On July 29, 2004, 7 US Soldiers supporting 20 Afghan National Army soldiers drive deep into Ghor Province to meet with a difficult local warlord and broker peace. However, they are ambushed in Morghab Canyon by over 10 times their number of enemy fighters - the very troops of the warlord they are going to meet. Outnumbered, outgunned, the odds hopelessly against them, they must hold out for hours before any help arrives. Morghab Canyon was the largest enemy scale action in Afghanistan as of 2004. It's amazing any of the US soldiers survived.

<p>In September 2005, Anti-Coalition militia stole official voting ballots in Kamdesh, Nuristan, endangering the validity of the elections. Although Nuristan was considered a haven for al Qaeda and other anti-American factions and not an area where American forces operated, Task Force Phoenix deployed five US National Guardmen to provide an American presence and to ensure the elections proceeded. Five American soldiers, a remote and dangerous province, an unknown number of enemy insurgents, some possibly hiding among the Afghan National Army, unfriendly locals, a dirty ANA officer, and the Afghan National elections at stake...its amazing any of them survived.</p>
