Paul Ray Smith (September 24, 1969 – April 4, 2003) was a United States Army Sergeant First Class who posthumously received the Medal of Honor for his actions in Operation Iraqi Freedom.  While serving with B Company, 11th Engineer Battalion, 3rd Infantry Division in Baghdad, Iraq, his team was attacked by a group of Iraqi fighters and after a short firefight he was killed by Iraqi fire.  For his actions during this battle he was recommended and approved for the Medal of Honor.  Two years later, the medal, along with the newly approved Medal of Honor flag, were presented to his family; specifically to his eleven-year-old son David, at a White House ceremony by the President of the United States George W. Bush. Robert T. Waugh (died May 19, 1944) was a United States Army officer and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions during the Battle of Monte Cassino in World War II. The Sword of Honour trilogy by Evelyn Waugh consists of three novels, "Men at Arms" (1952), "Officers and Gentlemen" (1955) and "Unconditional Surrender" (1961, published as "The End of the Battle" in the US), which loosely parallel Waugh's experiences in the Second World War.  Waugh received the 1952 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for "Men at Arms".
