Unità della Divisione avevano un disperato bisogno di rifornimento di munizioni il 5 novembre 1956.
Il tenente maggiore tecnico Kosarev ha ricevuto la missione di prendere dieci mitragliatrici e quattro veicoli al deposito di artiglieria e ritornare con 122 millimetri di munizioni per obice.
Durante il viaggio, il compagno Kosarev era impegnato in una imboscata veicolare da due mitragliatrici e circa 30 mitragliatrici.
Il compagno Kosarev ordinò ai suo personale di smontare e ha combattuto per cinque ore.
Successivamente ha convocato l'assistenza di unità adiacenti ed è stato in grado di rompere l'imboscata.
Come risultato della sua fermezza e il corretto svolgimento della battaglia, il compagno Kosarev aperto la strada per il passaggio veicolare e, di conseguenza, ha permesso di fornitura di munizioni senza interruzioni.
Conclusione: Per l'audacia e la resistenza nel compimento di una missione di combattimento, il compagno Kosarev è meritevole dell 'Ordine della Stella Rossa.
