BATTLESPACE: Memorial Day Mission



The Battle of Takur Ghar was a short but intense military engagement between United States special operations forces and al-Qaeda insurgents fought in March 2002¸ atop Takur Ghar mountain in Afghanistan. For the U.S. side¸ the battle proved the deadliest entanglement of Operation Anaconda¸ an effort early in the War in Afghanistan to rout al-Qaeda forces from the Shahi-Kot Valley and Arma Mountains. The battle saw three helicopter landings by the U.S. on the mountain top¸ each greeted by direct assault from al-Qaeda forces. Although Takur Ghar was eventually taken¸ seven U.S. service members were killed and many wounded. The battle is also known as the Battle of Roberts Ridge¸ after the first casualty of the battle¸ Navy SEAL Neil C. Roberts.
To those in uniform who gave their lives¸ we honor you on this day.
