4th Infantry Division Ambushed In Korengal Valley
Published 3 years ago
Video from OEF's RC East, most likely in the vicinity of the Korengal Valley, shows what appears to be Bravo Company of the 2-12 Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division's 4th Brigade Combat Team reacting to one or more Taliban ambushes in the summer of 2009.
The platoon's forward observer (FO) can be seen calling in enemy coordinates to Battalion fires to get close air support on station. While the Americans have superior firepower, the Taliban have the home field advantage and are using preplanned attack points that they've perfected over several years of fighting the US in the same areas.
