Afghanistan, Nangarhar Province, Mohmand Valley, 20 April 2018
After three figures, lying prone on a mountain 3KM from OP Bravo, where an American Green Beret Operational Detachment Alpha team (ODA) is stationed, were identified by Apache attack helicopters providing Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) support to the team, and a Line Of Bearing (LOB), (radio chatter and the location from which it came) was picked up by the ODA communication specialists, members of the ODA, including an Air force Combat Controller who communicated with and coordinated the air assets and spoke with senior officers up the chain of command, snipers and others using high-powered telescopes--some with thermal imaging capability--searched the hillside for the target. Ultimately, the three figures were saved by a cloud that covered the mountain peak, obscuring them from the view of the ISR assets above, while the decision whether or not to strike the target was assessed up the chain of command. The ODA members were frustrated by the delay which, they believe, meant that three fighters got away before they could be killed.

The identity of the ODA and its individuals are not to be published, hence why they have not been included in the caption information.
