On this day in U.S. Army SOF History........02 June 2012

British SAS and US Delta Force conduct joint operation which successfully rescues 5 foreign aid workers from a gang of insurgents in Shahr-e-Bozorg district near the Afghan – Tajikistan border.

SAS and Delta Force arrived by helicopter and took part in “long march” (c ref) to a cave where the 5 aid workers were being held in a maze of caves.

The two teams then engaged insurgents in a firefight and overpowered the heavily armed kidnappers, and the hostages were rescued in the cave assaulted by the SAS.

11 insurgents were killed in the assault and there were no fatalities or injuries to the D-boys nor SAS



Interesting choice of words, not ALL, not MOST, not SOME, but 11 insurgents were killed

Go D-Boys & SAS :lifter


ref: “long march” - I'm willing to guess 5-10 miles with full battle ready ruck. Rucking is not a sport,, it's a job.. :munchin
