| The Valley Boys: How a Lone SF Team is Fighting ISIS in Remote Mountains of AFG |
| 2018-07-03 |
| [Black Rifle Coffee Co.] Buck, a former US Army Ranger-turned-Special Forces communication sergeant, quietly watched as a C-130 cargo airplane lifted off from the runway at Jalalabad Airfield with a deafening roar, quickly ascending into the pitch-black sky. "I know there’s a scientific explanation for it, but it still blows my mind every time I see it," Buck said. "I mean, something that big just doesn’t seem like it should be able to take off like that." The lone operator was patiently waiting for his hour-long flight out to combat outpost (COP) Blackfish, located in Nangarhar Province’s Achin District, where the rest of his Special Forces team was deployed. Only 11 kilometers from the Pakistan border, the remote camp is one of the most forward positions the US military holds in the fight against ISIS-Khorasan. |
