His first award, the medal "For Courage", Dorji received during the Battle of Kursk in August 1943.
In March 1944, Tyheev accomplished the feat, for which he was presented to his first military order, Glory of the 3rd degree. When the Nazis tried to free the captured "language", "Comrade Tyheev rejected the enemy and destroyed three soldiers," and a few days later "threw grenades into the enemy’s machine gun and allowed the reconnaissance group to capture the prisoner."
In the summer of 1944, the commander of the reconnaissance company, Dorji Tyheev, destroyed ten enemy soldiers, captured one German, and in the course of another raid behind enemy lines threw German dugouts with grenades, captured two "languages" and extracted valuable documents.

Dorji Tyheev was keen on hunting. One day he returned from the taiga with a moose hunted, the meat was distributed among the villagers. However, one of the villagers reported him to the police, accusing Dorji of poaching. The license for the prey of the beast from Dorji really was not. The police arrived in the village to arrest Dorji, but he managed to hide in the taiga before they arrived. For some time he lived in a remote zaimka. Having learned about it, the policemen went there, but the former front-line reconnaissance officer and this time remained elusive.
