Military Raid with Special Forces in Iraq

Published: Aug. 30, 2021, 9 a.m.

Doing a Military Raid with special forces during the day was intense! We were trying to capture a high value target while waiting on confirmation that he was there. No shit, there I was flying inverted with a sling-load  while my air medal was slapping me in the face! Hyperbole  of course! Often that is how some of our stories start out! When I think back to some of these events, I do think that I wouldn't have believed it if I wasn't there. We don't normally do air assaults during the day, much less with special forces. The special forces aviation assets were tied up as they operate mostly at night, so we got the call. The real time imagery of the landing area was so cool. We don't normally have the ability to get real time imagery. Most of the time our imagery is 6+ months old. The SF guys allowed us to raid their cupboard full of snacks too. The mission was intense as a flash bang went off right after we inserted the troops. Chalk 1 thought they were hit. Luckily they weren't. 30 minutes later we came back to pick them and the high value target up. No injuries for our guys. High stress, high intensity, attention to detail and overall a success.
