SBS & U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan, 2001

Footage showing the SBS team arriving at the Qala-i-janghi fort uprising. US Special Forces (Green Berets) can been seen arriving in a white Toyota van, with the SBS following closely behind in 2 land rovers with white paint schemes. One of the Green Berets can be seen conferring with a CIA operative who had previously had to flee the fort when the uprising began. The subsequent fighting became so intense that the SBS removed the GPMGs from their vehicle mounts and took them up to the battlements in order to engage the Taliban inside.
