Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 Mack was flying a Chinook helicopter along with Razor 03, code-named Razor, to drop off special operations teams in the mountains on both sides of the Shah-i-Kot valley. He was tasked with delivering the SEALs to their offset LZ.#2 Slab and his teammates were stuck with a broken helicopter and the threat of daylight, which they dreaded. The other pilots in the area proposed an easy solution: a front-end swap, in which the pilots and their passengers would switch to a healthy aircraft.#3 The team was delayed in reaching the LZ by 2200 Zulu, which meant they would have to climb 2,000 feet to an upper ridge and find a defensible position in which to hide and observe the peak before taking it over.#4 The team was not able to reach the mountaintop in time, so Slab decided to push forward with the mission anyway, despite the risks. He called back to Bagram to his highest commander, Air Force General Gregory Trebon, who was deputy commander of JSOC and the commander of Task Force 11.
