Afghanistan, Nangarhar Province, Mohmand Valley, 22 April 2018 Members of the Afghan National Mine Reduction/Removal Group (NMRG) assist members of an U.S. Army Green Beret Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA) team to cross a small river during a foot patrol from OP Bravo in Mohmand Valley, into the mouth of Takhte Valley, (spelling is phonetic, based on the pronunciation of ODA members - I cannot find it on any maps). There, they planned to assess how to upgrade a small hydroelectric generator that services residents of the Takhte Valley and Pekha Valley, further downstream, into which residents have flooded since ISIS-K were pushed out and up into the Takhte Valley toward the border with Pakistan. South of the valley mouth, upstream, where the hydroelectric generator sits, ISIS-K, the ODA team said, controls the battle-space. Although the team members didn't spot any ISIS-K members on their patrol, they nonetheless fired mortars into one hillside where fighters had been identified previously. While returning to base an Apache Attack Helicopter surveilling in the skies above identified a Defensive Fighting Position (DFP) which was destroyed by a 500lb bomb dropped from an F16 approximately half an hour later. Soon after the strike, radio chatter was intercepted by ODA communication specialists. They recorded a suspected ISIS-K fighter lamenting that "they have destroyed everything [inside the DFP], even my clothes."
