Special Operations Team Close With and Drop Munitions on Taliban
Published 3 years ago
Footage recorded by Combat Controller Mark A Forester in Afghanistan captures an entire gunfight between the ODA team he was attached to, their Afghan National Army counter-parts, and the Taliban.
This video, produced by Dan Schilling, goes moment by moment through an entire gunfight that was recorded by Mark Forester while he was attached to an ODA team in Afghanistan. While this is not the gunfight that ultimately ended his life while attempting to save a team member, it is an eye-opening look into the life of a Combat Controller on the ground in Afghanistan.
If you're at all interested in combat controllers, then I highly recommend checking out other work by Dan Schilling and his team. They are also the ones who put together the video of John Chapman's heroic last stand which earned him the Congressional Medal of Honor.
