Clinton romesha red platoon pdf

Continue NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The only comprehensive, first-hand account of the fourteen-hour shootout at the Battle of Keating recipient Clinton Romesh, for Black Hawk Down readers Mark Bowden and Lonely Survivor Marcus Luttrell. It's no better. For us, this phrase nailed down one of the basic truths, perhaps even an important truth, about being stuck at an outpost whose strategic and tactical vulnerabilities were so evident to every soldier who ever set foot in this place, that the very name - Keating - became a kind of backhand joke. In 2009, Clinton Romesh of the Red Platoon and the rest of the Black Knight Squad were preparing to close Keating's command post, the most remote and inaccessible in a string of bases built by the U.S. military in Nuristan and Kunar in hopes of preventing the Taliban from moving freely between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three years after its construction, the army was finally ready to admit what the people on earth knew at once: it was simply too isolated and too dangerous to defend. On October 3, 2009, after years of constant small attacks, the Taliban finally decided to abandon everything they had in Keating. The ensuing fourteen-hour battle - and ultimately victory - cost eight men their lives. The Red Platoon is a thrilling first-hand account of the Battle of Keating, said Romesh, who led both the outpost's defense and counterattacks that drove the Taliban back behind the wire and received the Medal of Honor for their actions. A vital story that needs to be understood by the public, and I can't imagine an account that makes it better justice that Rochesh. --Sebastian Junger, journalist and author of The Perfect Storm Red Platoon is sure to become a classic of the genre. --Hampton Sides, author of Ghost Soldiers and The Ice Clinton Roemesh in February 2013. 1981 (age 39)Lake City, California-1AllegianceUnitEd StatesService/branchUnited States ArmyYears of Service1999-2011RankStaff SergeantUnit61st Cavalry RegimentBattles/warsIraq WarWar in Afghanistan Battle of CamdesMedal HonorBronze StarPure2leSpouse (s)Tamara Romeps (s) 2000) - Former U.S. Army soldier rɔʋməʃeɪ who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of Kamdesh in 2009 during the war in Afghanistan.

He was marked by his sense of humor and calm temperament in a difficult deployment. Romesha Medal of Honor in Afghanistan in 2009 Main article: Battle of Kamdesh October 3, 2009, according to a report published by U.S. Army historian Richard S. Lowry, the Taliban launched a coordinated attack on the outpost on three sides around 06:00, seizing its ammunition depot. About 300 militants armed with recoilless rifles, grenade launchers, mortars, machine guns and small arms took part in the attack, far exceeding the number of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), about 85 members of the U.S. Army, the Afghan National Army and the Latvian Army, as well as 35 Afghan soldiers who fled their positions. It was later known as the Battle of Kamdesh. During the first three hours of the battle, U.S. troops remained under intense mortar and small-arms fire before Taliban fighters broke through the compound and set it on fire. Romesh came under heavy fire to fight back the area and gain reinforcements from nearby barracks, helping ISAF troops regroup and fight despite being targeted by a Taliban sniper. Romesh led a firefight to retake the depot, organizing a team of five men to counterattack while still under fire. He then neutralized one of the machine-gun groups of Taliban fighters. For a second, he took cover behind a generator that was struck by a grenade, and Romesh was hit by shrapnel in his neck, shoulder and arms. Despite his wounds, Romesh led the air support, killing about 30 Taliban, and then taking over several more Taliban positions. He provided a fire suppression to allow three other wounded U.S. soldiers to reach the aid station, and then recovered several U.S. casualties while still under fire. Romeshi's efforts allowed the troops to regroup and to retake forces larger in number. The battle lasted 12 hours and eight American soldiers were killed, making the battle one of the most expensive for ISAF during the war. Nine soldiers were awarded Silver Star medals for the fight.

Romesh distinguished himself with acts of gallantry and fearlessness risking his life over duty to serve as a section commander with Bravo Troops, 3D Squadron, 61st Cavalry 4th Combat Group Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, during combat operations against an armed enemy in the kiting military outpost, Kamedesh district, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan, October 3, 2009. That morning, Staff Sergeant Romesh and his comrades awoke to attack some 300 enemy fighters occupying high positions on all four sides of the complex, using concentrated fire from recoilless rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, anti-aircraft machine guns, mortars and small arms. Staff Sgt. Romesh was moving under intense enemy fire to reconnaissance the battlefield and seek reinforcements from the barracks before returning to action with the support of a gunner's assistant. Staff Sgt. Romesh took out an enemy machine gun group and, after a second, the generator he used for cover was struck by a rocket- propelled grenade launcher, causing him shrapnel wounds. Undeterred by his injuries, Staff Sgt. Romesh continued to fight, and upon the arrival of another soldier to help him and the gunner's assistant, he again rushed across the open avenue to gather additional soldiers. Staff Sgt. Romesh then mobilized a team of five and returned to the fray with a sniper rifle. With complete disregard for his own security, Staff Sgt. Romesh constantly subjected himself to intense enemy fire, as he confidently moved on the battlefield, attracting and destroying several enemy targets, including three Taliban fighters who violated the perimeter of the military outpost. In organizing a successful plan to ensure the security and strengthening of key combat points, Staff Sgt. Romesh maintained radio communications with the tactical operations center. When enemy forces attacked with even greater brutality, unleashing a barrage of grenade launchers and recoilless rifle rounds, Staff Sgt. Romesh identified the point of attack and sent air support to destroy more than 30 enemy fighters. After receiving reports that the heavily wounded soldiers were in a remote combat position, Staff Sgt. Romesh and his team provided cover for the fire to allow the wounded soldiers to reach the aid station safely. Having been ordered to advance to the next target, his team advanced 100 meters under overwhelming enemy fire to recover and prevent enemy fighters from taking the bodies of their fallen comrades. The heroic actions of Staff Sergeant Romeshi throughout the day's battle were crucial to suppressing an enemy that had a much larger number. His extraordinary efforts gave Bravo's troops the opportunity to regroup, reorganize and prepare for a counteroffensive, allowing the Troops to account for their personnel and ensure the safety of Keating's combat outpost. Staff Sergeant Romesh's discipline and extraordinary heroism above and beyond duty reflect great credit to himself, Bravo 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division and U.S. Army.
