The Outpost

A small unit of U.S. troopers, alone on the distant Combat Outpost Keating, situated deep within the valley of three mountains in Afghanistan, battles to defend in opposition to an awesome pressure of Taliban fighters in a coordinated assault. The Battle of Kamdesh, because it was identified, was the bloodiest American engagement of the Afghan War in 2009 and Bravo Troop 3-61 CAV grew to become one of the adorned items of the 19-year battle.
