On December 5th, 2007, a combined force of Afghan National Security Forces and Coalition soldiers were conducting a reconnaissance mission for a weapons cache when two squad-size elements of insurgents ambushed them with small-arms, rocket and indirect fire. Our forces returned small-arms and mortar fire, which allowed them to out-maneuver the insurgent forces and engage them with close air support.

The combined forces overwhelmed the insurgents with superior firepower, despite the arrival of enemy reinforcements.
