Record Text
During Operation Sirocco I, these individuals were members of the fourth chalk during the insertion. Once the helicopters reach the Area of Operations, it was clear that it was incredibly dangerous for landing. Chalk four’s helicopter was forced to wave off to the southern side of the town where these individuals dismounted from the helicopter and pushed through 700m of close contact engagements in streets and back-alleys facing close to 20 combatants. All members of the chalk remained focused on their mission and pushed on through to rendezvous with the rest of the ground forces.
