Title:

Gunfight and Airstrike in Korengal Valley

Description:

U.S. Army and Air Force personnel assigned to Company B, 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, return fire Aug. 13 at insurgent positions in the Korengal Valley's steep hillside in Afghanistan's Kunar Province. The 20-minute gun battle ended when 500 pound bombs, dropped by Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles, destroyed insurgent positions in the surrounding hills. No civilians were injured during the battle. International Security Assistance Force troops across Afghanistan have increased operations in recent months, in order to ensure safety and security during Afghanistan's second national election, scheduled for the end of August.
