Afghanistan TIC's - Special Forces Overwatch Afghan Commando Ops - Combat Helmet Cam

Partial Journal Entry: Aug2013 Got woken up a lot last night. Bunch of choppers bringing in the commandos, then one landed outside our base dropping kicker pallets, then it rained, then someone was dropping the pallets with the forklift right outside my room. Sucks I am positioned closest to ECP of all the tents and bedrooms. One of those nights where I kept waking up and checking the time so I didn't miss the 0500 start. Ate breakfast then we waited for D-Cap to show up with AUP. He was late again. Didn't leave till about 0745. Long drive off road on bumpy terrain. Difficult to not jerk the guys in the turrets around. I tried my best driving slowly over the bumps, using left foot on brake and right on gas. That’s how they train you to drive for better control. Was nice to get a literal change of scenery. We pulled security outside the village the commandos took over last night. They found a couple RPGs and HME. They rounded all the males up and tried to sell them on the AUP program. I was stuck with the truck so I never saw what went on. They also arrested 4 guys and I watched the AUP bring them out blindfolded and push them around a little then they put them in the back of their humvee. 2 Jets flew low through the valley as a show of force. The commandos fired a lot of warning shots with a sniper rifle and M4's at anyone they saw. Seemed like they fired a whole lot to me. We spent a couple hours there then our 3 trucks moved out to act as overwatch while the commandos walked all the way back to our compound. Our trucks were on the south side of the Wadi and they walked on the North side, so in my mind we weren't really that close. Sure enough as they were entering a village they started taking fire. They took cover and then started advancing forward into the village. I think one guy took grazing fire. Truck 1 ahead of us moved forward and finally we did too. We saw RPG rounds impact near truck 1. They crossed the Wadi to the other side of the village. We moved across too and took up position. John fired the mini gun at suspected enemy locations. ICOM chatter indicated guys with an RPK on a moped were coming. I spotted a bike to our 10 about 600m away. John fired a warning burst at them and truck 1 a 40mm grenade. They got the message and stopped and put their hands in the air. Seemed like we were in that spot for ages, while the commandos pushed through the village. In the end truck 1 came back towards us and took a route down through the Wadi. We followed. We took up another overwatch position a few hundred meters down from the village. Then we started taking small are fire. Seemed like it came from the other side of the river bed in a green zone and also from behind walls at our 10. John let out several bursts of mini gun and Mikey fired the 320mm grenade launcher. Truck 1 got stuck in the mud, his right 2 tires almost submerged completely and he was canted to the right. Truck 3 eventually came up and tried to get to truck 1. They ended up getting stuck as well. The commandos by then had pushed up parallel with our position and they continued on back towards base without us. We stopped taking incoming fire and John continued to fire warning shots at anyone he saw. Surprisingly 3 teenage boys still came walking by within 50m of us as if nothing was going on. An A-10 flew in real low through the valley as a show of force also and 2 more F16's firing flares as they went. We backed up to truck 3, Rick hooked up the tow rope and I pulled them out. Then we linked up truck 3 to truck 1 while I was still connected and the 2 of us pulled truck 1 out. We drove all the way back the same way we came, back through the Wadi then out the village North and through the open bumpy terrain back to base. The whole thing was a 6 hour affair. I was pretty smoked by the time we got back and only too glad to see hot food in the chow tent. .... Interesting 24 hrs. Started at about 0030 after a couple hours sleep woken up for QRF. Went into OpCen where everyone gathered. We were on standby. The RAID tower had visual on the commandos with the infra red camera. Basically like watching black and white TV since our RAID camera is hooked up to a 46" TV and tonights show was live. They were taking contact. We watched as a group of them on a roof engaged in a grenade throwing fight. The first building they went to clear had Taliban waiting in it with an RPK machine gun. The first commando that breached the door took 3 shots to the face and more to his chest and other body parts. He was left dead in the building with the Taliban continuing to fire at the the commandos. The rest backed off. One of the SF guys got shot in the shoulder and hand and another commando was injured too. Their medics treated them and it was a while before they could get a Medivac out. The Commandos held their position on the roof tops and we watched them engage building 15 with automatic fire. A C130 gunship flew over our area....
