Operation WHITE KNIGHT - A 36hr TIER 1 OBUA Combat Operation

Description: Task Force (TF) 76 primary objective during Operation JAWBREAKER was to kill / capture several High Value Individuals (HVI) iot* severely cripple the Al Qaeda and Taliban (AQT) Command element in the southern district of Asadabad, the capital city of the Kunar province, Afghanistan.

TF 76 were successful in capturing their HVI Priority one (1) and killing their HVI Priority two (2). This was not without massive loss to the TF and at least 15 soldiers were killed during the operation as a result of the extremely dangerous nature of the environment and the mission.

However, during the operation the TF was able to meet with a small group of the local civilian population (CIVPOP) who had stayed on in the district and begin a small hearts and minds program to gain their trust. Their trust was indeed gained which led to the identification of several AQT individuals previously unknown to ISAF and in particularly JSOC.

Unfortunately the fighting became extremely kinetic throughout the district and the small group of remaining local CIVPOP decided to abandon their homes and shops and flee to the nearby mountains where the remainder of the district CIVPOP were taking refuge away from the fighting.

The fighting was indeed ferocious and the TF was pulled out of the district after handing the Patrol Base (PB) over to US Army Rangers from Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.

After several months the impact of having removed key individuals from the AQT command structure is proving to have good effect and small groups of CIVPOP are returning to the district and have began to rebuild their lives.

To ensure this continues JSOC has decided to send in a small element of 1st SFOD-D operators from TF 76 to aid the Rangers in identifying and Kill / Capturing any AQT commanders should they infiltrate the district.

However, the emphasis is now on stabilising the district and begin a large-scale Hearts and Minds campaign convincing the local people that it is safe to return and that the coalition forces are there for their safety.

A joint TF made up of Special Operation Forces from TF 76 and a company of US Army Rangers from Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment are to prepare for an Extremely High Risk (EHR) counter insurgency operation in an hostile urban environment iot* make safe the Southern district of Asadabad to enable the local CIVPOP to return to this area.
