US Soldiers Ambushed in Kunar Valley | 101st Airborne Helmet Cam (2010)

In August 2010, producer Jeff Newton joined a foot patrol with 20 soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division in Afghanistan’s Kunar Province. The patrol came under sudden ambush in a remote valley, an area known at the time for frequent Taliban attacks. This helmet camera footage shows how quickly the situation escalated under fire. Soldiers returned fire, treated casualties on the ground, and relied on training and equipment to survive the encounter. One soldier’s helmet took a direct hit and prevented a fatal injury, while medics applied life-saving measures under fire. Kunar Province was one of the most volatile regions in Afghanistan due to its mountainous terrain and proximity to the Pakistan border. Ambushes like this one highlight the daily risks U.S. forces faced during combat operations in 2010. #KunarValley #101stAirborne #AfghanistanWar
