"Counter Attack"

First Rock Paratroopers maneuver against Taliban and Foreign Fighters
after they are engaged in a far ambush while moving through a dry river
bed in Eastern Paktika province. All the while gunners and our brave
soldiers deliver withering return fire; they are fixing the enemy position,
setting up a support by fire with 60mm mortars to suppress with high
explosive rounds, denying the weary enemy escape routes with the
support of attack aviation and finishing the enemy force with close air
support JDAM strikes. The mountainous and canalizing terrain Eastern
Paktika Province favors the ambusher, a fact that the Taliban used to the
best of their ability. Nevertheless, precise and efficient coordination with
air and indirect fire support, superior physical stamina and discipline
among our individual paratroopers, and constant training meant that
during contact, Task Force Eagle and 1-503rd Airborne, always
maintained decisive advantage.

During Operation Enduring Freedom VIII, spanning from May 2007 to late
July 2008, Task Force Eagle was responsible for maintaining security,
improving governance and assisting with the development of
Afghanistan’s Eastern Paktika Province. The Battalion Task Force’s area
of operations included the sprawling tundra, rolling hills and craggy cliffs
of the ten districts comprising Area of Operation Eagle: Gomal, Gayan,
Bermel, Orgun, Naka, Zerok, Sar Hawzah, Southern Spera, Charboran and
Sarobi. Over that fifteen month period, First Rock Paratroopers were
involved in 346 troops in contact fights, fired just over 20,000 rounds of
artillery and mortars, hit the enemy with 269 JDAMs, suffered 59 wounded
in action and lost 12 of our beloved comrades to the conflict in the
Eastern Paktika Province.

Through all of the sustained fighting the paratroopers of Task Force
Eagle remained focused on improving governance in close partnership
with each district governor, driving development efforts through the
expenditure of a dramatic $22.4 million toward essential road, education,
irrigation and agricultural projects, and provided an added measure of
security for the devout people of Eastern Paktika through constant
capacity building efforts with the Afghan National Army, National Police
and Border Police. The strides of the brave soldiers of this great Task
Force, made through these long months and at such a significant cost in
blood and treasure, left an indelible mark in the history of warfare and
gave this corner of Afghanistan a chance to enjoy true democracy for the
first time in their history.
