Operation SANDSTORM - A TIER 1 36hr OBUA Combat Operation

Description: Working on reliable information released to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) by the senior Al Qaeda (AQ) leader responsible for combat operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan - Mullah Kazim Numair, AKA PANTHER who was detained by Seal Team 6 (ST6) in September 2011, Task Force (TF) 76 carried out a series of Extremely High Risk (EHR) detention raids in the village of Gambir, Kunar province, East Afghanistan near the Pakistan border during March 2012.


Gambir proved to be void of any civilian population (CIVPOP) and was entirely occupied by Al Qaeda and Taliban (AQT) fighting age males. The village proved tough to establish a foothold in, but once the TF were able to break in to the village, they were able to occupy a compound from which to operate.


From this compound the TF were constantly harassed by the Enemy Forces (EF) and had to work in and amongst a constant threat from IED(s), mortar attacks, sniper fire to all out assaults on their compound.


However, during the intense Close Quarter Combat (CQC), the TF were able to detain their priority One (1) and priority two (2) High Value Individuals (HVI's) and one (1) of the two (2) AQ couriers on their list. These detainees were quickly moved out of Gambir by the CIA for debriefing at an undisclosed "Black Camp" in Uzbekistan. Unfortunately after a failed attempt to rescue a western reporter from the EF a large amount of TF 76 were Killed In Action (KIA) and or seriously wounded.


The TF has been replenished by A Squadron, 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D) and members from the USMC FORECON, the 3rd Force Reconnaissance Company.


With the TF up to full strength again, Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) has decided to rid the village of Gambir once and for all of the AQT fighters residing there. The aim is to establish a permanent Patrol Base (PB) iot* provide full time security and subsequent reconstruction of the village for the local civilian population to be able to return and live there safely.


To to that end, JSOC has decided to send TF 76 back into Gambir iot* remove that AQT threat and make safe the area.


TF 76 are therefore to prepare a Ground Assault Force (GAF) with a view to aggressively clear the Objective Area (OA).
