Anatomy of a firefight

2nd of the 503rd 173rd Airborne spent 15 months in Afghanistan and engaged in approx. 1200 firefights. Their combat tour has yielded more purple hearts and valor awards per person than any I am aware of. I know many of these men and honor both them and their friends who did not make it back. The video I made below shows a fight where they were attacked from multiple directions for an hour or so boiled down to 4 and half minutes. They averaged at least two engagements every day. They were The ROCK.
