Beira) is closed at a campground south of 8 km, and is supported by communication lines on the ground. In line with the theory of insurgency, the battalion negotiated with the village head of Wanut and built the outpost of battle using the land.

The Wanat campaign took place on July 13, 2008 when troops, including guerrillas of Al Qaeda and the Taliban, attacked the NATO troops near Wanat Village in the Wayar region of Nuristan Province in eastern Afghanistan. The battle of Wanut was said to be "the fall of Black Hawk" in the Afghanistan War, which is one of the most intensive attacks in the war and one of several attacks in remote areas . Compared to previous roadside bombs, random attacks and ambush attacks, this attack has been successfully coordinated with many rebels and terrorist group combatants, whose efforts are disciplined and sustained, accurately predicting TOW I was able to aim.

On July 13, 2008, the guerrilla fighters of Al Qaeda and Taliban fought against the NATO army. This took place near Wanat in the Waygal district of Nuristan in Afghanistan.

For most (if not all) American soldiers, the battle outpost, mission command and ARFORGEN are almost pointless. Today these references are instantly identifiable to us all and contain only a number of significant influences to the US military over the past decade. In the face of so many challenges, we have demonstrated a number of advantages such as the determination and adaptability of the junior leader and the dedication to the service they have shown through numerous developments. However, we are also working hard to maintain the highest standards of weapons profession in certain areas. As we did elsewhere in history, our evaluation is time to refresh and update our understanding of our occupation.
