yes we did a mission well for you guys we all hope you guys will support you guys because you guys just came from other countries like from America in Afghanistan to help us support our country and our forces in here so no worries about that will help you guys and we'll support you guys he came up here because yesterday he was attacked by a member of um and he was explaining what happened because he's worried about like reputations that will tell us false information and what won't work with him anymore we tell him to come up each week because he basically maintains security at the mouth of that Valley that he's at and he's not afraid to fight Isis so that in itself is a reason that we feel like it's valuable to maintain a relationship with him we've seen quite a few guys digging on trails that we commonly traveled between us so we're going to go up there and check out what he's doing and see if he's up to do a good are you jumping in the gun okay hey on the left side there should be an m4 holder okay [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] they had observed to military-age males digging in a trail between us and Butler and that they were seeing them implant something or play something within the holes and put dirt in bags and carry it back down the hill are we in a bet down by the mainland Rock found the potential ie D and now the guys are figuring on what to do pretty much there was some guys coming up on the road I think they buried something right on the road that leads into oh we found one of the dig sites or I found two of the dig sites we weren't able to confirm if there was anything actually buried we got a grid of the area and then we'll go back with nm RG and make sure to clear that and make sure there's nothing in there that's the issue we're gonna come back up and clear this valley so kind of like a little practice run to see ground truth on how we can formulate our plan to come and rid this valley [Music] [Music] just this mountain vehicles were getting ready to go on an Sno mission which stands for surveillance and observation I'm gonna be going up on a ridge line that directly overlooks a valley that Isis currently controls so could get hairy but there's only one way to find out [Music] so in the past I put the F Peter they PI e DS in the deity's so you know their clarinet just watch your stuff that was a pretty tough climb we're up at the SNL position now sweeping for mines nice SK has been known to weave mines and IEDs up on top of these ridge lines that overlook their positions so we got to be extra careful stick to a large rock stuff like that 8:22 for the compounds behind it and then near the center you have what I call green windows because they're all green window frames are sitting at 980 [Music] just heard gunshots and an explosion coming up from the valley below us American troops have taken contact in this valley every single time they've came to it this is an Isis stronghold [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] drop the 500 250 pounder that's impressive fire down and house ever I'm thinking contact [Music] hey they hit at night yeah anybody did [Music] he had a KA and some wounded in action so we're gonna evac down on top of the back off of the ridge and just as we were getting ready to push back out looks like they hit a couple more IEDs so it's a real mess down there now we're stopped in a security halt again trying to figure out just from like foreign fighters coming here analyzes guys have a lot better training just got back off the ridgeline we're now heading back to the oak Pete ALP took quite a bit of fire they had some wounded and I believe one killed in action we took a little bit of fire up on the ridge line multiple f-16s dropped a lot of ordnance as well as some gunships it doesn't matter how long the war has been fought what the politicians say or any of the other issues that seem to dominate headlines in place of caring about the war these soldiers are fighting they are the men on the ground and they worry about one thing taming the moment Valley [Music]
