Operation Anaconda

(Discount below)

In March 2002, U.S. forces launched Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan’s Shah-i-Kot Valley.

Inserted at 8,000–10,000 feet, American troops faced freezing temperatures, thin air, and entrenched Al-Qaeda fighters holding the high ground.

During the battle on Takur Ghar — later known as Roberts Ridge — a U.S. Navy SEAL, Neil Roberts, fell from a helicopter under heavy fire.
Multiple rescue attempts followed.
Seven Americans were killed in the fight to recover him.

It became one of the most intense and defining moments of the early GWOT.

Cold. Exhausted. Covered in dust and JP-8.

They probably could’ve used some soap.
