I'm conscious this is an old topic (sorry to reactivate it) but I'm just curious...
The General Order says that the assault landing of 10th SFG had been done by Helicopters. Wasn't it MC-130H ? I had heard that one of the aircraft had to be diverted to Turkey for an emergency landing because it suffered multiple hits (including one that severly damaged one of the engine). I guess I read it in the book "All Roads lead to Baghdad" or maybe "On Point 1".
And I also guess some elements of the 3-3 SFG (attached to the 10th SFG for operations in Northern Iraq) participated to the assault landing. Am I wrong ? If so, why aren't they credited in the General Order like their colleagues from 10th SFG ?
