His job is to establish the first outpost in the Korengal, Afghanistan's deadliest valley, and his decisions and mistakes will have a permanent impact on the men he commands. During the fifteen-month tour, his unit receives numerous decorations for valor while suffering nearly 50 percent casualties, ultimately accomplishing their mission in a land considered unwinnable. This is his chronicle of his experiences as a highly decorated Ranger Officer leading some of the most dangerous missions during the height of the Iraq and Afghan wars. When he returned in 2009, he found himself leading Rangers against friends from his first tour. -- adapted from jacket 600 10 $a McPadden, Ray. 650 0 $a Afghan War, 2001- $x Campaigns $z Korangal Valley. $z Korangal Valley. 650 0 $a Afghan War, 2001- $x Campaigns $z Korangal Valley $z Korangal Valley $v Personal narratives. 650 0 $a Afghan War, 2001- $x Veterans $z United States $v Biography. 610 10 $a United States. $b Ranger Regiment, 75th $b Ranger Regiment, 75th $v Biography. 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x Commando troops $v Biography. 650 0 $a Afghan War, 2001- $v Personal narratives, American. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Personal Narratives. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024223.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20211009012818.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20211002012723.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211001010138.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D94BF760227C11ECA4F9151B2FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
