UZBEKISTAN , K2 BASE DAYS I N COUNTRY: 23

Against overwhelming odds, all twelve members of the U .S. Army Special Forces ODA 595 survived their mission.

The capture of Mazar-i-Sharif by the Horse Soldiers and their counterparfs

is one of the US military's most stunning achievements.

Military planners predicted it would take two years. Task Force Dagger did it in three weeks.

AI Qaida considers this to be their worst defeat.

Because their mission was classified , the men of Special Forces ODA 595 returned home to their everyday Iives

with no fanfare or public acknowledgement of the near impossible mission they completed .

I n 201 4, Oeneral Dostum became Vice President of Afghanistan.

Dostum and Mitch Nelson remain close friends to this day.

I n 2002, to honor their extraordinary heroism, a statue of a Horse Soldier was dedicated at the World Trade Center site.
